Let \mathrm{a}>0 be a root of the equation 2x2+x−2=02 x^2+x-2=0 . If limx→1a16(1−cos⁡(2+x−2x2))(1−ax)2=α+β17, where α,β∈Z\alpha, \beta \in Z , then α+β\alpha+\beta is equal to _________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∵2x2+x−2=0\because 2 x^2+x-2=0 has two roots where a=17−14a=\frac{\sqrt{17}-1}{4} and another root is −17−14\frac{-\sqrt{17}-1}{4}

And 2+x−2x2=−2(x−1a)(x+417+1)2+x-2 x^2=-2\left(x-\frac{1}{a}\right)\left(x+\frac{4}{\sqrt{17}+1}\right)

Now limx→1a16(1−cos⁡(2+x−2x2))(1−ax)2
