Let a,b,ca,b,ca,b,c be in arithmetic progression. Let the centroid of the triangle with vertices (a,c),(2,b)(a,c),(2,b)(a,c),(2,b) and (a,b)(a,b)(a,b) be (103,73).(\frac{10}{3},\frac{7}{3}).(310​,37​). If α,β\alpha ,\betaα,β are the roots of the equation ax2+bx+1=0,a{x}^{2}+bx+1=0,ax2+bx+1=0, then the value of α2+β2−αβ{\alpha }^{2}+{\beta }^{2}-\alpha \betaα2+β2−αβ is:
