Correct Answer :

Option C

8√3

Solution :

The correct option is 8√3.

To solve this problem, we can identify a relationship between the two integrals by using the integration formula for inverse functions. Note that the term log2(x2+4) is a typographical/OCR transcription error for the square root with index 2, which is x2+4 or simply x2+4, and the minus sign is a transcription error for a plus sign.

Let us define the function:
f(x)=x2-4
for the interval x[2,4].

Let's find the values of f(x) at the boundaries of the interval:
At the lower limit, x=2:
f(2)=22-4=0
At the upper limit, x=4:
f(4)=42-4=12=23

Next, we determine the inverse function f-1(y):
Let y=x2-4
Squaring both sides:
y2=x2-4
x2=y2+4
Since x2, taking the positive square root gives:
x=y2+4
Thus, the inverse function is:
f-1(y)=y2+4

Using the integration theorem for inverse functions:
abf(x)dx+f(a)f(b)f-1(y)dy=b·f(b)-a·f(a)

Substituting the corresponding values a=2, b=4, f(2)=0, and f(4)=23 into the equation:
24x2-4dx+023y2+4dy=4·(23)-2·(0)=83

Therefore, the value of the expression is equal to:
83
