Let r1{r}_{1}r1​ and r2{r}_{2}r2​ be the radii of the largest and smallest circles, respectively, which pass through the point (−4,1)(-4,1)(−4,1) and having their centres on the circumference of the circle x2+y2+2x+4y−4=0{x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+2x+4y-4=0x2+y2+2x+4y−4=0. If r1r2=a+b2,\frac{{r}_{1}}{{r}_{2}}=a+b\sqrt{2},r2​r1​​=a+b2​, then a+ba+ba+b is equal to:
