Correct answer
2

Step-by-step explanation

Given: fx=0xgtlog1-t1+tdt

f-x=0-xgtlog1-t1+tdt

f-x=-0xg-ylog1+y1-ydy

=-0xg(y)ln1-y1+ydy (g is odd)

f(-x)=-f(x)f is also odd.

Now,

I=-π2π2f(x)+x2cosx1+exdx   ...i

I=-π2π2f(-x)+x2excosx1+exdx   ...ii

2I=-π2π2x2cosxdx

2I=20π2x2cosxdx

I=0π2x2cosxdx

I=x2sinx0π2-0π22xsinxdx

I=π24-2-xcosx+sinx0π2

I=π24-2(0+1)

I=π24-2

I=π22-2

α=2
