Put t=ext=e^x, complete the square as t2+4t+13=(t+2)2+32t^2+4t+13=(t+2)^2+3^2, use ∫dtt2+a2=log⁡∣t+t2+a2∣\int\frac{dt}{\sqrt{t^2+a^2}}=\log|t+\sqrt{t^2+a^2}|, then substitute back.

Substitution. Let t=ext=e^x, so dt=ex dxdt=e^x\,dx. The integral becomes

∫ex dxe2x+4ex+13=∫dtt2+4t+13\displaystyle\int \dfrac{e^x\,dx}{\sqrt{e^{2x}+4e^x+13}}=\int\dfrac{dt}{\sqrt{t^2+4t+13}}.

Complete the square in the denominator:

t2+4t+13=(t2+4t+4)+9=(t+2)2+32t^2+4t+13=(t^2+4t+4)+9=(t+2)^2+3^2.

So the integral is ∫dt(t+2)2+32\displaystyle\int\dfrac{dt}{\sqrt{(t+2)^2+3^2}}.

Standard form. Using ∫duu2+a2=log⁡∣u+u2+a2∣+c\displaystyle\int\dfrac{du}{\sqrt{u^2+a^2}}=\log\left|u+\sqrt{u^2+a^2}\right|+c with u=t+2u=t+2 and a=3a=3:
