How do you integrate the following?

1/(e^2x + e^-2x)

Thanks!

    integral [1/(e^2x + e^-2x)] dx

    = integral [e^2x/((e^2x)^2 + 1)] dx

    = (1/2) integral [2e^2x/((e^2x)^2 + 1)] dx

    = (1/2) integral [1/(u^2 + 1)] du , using u = e^2x, du = 2e^2x dx

    = (1/2) arctan u + C

    = (1/2) arctan(e^2x) + C.

    May Jesus richly bless you today!

    ∫ 1/( e^2x + e^-2x) dx

    Let u = e^2x

    du = 2 e^2x dx

    du = 2 u dx

    dx = 1 / 2u du

    ∫ 1/( e^2x + e^-2x) dx = (1/2) ∫ 1 /u (u+ 1/u) du

    = (1/2) ∫ 1 / (u^2+1) du

    =(1/2) tan^-1(u)

    = (1/2) tan^-1( e^2x) + C
