Given that α be the remainder when (22)2022+(2022)22 is divided by 3 and β be the remainder when the same is divided by 7.
⇒(22)2022+(2022)22=(21+1)2022+(2022)22.
Here (2022)22 is divisible by 3 as 2022 is divisible by 3.
So on expanding (21+1)2022, we get
⇒(21+1)2022=C02022(21)2022+C12022(21)2021+......+C20222022(1)2022
=3(32021×72022+C12022×32020×72021+......)+1
=3k1+1
In this case the remainder is 1
Hence, α=1
Now, ⇒(22)2022+(2022)22=(21+1)2022+(2023−1)22
Take (2023−1)22
⇒(2023−1)22=C022(2023)22−C122(2023)21+......+C2222(−1)22
=7(C022(7)21(289)22−C122(7)20(289)21+......)+1
=7k2+1
⇒(21+1)2022+(2023−1)22=7k1+1+7k2+1
=7μ+2
⇒β=2.
Hence, α2+β2=12+22=5.
Therefore, the required answer is 5.
