The total number of distinct values of x∈[0,1] for which ∫0xt21+t4dt=2x-1 is
Let fx=∫0xt21+t4dt −2x+1
Clearly f0=1, f1=∫01t21+t4dt−1
Now t2+1t2≥2⇒t2t4+1≤12
∴ f(1)<0
Also f1x=x21+x4−2
=1x2+1x2−2
Since x2+1x2≥2
⇒f1(x)<0
∴ f is Strictly decreasing and f(0)>0, f(1)<0
∴ Exactly one root for f(x) in (0,1).
