Solution
Given:
y=f(x)
⇒dxdy=f′(x)
(dxdy)(1,f(1))=f′(1)=tan6π=31
⇒f′(1)=31...(i)
(dxdy)(3,f(3))=f′(3)=tan4π=1
⇒f′(3)=1...(ii)
It is given that, 27∫13((f′(t))2+1)f"(t)dt=α+β3
Let, I=∫13((f′(t))2+1)f"(t)dt
Putting, f′(t)=z⇒f"(t)dt=dz
z=f′(3)=1
z=f′(1)=31
⇒I=∫311(z2+1)dz
⇒I=(3z3+z)311
⇒I=(31+1)−(31⋅331+31)
⇒I=34−9310
⇒I=34−27103
⇒α+β3=27(34−27103)
⇒α+β3=36−103
⇒α=36,β=−10
⇒α+β=36−10
⇒α+β=26
