16

Step-by-step explanation

Given, 

Fx=e-x3x3t2+2t+4F'tdt.

So, F3=e-3333t2+2t+4F'tdt. 

F3=0

Again, exFx=3x3t2+2t+4 F'tdt

Differentiate both sides

exFx+exF'x=3x2+2x+4 F'x (Newton Leibnitz Theorem for Definite Integral)

ex-4dydx+exy=3x2+2x (Use y=Fx)

dydx+exex-4y=3x2+2xex-4

Here, integrating factor is eexex-4dx=elnex-4=ex-4

So, the solution is 

y·ex-4=3x2+2xdx+c

y·ex-4=x3+x2+c

Put x=3, y=0c=-36

So, Fx=x3+x2-36ex-4

F'x=3x2+2xex-4-x3+x2-36exex-42

Now put value of x=4 we will get

F'4=342+24e4-4-43+42-36e4e4-42=12e4-224e4-42

So, α=12 & β=4

Hence, α+β=16
