Solution

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+2x1(x+1)2
From f(x)=0
x2+2x1=0
(x+1)22=0
[x(21)][x(21)]=0
x=21,21
But given that x0
Now check function value at x=1,21 and when x
f(0)=1
f(21)=322+12=222
and limxf(x) also tends to
Hence, least value of f(x) is at 21 and least value is 222
α=21=α2=322
and β=222=2(21)=2α
β=2α

α2+β=322+222=1
Hence, α2+β=1
