, giving your answers in terms of e.
ans:
![\dfrac{e^2 -5}{8e(e-2)}](https://studentforums.biz/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\dfrac{e^2 -5}{8e(e-2)})
dunno how 2 arrive at da correct ans, i took
![\alpha](https://studentforums.biz/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?\alpha)
as 2 for
![I_2](https://studentforums.biz/cgi-bin/mimetex.cgi?I_2)
but still im not gettin correct value...
