$\int \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}}=2 \tan ^{-1}(\mathrm{f}(x))+\mathrm{c}$ where $x\gt0$ and c is a constant of integration, then $\mathrm{f}(x)$ is
  1. $\mathrm{e}^x-1$
  2. $\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}$
  3. $\mathrm{e}^x+1$
  4. $\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x+1}$

Solution

Let $I=\int \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}}$ Let $\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}=\mathrm{t}$ $\begin{array}{ll} \therefore & \mathrm{e}^x-1=\mathrm{t}^2 \\ \therefore & \mathrm{e}^x=\mathrm{t}^2+1 \\ \therefore & \mathrm{e}^x \mathrm{~d} x=2 \mathrm{t} \mathrm{dt} \\ \therefore & \mathrm{~d} x=\frac{2 \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{e}^x} \mathrm{dt}=\frac{2 \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{t}^2+1} \mathrm{dt} \\ \begin{aligned} \therefore & \mathrm{I} \end{aligned}=\int \frac{1}{\mathrm{t}} \times \frac{2 \mathrm{t}}{\mathrm{t}^2+1} \mathrm{dt} \\ & =2 \int \frac{1}{\mathrm{t}^2+1} \mathrm{dt} \\ & =2 \tan ^{-1}(\mathrm{t})+\mathrm{c} \\ & =2 \tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1}\right)+\mathrm{c} \\ \therefore & \mathrm{f}(x)=\sqrt{\mathrm{e}^x-1} \end{array}$ $\ldots[$ from (i)]
