 The total number of distinct values of x[0,1] for which 0xt21+t4dt=2x-1 is 

Difficult
Solution

Letfx=0xt21+t4dt2x+1

Clearly  f0=1,    f1=01t21+t4dt1

Now     t2+1t22t2t4+112

f(1)<0

Also   f1x=x21+x42

=1x2+1x22

Since  x2+1x22

f1(x)<0

fisStrictly decreasing and  f(0)>0,      f(1)<0

Exactly  one  root  for  f(x)  in(0,1).
