Step-by-step explanation

Given: 1+y21+logexdx+xdy=0

1+logexxdx=-11+y2dy

1x+logxxdx+dy1+y2=0

logx+(logx)22+tan-1y=C

This curve passes through the point 1,1.

log1+(log1)22+tan-11=C

C=π4

logx+(logx)22+tan-1y=π4

Now, putting x=e

loge+(loge)22+tan-1y=π4

tan-1y=π4-32

y=tanπ4-32

y=tanπ4-tan321+tanπ4tan32

y=1-tan321+tan32

Hence, on comparing we get,

α=β=1

α+2β=3
