The slope of the tangent to a curve $C: y=y(x)$ at any point $(x, y)$ on it is $\frac{2 \mathrm{e}^{2 x}-6 \mathrm{e}^{-x}+9}{2+9 \mathrm{e}^{-2 x}}$. If $C$ passes through the points $\left(0, \frac{1}{2}+\frac{\pi}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right)$ and $\left(\alpha, \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{e}^{2 \alpha}\right)$, then $\mathrm{e}^{\alpha}$ is equal to :
Solution
$\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 e^{2 x}-6 e^{-x}+9}{2+9 e^{-2 x}}=e^{2 x}-\frac{6 e^{-x}}{2+9 e^{-2 x}}$
<br/><br/>
$$
\begin{aligned}
&\int d y=\int e^{2 x} d x-3 \int \underbrace{1+\left(\frac{3 e^{-x}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}}_{\text {put } e^{-x}=t} d x \\\\
&=\frac{e^{2 x}}{2}+3 \int \frac{d t}{1+\left(\frac{3 t}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^{2}} \\\\
&=\frac{e^{2 x}}{2}+\sqrt{2} \tan ^{-1} \frac{3 t}{\sqrt{2}}+C
\end{aligned}
$$<br/><br/>
$y=\frac{e^{2 x}}{2}+\sqrt{2} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3 e^{-x}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+C$
<br/><br/>
It is given that the curve passes through
<br/><br/>
$\left(0, \frac{1}{2}+\frac{\pi}{2 \sqrt{2}}\right)$
<br/><br/>
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \frac{1}{2}+\frac{\pi}{2 \sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{2}+\sqrt{2} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+C
\end{aligned}
$$
<br/><br/>
$\Rightarrow \quad C=\frac{\pi}{2 \sqrt{2}}-\sqrt{2} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$
<br/><br/>
Now if $\left(\alpha, \frac{1}{2} e^{2 \alpha}\right)$ satisfies the curve, then
<br/><br/>
$$
\frac{1}{2} e^{2 \alpha}=\frac{e^{2 \alpha}}{2}+\sqrt{2} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3 e^{-\alpha}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)+\frac{\pi}{2 \sqrt{2}}-\sqrt{2} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\right)
$$
<br/><br/>
$\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\right)-\tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{3 e^{-\alpha}}{\sqrt{2}}\right)=\frac{\pi}{2 \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{\pi}{4}$
<br/><br/>
$$
\frac{\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{3 e^{-\alpha}}{\sqrt{2}}}{1+\frac{9}{2} e^{-\alpha}}=1
$$
<br/><br/>
$\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} e^{\alpha}-\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}=e^{\alpha}+\frac{9}{2}$
<br/><br/>
$$
e^{\alpha}=\frac{\frac{9}{2}+\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}-1}=\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}}\left(\frac{3+\sqrt{2}}{3-\sqrt{2}}\right)
$$
