Let a>0 be a root of the equation 2x2+x-2=0. If limx→1a16(1-cos(2+x-2x2))(1-ax)2=α+β17, where α,β∈Z,then α+β is equal to ___. [2024]
(170)
We have, 2x2+x-2=0
Given one root is a. Let another root be b.
Here, a=-1+174, b=-1-174
∴ 2+x-2x2=0 has roots 1a and 1b
Now, limx→1a16(1-cos2(x-1a)(x-1b))a2(x-1a)2
limx→1a16(1-cos2(x-1a)(x-1b))a2(x-1a)2×(x-1b)2(x-1b)2
=limx→1a16·2sin2(x-1a)(x-1b)a2(x-1a)2×(x-1b)2(x-1b)2
=16×2a2(1a-1b)2
=32a2(174)=17×8a2=17×8×16(-1+17)2=153+1717
=α+β17
⇒α=153, β=17
⇒α+β=170
