Correct answer: 2

  1. Given equation

e2x−11ex−45e−x+812=0e^{2x} - 11e^x - 45e^{-x} + \frac{81}{2} = 0e2x−11ex−45e−x+281​=0

We need the sum of all roots, and it is given as ln⁡p\ln plnp.


  1. Substitute

Let

y=exy = e^xy=ex

Then

e2x=y2,e−x=1ye^{2x} = y^2, \qquad e^{-x} = \frac{1}{y}e2x=y2,e−x=y1​

So the equation becomes

y2−11y−45(1y)+812=0y^2 - 11y - 45\left(\frac{1}{y}\right) + \frac{81}{2} = 0y2−11y−45(y1​)+281​=0

Multiply throughout by yyy:

y3−11y2+812y−45=0y^3 - 11y^2 + \frac{81}{2}y - 45 = 0y3−11y2+281​y−45=0

Multiply by 222 to remove fraction:

2y3−22y2+81y−90=02y^3 - 22y^2 + 81y - 90 = 02y3−22y2+81y−90=0


  1. Factor the cubic

We test simple rational roots. For y=2y=2y=2:

2(2)3−22(2)2+81(2)−90=16−88+162−90=02(2)^3 - 22(2)^2 + 81(2) - 90 = 16 - 88 + 162 - 90 = 02(2)3−22(2)2+81(2)−90=16−88+162−90=0

So (y−2)(y-2)(y−2) is a factor.

Divide:

2y3−22y2+81y−90=(y−2)(2y2−18y+45)2y^3 - 22y^2 + 81y - 90 = (y-2)(2y^2 - 18y + 45)2y3−22y2+81y−90=(y−2)(2y2−18y+45)

Now factor the quadratic:

2y2−18y+45=02y^2 - 18y + 45 = 02y2−18y+45=0

Discriminant:

D=(−18)2−4(2)(45)=324−360=−36<0D = (-18)^2 - 4(2)(45) = 324 - 360 = -36 < 0D=(−18)2−4(2)(45)=324−360=−36<0

So the quadratic has no real roots.

Since y=ex>0y=e^x>0y=ex>0 and must be real, the only valid real root is

y=2y=2y=2

Thus

ex=2  ⟹  x=ln⁡2e^x = 2 \implies x = \ln 2ex=2⟹x=ln2


  1. Sum of all real roots

There is only one real root, so the sum of all roots is

ln⁡2\ln 2ln2

Given that this equals ln⁡p\ln plnp, we get

ln⁡p=ln⁡2  ⟹  p=2\ln p = \ln 2 \implies p=2lnp=ln2⟹p=2


  1. Comparison with stored answer

The stored correct answer is 454545, but the derived value is 222.

The discrepancy likely arises from incorrectly taking product of roots in yyy or including non-real values of yyy. Since y=exy=e^xy=ex must be a positive real number, only y=2y=2y=2 is admissible.

Hence the correct integer should be 222.
