Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Given,

∫1e(log⁡ex)1/2x(a−(log⁡ex)3/2)2=1\int_1^e {{{{{\left( {\log _e^x} \right)}^{1/2}}} \over {x{{\left( {a - {{\left( {\log _e^x} \right)}^{3/2}}} \right)}^2}}} = 1}

Let log⁡ex=t\log _e^x = t

⇒x=et\Rightarrow x = {e^t}

⇒dx=etdt\Rightarrow dx = {e^t}dt

When x=1x = 1 then t=log⁡e1=0t = \log _e^1 = 0

and when x=ex = e then t=log⁡ee=1t = \log _e^e = 1

⇒∫01t . etdtet(a−tt)2=1\Rightarrow \int_0^1 {{{\sqrt t \,.\,{e^t}dt} \over {{e^t}{{(a - t\sqrt t )}^2}}} = 1}

⇒∫01t dt(a−tt)2=1\Rightarrow \int_0^1 {{{\sqrt t \,dt} \over {{{(a - t\sqrt t )}^2}}} = 1}

Let t1/2=z{t^{1/2}} = z

⇒12tdt=dz\Rightarrow {1 \over {2\sqrt t }}dt = dz

⇒dt=2t dz⇒dt=2z dz\Rightarrow dt = 2\sqrt t \,dz \Rightarrow dt = 2z\,dz

When t=0t = 0 , then z=0z = 0

When t=1t = 1 , then z=11/2=1z = {1^{1/2}} = 1

∴\therefore ∫01z×2z dz(a−z3)2=1\int_0^1 {{{z \times 2z\,dz} \over {{{(a - {z^3})}^2}}} = 1}

⇒∫012z2 dz(a−z3)2=1\Rightarrow \int_0^1 {{{2{z^2}\,dz} \over {{{(a - {z^3})}^2}}} = 1}

Now let a−z3=pa - {z^3} = p

⇒−3z2 dz=dp\Rightarrow - 3{z^2}\,dz = dp

When z=0z = 0 then p=a−0=ap = a - 0 = a

When z=1z = 1 then p=a−13=a−1p = a - {1^3} = a - 1

∴\therefore ∫aa−12 . (−dp3)p2=1\int_a^{a - 1} {{{2\,.\,\left( { - {{dp} \over 3}} \right)} \over {{p^2}}} = 1}

⇒−23∫aa−1dpp2=1\Rightarrow - {2 \over 3}\int_a^{a - 1} {{{dp} \over {{p^2}}} = 1}

⇒−23[−1p]aa−1=1\Rightarrow - {2 \over 3}\left[ { - {1 \over p}} \right]_a^{a - 1} = 1

⇒−23[−1a−1+1a]=1\Rightarrow - {2 \over 3}\left[ { - {1 \over {a - 1}} + {1 \over a}} \right] = 1

⇒−23[−a+a−1a(a−1)]=1\Rightarrow - {2 \over 3}\left[ {{{ - a + a - 1} \over {a(a - 1)}}} \right] = 1

⇒23(1a(a−1))=1\Rightarrow {2 \over 3}\left( {{1 \over {a(a - 1)}}} \right) = 1

⇒3a2−3a=2\Rightarrow 3{a^2} - 3a = 2

⇒3a2−3a−2=0\Rightarrow 3{a^2} - 3a - 2 = 0

⇒a=3 ± 9−4(3)(−2)2 . 3\Rightarrow a = {{3\, \pm \,\sqrt {9 - 4(3)( - 2)} } \over {2\,.\,3}}

∴\therefore a=3 ± 336, 3−336a = {{3\, \pm \,\sqrt {33} } \over 6},\,{{3 - \sqrt {33} } \over 6}
