Write x=elnx, so the integrand becomes [e2(xlnx−x)+e−2(xlnx−x)]lnx. Let t=xlnx−x, dt=lnxdx:
\[\int\left(e^{2t}+e^{-2t}\right)dt = \frac{e^{2t}}2-\frac{e^{-2t}}2+C = \frac12\frac{x^{2x}}{e^{2x}}-\frac12\frac{e^{2x}}{x^{2x}}+C\]
Matching the stated form gives α=β=γ=δ=2, so
\[\alpha+2\beta+3\gamma-4\delta = 2+4+6-8 = 4\]
