The area enclosed by the curves $$y = \log_e(x+e^2)$$, $$x = \log_e\left(\frac{2}{y}\right)$$, above the line $$x = \log_e 2$$ and $$y = 1$$ is
Given curves are
$$y=\log(x+e^2)$$
and
$$x=\log\left(\frac2y\right)$$
From the second curve,
$$e^x=\frac2y$$
$$y=2e^{-x}$$
Now find the intersection points of the curves.
Substituting
$$y=2e^{-x}$$
in
$$y=\log(x+e^2),$$
we check the given boundary lines.
At
$$x=\log2,$$
from
$$x=\log\left(\frac2y\right),$$
$$\log2=\log\left(\frac2y\right)$$
$$2=\frac2y$$
$$y=1$$
Thus, one corner point is
$$\left(\log2,1\right)$$
Now on the line
$$y=1,$$
from
$$y=\log(x+e^2),$$
$$1=\log(x+e^2)$$
$$x+e^2=e$$
$$x=e-e^2$$
So the bounded region is enclosed between:
- upper curve: $$y=\log(x+e^2)$$
- lower curve: $$y=1$$
- left boundary: $$x=\log2$$
- right curve: $$x=\log\left(\frac2y\right)$$
Now express the first curve as $$x$$ in terms of $$y$$.
From
$$y=\log(x+e^2),$$
$$x=e^y-e^2$$
Thus area using horizontal strips is
$$A=\int_{1}^{2e^{-\log2}}
\left[\log\left(\frac2y\right)-(e^y-e^2)\right]dy$$
Since
$$2e^{-\log2}=1,$$
the upper limit comes from intersection with $$x=\log2$$.
Now the top value of $$y$$ occurs where the two curves intersect.
Putting
$$x=\log\left(\frac2y\right)$$
in
$$y=\log(x+e^2),$$
we observe that
$$y=2$$
satisfies the equation because
$$x=\log1=0$$
and
$$\log(0+e^2)=2$$
Hence limits are from $$y=1$$ to $$y=2$$.
Therefore,
$$A=\int_{1}^{2}\left[\log\left(\frac2y\right)-e^y+e^2\right]dy$$
Now,
$$\log\left(\frac2y\right)=\log2-\log y$$
Hence,
$$A=\int_1^2(\log2-\log y-e^y+e^2)\,dy$$
Using
$$\int\log y\,dy=y\log y-y,$$
we get
$$A=\left[y\log2-(y\log y-y)-e^y+e^2y\right]_1^2$$
$$=\left[2\log2-2\log2+2-e^2+2e^2\right]-\left[\log2+1-e+e^2\right]$$
$$=2+e^2-\log2-1+e-e^2$$
$$=1+e-\log2$$
Hence, the required area is
$$\boxed{1+e-\log2}$$.
