The value of the integral $$\int_\limits{-\log _{e} 2}^{\log _{e} 2} e^{x}\left(\log _{e}\left(e^{x}+\sqrt{1+e^{2 x}}\right)\right) d x$$ is equal to :

$$\int_\limits{-\log _{e} 2}^{\log _{e} 2} e^{x}\left(\log _{e}\left(e^{x}+\sqrt{1+e^{2 x}}\right)\right) d x$$ <br/><br/>Let $e^x=t \Rightarrow e^x d x=d t$ <br/><br/>When, $x \rightarrow-\log _e 2$, then $t \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}$ <br/><br/>When, $x \rightarrow \log _e 2$, then $t \rightarrow 2$ <br/><br/>$I=\int_\limits{\frac{1}{2}}^2\left[\log _e\left(t+\sqrt{1+t^2}\right)\right] d t$ ...........(i) <br/><br/>On applying integration by part method in Eq. (i), we get <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} & I=\left[t \log _e\left(t+\sqrt{1+t^2}\right)\right]_{1 / 2}^2-\int_{1 / 2}^2 \frac{t}{t+\sqrt{1+t^2}}\left(1+\frac{2 t}{2 \sqrt{1+t^2}}\right) d t \\\\ & =2 \log _e(2+\sqrt{5})-\frac{1}{2} \log _e\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)-\int_{1 / 2}^2 \frac{t}{\sqrt{1+t^2}} d t \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>$$ =\log _e\left(\frac{(2+\sqrt{5})^2}{\left(\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^{1 / 2}}\right)-\frac{1}{2} \int_{1 / 2}^2 \frac{2 t}{\sqrt{1+t^2}} d t $$ .............(ii) <br/><br/>Let $\quad I_1=\int_{1 / 2}^2 \frac{2 t}{\sqrt{1+t^2}} d t$ <br/><br/>Let $1+t^2=w$ <br/><br/>$2 t d t=d w$ <br/><br/>When, $t \rightarrow \frac{1}{2}$, then $w=\frac{5}{4}$ <br/><br/>When, $t \rightarrow 2$, then $w=5$ <br/><br/>$$ \begin{aligned} I_1 & =\int_{5 / 4}^5 \frac{1}{\sqrt{w}} d w \\\\ & =[2 \sqrt{w}]_{5 / 4}^5 \\\\ & =2\left[\sqrt{5}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right]=\sqrt{5} \end{aligned} $$ <br/><br/>On substitute value of $I_1$ in Eq.
