2

Solution :

The correct answer is 2.

Let us solve the problem step-by-step.

Step 1: Determine the symmetry (parity) of the function f(x)
We are given the function defined as:
f(x)=0xg(t)ln(1-t1+t)dt
where g(t) is an odd continuous function. This means g(-t)=-g(t).
Let us evaluate f(-x) using the substitution t=-y, so that dt=-dy:
f(-x)=0-xg(t)ln(1-t1+t)dt
=0xg(-y)ln(1+y1-y)(-dy)
Since g(-y)=-g(y) and ln(1+y1-y)=-ln(1-y1+y), we have:
f(-x)=-0x(-g(y))(-ln(1-y1+y))dy=-0xg(y)ln(1-y1+y)dy=-f(x)
Therefore, f(x) is an odd function.

Step 2: Evaluate the given definite integral
Let the integral be:
I=-π/2π/2(f(x)+x2cosx1+ex)dx
Since the interval of integration [-π/2,π/2] is symmetric, and f(x) is an odd function, its integral over this interval is zero:
-π/2π/2f(x)dx=0
Thus, the integral simplifies to:
I=-π/2π/2x2cosx1+exdx

Step 3: Simplify using the property of definite integrals
Using the property abh(x)dx=abh(a+b-x)dx, where a=-π/2 and b=π/2 (so a+b=0), we get:
I=-π/2π/2(-x)2cos(-x)1+e-xdx=-π/2π/2x2excosx1+exdx
Adding the two representations of I:
2I=-π/2π/2x2cosx(1+ex)1+exdx=-π/2π/2x2cosxdx
Since x2cosx is an even function, we can write:
2I=20π/2x2cosxdxI=0π/2x2cosxdx

Step 4: Integration by parts
Integrating by parts twice:
Let u=x2,dv=cosxdxdu=2xdx,v=sinx:
I=[x2sinx]0π/2-20π/2xsinxdx
=(π2)2(1)-0-2[-xcosx+sinx]0π/2
=π24-2[(-π20+1)-(0+0)]
=π24-2

Step 5: Compare to the given form
We are given that:
I=π2α2-α
Comparing this with our calculated value I=π24-2, we see:
α2=4α=2
which also satisfies α=2 in the second term. Thus, α=2.
