The correct option is D α2+β=1
f(x)=1+x2x+1
⇒f′(x)=(x+1)2x−(x2+1)(x+1)2
⇒f′(x)=x2+2x−1(x+1)2
From f′(x)=0
⇒x2+2x−1=0
⇒(x+1)2−2=0
⇒[x−(√2−1)][x−(−√2−1)]=0
⇒x=√2−1,−√2−1
But given that x≥0
Now check function value at x=1,√2−1 and when x→∞
f(0)=1
f(√2−1)=3−2√2+1√2=2√2−2
and limx→∞f(x) also tends to ∞
Hence, least value of f(x) is at √2−1 and least value is 2√2−2
∴α=√2−1=α2=3−2√2
and β=2√2−2=2(√2−1)=2α
∴β=2α
∴α2+β=3−2√2+2√2−2=1
Hence, α2+β=1
