Hello,

$u=e^{2x}$ and $du=2u.dx$ .

So $\int \frac{1}{1+e^{2x}}dx=\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{1}{u(u-1)}$

But $\frac{1}{u(u-1)}=\frac{1}{u-1}-\frac{1}{u}$ .

Hence $\frac{1}{2}\int \left(\frac{1}{u-1}-\frac{1}{u}\right)=\frac{1}{2}\left(\ln(u-1)-\ln(u)\right)+C$

Therefore a primitive is $\color{blue}\boxed{x\mapsto \frac{1}{2}\ln\left(\frac{e^{2x}-1}{e^{2x}}\right)}$ or still $\boxed{x\mapsto \frac{1}{2}\ln(2sh(x))}$

$\frac{1}{e^{2x}-1} = \frac{1 - e^{2x} + e^{2x}}{e^{2x} - 1} = \frac{e^{2x}}{e^{2x}-1} - \frac{e^{2x}-1}{e^{2x}-1} = \frac{e^{2x}}{e^{2x}-1} - 1$

integrate the last expression

Yes, why not, it's faster.
