`int e^x/(1-e^(2x))^(3/2) dx` Use integration tables to find the indefinite integral.

Indefinite integral follows the formula: `int f(x) dx = F(x)+C`


where:


`f(x)` as the integrand function


`F(x)` as the antiderivative of `f(x)`


`C ` as constant of integration.


To evaluate the given integral problem: `int (e^x)/(1-e^(2x))^(3/2) dx` or `int (e^xdx)/(1^2-(e^x)^2)^(3/2)` , we may apply u-substitution by letting:


`u =e^x`  then  `du = e^x dx` .


Plug-in the values, the integral becomes: 


`int (e^xdx)/(1^2-(e^x)^2)^(3/2) =int (du)/(1^2-(u)^2)^(3/2)`


 In that form, it resembles one of the formulas from the integration table. It follows the integration formula for function with roots:


`int dx/(a^2-x^2)^(3/2)= x/(a^2sqrt(a^2-x^2))+C`


By comparing `a^2 -x^2` and `1^2 -u^2` , we determine the corresponding values as: `a=1 ` and `x=u` . Applying the integration formula, we get:


`int (du)/(1^2-u^2)^(3/2) =u/(1^2sqrt(1^2-u^2))+C`


                      `=u/(1sqrt(1-u^2))+C`


                      `=u/sqrt(1-u^2)+C`


Plug-in `u =e^x` on  `u/sqrt(1-u^2)+C` , we get the indefinite integral as:


`int (e^x)/(1-e^(2x))^(3/2) dx =(e^x)/sqrt(1-(e^x)^2)+C`      or    `(e^x)/sqrt(1-e^(2x))+C`
