If α and β(α<β) are the roots of the equation (-2+3)(|x-3|)+(x-6x)+(9-23)=0, x≥0, then βα+αβ is equal to: [2026]
(2)
(x-6x+9)-(2-3)|x-3|-23=0
⇒|x-3|2-(2-3)|x-3|-23=0
⇒|x-3|=2 or |x-3|=-3 (not possible)
⇒x=1 or 5
⇒x=1 or 25
⇒α=1 and β=25
Aliter:
Let x≥9, let x=t⇒t≥3
(3-2)(t-3)+(t-3)2-23=0
Let t-3=u
u2+(3-2)u-23=0
⇒u=2 or u=-3
⇒t-3=2 or t-3=-3
⇒t=5 or t=3-3 (rejected)
⇒x=25
Now let 0<x<9
-(3-2)(t-3)+(t-3)2-23=0
u2-(3-2)u-23=0
⇒u=3 or u=-2
⇒t=3+3 (rejected) or t-3=-2
⇒t=1⇒x=1
α=1, β=25
Now βα+αβ=25+25=10
