Q. ex+sinxcosx+exdx\int\frac{e^{-x}+\sin x}{\cos x+e^{-x}}\,dx
  1. Simplify and Factorize: Simplify the integrand if possible.\newlineNotice that the numerator and denominator have a common term exe^{-x}. We can factor this term out to simplify the expression.\newlineex+sin(x)cos(x)+ex=ex1+sin(x)exex(cos(x)ex+1)\frac{e^{-x} + \sin(x)}{\cos(x) + e^{-x}} = e^{-x} \cdot \frac{1 + \sin(x) \cdot e^{x}}{e^{-x} \cdot (\cos(x) \cdot e^{x} + 1)}\newlineAfter factoring out exe^{-x}, we get:\newline1+sin(x)excos(x)ex+1\frac{1 + \sin(x) \cdot e^{x}}{\cos(x) \cdot e^{x} + 1}
  2. Recognize Simplified Form: Recognize that the integrand simplifies to a simpler form.\newlineAfter simplification, we see that the exe^{-x} terms cancel out, leaving us with:\newline(1+sin(x)ex)/(cos(x)ex+1)=(1+sin(x)ex)/(excos(x)+1)(1 + \sin(x) \cdot e^{x}) / (\cos(x) \cdot e^{x} + 1) = (1 + \sin(x) \cdot e^{x}) / (e^{x} \cdot \cos(x) + 1)\newlineThis simplifies to:\newline1/(cos(x)+ex)1 / (\cos(x) + e^{-x})
  3. Integrate Simplified Function: Attempt to integrate the simplified function.\newlineThe integral of 1cos(x)+ex\frac{1}{\cos(x) + e^{-x}} with respect to xx is not straightforward and does not correspond to a standard integral form. We need to consider alternative methods such as substitution or partial fractions, but in this case, these methods do not seem to apply. This suggests that the integral may not have a simple closed-form expression.
  4. Identify Simplification Mistake: Realize a mistake in the simplification process.\newlineUpon reviewing the previous steps, we realize that the simplification in Step 22 was incorrect. The terms exe^{x} and exe^{-x} do not cancel out in the way described. This is a math error.
