$\int \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}}=2 \tan ^{-1}(\mathrm{f}(x))+\mathrm{c}$ where $x\gt0$ and c is a constant of integration, then $\mathrm{f}(x)$ is
$\mathrm{e}^x-1$ $\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}$ $\mathrm{e}^x+1$ $\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x+1}$
Solution
Let $I=\int \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}}$
Let $\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}=\mathrm{t}$
$\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & \mathrm{e}^x-1=\mathrm{t}^2 \\
\therefore & \mathrm{e}^x=\mathrm{t}^2+1 \\
\therefore & \mathrm{e}^x \mathrm{~d} x=2 \mathrm{t} \mathrm{dt} \\
\therefore & \mathrm{~d} x=\frac{2 \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{e}^x} \mathrm{dt}=\frac{2 \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{t}^2+1} \mathrm{dt} \\
\begin{aligned}
\therefore & \mathrm{I}
\end{aligned}=\int \frac{1}{\mathrm{t}} \times \frac{2 \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{t}^2+1} \mathrm{dt} \\
& =2 \int \frac{1}{\mathrm{t}^2+1} \mathrm{dt} \\
& =2 \tan ^{-1}(\mathrm{t})+\mathrm{c} \\
& =2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}\right)+\mathrm{c} \\
\therefore & \mathrm{f}(x)=\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}
\end{array}$
