\[ \begin{aligned}
& \text { Let } \sqrt{e^x-1}=t \\
& e^x-1=t^2 \\
& e^x=1+t^2 \\
& e^x=0+2 t-\frac{d t}{d x} \\
& \frac{d t}{d x}=\frac{e^x}{2 t}=\frac{t^2+1}{2 t} \\
& I=\int \frac{2 t}{t\left(1+t^2\right)} d t=2 \tan ^{-1} t \\
& \Rightarrow \quad I=\int_\limits\alpha^{\log ^4} \frac{d x}{\sqrt{e^x-1}} \\
& I=\left.2 \tan ^{-1} \sqrt{e^x-1}\right|_\alpha ^{\log 4} \\
& =2\left(\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{3}-\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{e^\alpha-1}\right)=\frac{\pi}{6} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{\pi}{3}-\tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{e^\alpha-1}\right)=\frac{\pi}{12} \\
& \tan ^{-1}\left(\sqrt{e^\alpha-1}\right)=\frac{\pi}{4} \\
& \Rightarrow e^\alpha-1=1 \\
& e^\alpha=2 \Rightarrow e^{-\alpha}=\frac{1}{2}
\end{aligned} \]
\[\therefore \quad\] Quadratic equation whose roots are e a e^a e a \& \[e^{-\alpha}\] is
\[ x 2 − ( e α + e − α ) x + e α × e − α = 0 x 2 − ( 2 + 1 2 ) x + 1 = 0 2 x 2 − 5 x + 2 = 0 \begin{aligned}
& x^2-\left(e^\alpha+e^{-\alpha}\right) x+e^\alpha \times e^{-\alpha}=0 \\
& x^2-\left(2+\frac{1}{2}\right) x+1=0 \\
& 2 x^2-5 x+2=0
\end{aligned} x 2 − ( e α + e − α ) x + e α × e − α = 0 x 2 − ( 2 + 2 1 ) x + 1 = 0 2 x 2 − 5 x + 2 = 0 \] Answer the question to unlock
