Correct answer
28

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

fx=dx3+4x24-3x2

Put x=1t, dx=-1t2dt

So, fx=-dtt23+4t24-3t2

fx=-t dt3t2+44t2-3

Now let, 4t2-3=λ28t dt=2λ dλ

fx=-λ dλ4·3λ2+34+4·λ

fx=-dλ3λ2+9+16

fx=-dλ3λ2+25

fx=-13dλλ2+253

fx=-13×35tan-13λ5+c

fx=-315tan-134-3x25x+c

Now using, f0=0c=+3π30

Hence, f1=-315tan-135+315×π2

f1=-315tan-135-π2

f1=315π2-tan-135

f1=315cot-135

f1=315tan-153

f1=153tan-153

Now comparing with given value of f1 we get, α=5 & β=3

α2+β2=28
