Given function

Let $f(x)=\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}, \qquad 0\le x\le 2.$

We need $\alpha=\max_{[0,2]} f(x), \qquad \beta=\min_{[0,2]} f(x).$

Find maximum and minimum of $f(x)$ on $[0,2]$

Differentiate: $f(x)=\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}$

Using quotient rule, $f'(x)=\frac{(-2x)(5-x)-(9-x^2)(-1)}{(5-x)^2}$ $=\frac{-10x+2x^2+9-x^2}{(5-x)^2}$ $=\frac{x^2-10x+9}{(5-x)^2}$ $=\frac{(x-1)(x-9)}{(5-x)^2}.$

Since $(5-x)^2>0$ on $[0,2]$ , sign of $f'(x)$ depends on $(x-1)(x-9)$ .

On $[0,1)$ , $f'(x)>0$ ; on $(1,2]$ , $f'(x)<0$ . So $f$ increases till $x=1$ and decreases after that.

Hence maximum occurs at $x=1$ : $\alpha=f(1)=\frac{9-1}{5-1}=\frac84=2.$

Minimum occurs at an endpoint. Check: $f(0)=\frac95, \qquad f(2)=\frac{9-4}{5-2}=\frac53.$ Thus $\beta=\frac53.$

Limits of integration

We are given $\int_{\beta-\frac83}^{2\alpha-1} \max\left\{\frac{9-x^2}{5-x},x\right\}\,dx.$

Substitute $\alpha=2$ , $\beta=\frac53$ : $\beta-\frac83=\frac53-\frac83=-1,$ $2\alpha-1=4-1=3.$

So integral becomes $I=\int_{-1}^{3} \max\{f(x),x\}\,dx.$

Find where $f(x)=x$

Solve $\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}=x.$ Then $9-x^2=5x-x^2 \implies 9=5x \implies x=\frac95.$

Now compare $f(x)$ and $x$ : $f(x)-x=\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}-x=\frac{9-5x}{5-x}.$

For $x<5$ , denominator is positive, so sign depends on $9-5x$ . Thus

if $x<\frac95$ , then $f(x)>x$ ,
if $x>\frac95$ , then $f(x)<x$ .

Since interval is $[-1,3] \subset (-\infty,5)$ ,

f(x), & -1\le x\le \frac95,\\[4pt] x, & \frac95\le x\le 3. \end{cases}$$ Therefore $$I=\int_{-1}^{9/5} \frac{9-x^2}{5-x}\,dx+\int_{9/5}^{3} x\,dx.$$ --- 5. **Integrate $\dfrac{9-x^2}{5-x}$** Rewrite it by division: $$\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}=x+5-\frac{16}{x-5}.$$ (Equivalent form: $-x-5+\frac{16}{5-x}$ also works.) So $$\int \frac{9-x^2}{5-x}\,dx=\int \left(x+5-\frac{16}{x-5}\right)dx$$ $$=\frac{x^2}{2}+5x-16\ln|x-5|.$$ Hence $$I_1=\int_{-1}^{9/5} \frac{9-x^2}{5-x}\,dx$$ $$=\left[\frac{x^2}{2}+5x-16\ln|x-5|\right]_{-1}^{9/5}.$$ At $x=\frac95$: $$\frac{x^2}{2}=\frac{81}{50}, \qquad 5x=9, \qquad |x-5|=\frac{16}{5}.$$ So value is $$\frac{81}{50}+9-16\ln\left(\frac{16}{5}\right).$$ At $x=-1$: $$\frac{x^2}{2}=\frac12, \qquad 5x=-5, \qquad |x-5|=6.$$ So value is $$\frac12-5-16\ln 6=-\frac92-16\ln 6.$$ Therefore $$I_1=\left(\frac{81}{50}+9-16\ln\frac{16}{5}\right)-\left(-\frac92-16\ln 6\right)$$ $$=\frac{81}{50}+\frac{27}{2}+16\ln 6-16\ln\frac{16}{5}$$ $$=\frac{81}{50}+\frac{675}{50}+16\ln\left(\frac{6}{16/5}\right)$$ $$=\frac{756}{50}+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right)$$ $$=\frac{378}{25}+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right).$$ --- 6. **Compute second integral** $$I_2=\int_{9/5}^{3} x\,dx=\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_{9/5}^{3}$$ $$=\frac92-\frac{81}{50}$$ $$=\frac{225-81}{50}=\frac{144}{50}=\frac{72}{25}.$$ --- 7. **Add both parts** $$I=I_1+I_2$$ $$=\frac{378}{25}+\frac{72}{25}+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right)$$ $$=\frac{450}{25}+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right)$$ $$=18+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right).$$ Given form is $$I=\alpha_1+\alpha_2\log_e\left(\frac{8}{15}\right).$$ Since $$\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right)=-\ln\left(\frac{8}{15}\right),$$ we get $$I=18-16\ln\left(\frac{8}{15}\right).$$ Thus $$\alpha_1=18, \qquad \alpha_2=-16.$$ Therefore $$\alpha_1+\alpha_2=18-16=2.$$ --- 8. **Comparison with stored answer** Derived answer is $$\boxed{2}.$$ The stored correct answer is $34$, which does not match.

Given function

Let $f(x)=\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}, \qquad 0\le x\le 2.$

We need $\alpha=\max_{[0,2]} f(x), \qquad \beta=\min_{[0,2]} f(x).$

Find maximum and minimum of $f(x)$ on $[0,2]$

Differentiate: $f(x)=\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}$

Using quotient rule, $f'(x)=\frac{(-2x)(5-x)-(9-x^2)(-1)}{(5-x)^2}$ $=\frac{-10x+2x^2+9-x^2}{(5-x)^2}$ $=\frac{x^2-10x+9}{(5-x)^2}$ $=\frac{(x-1)(x-9)}{(5-x)^2}.$

Since $(5-x)^2>0$ on $[0,2]$ , sign of $f'(x)$ depends on $(x-1)(x-9)$ .

On $[0,1)$ , $f'(x)>0$ ; on $(1,2]$ , $f'(x)<0$ . So $f$ increases till $x=1$ and decreases after that.

Hence maximum occurs at $x=1$ : $\alpha=f(1)=\frac{9-1}{5-1}=\frac84=2.$

Minimum occurs at an endpoint. Check: $f(0)=\frac95, \qquad f(2)=\frac{9-4}{5-2}=\frac53.$ Thus $\beta=\frac53.$

Limits of integration

We are given $\int_{\beta-\frac83}^{2\alpha-1} \max\left\{\frac{9-x^2}{5-x},x\right\}\,dx.$

Substitute $\alpha=2$ , $\beta=\frac53$ : $\beta-\frac83=\frac53-\frac83=-1,$ $2\alpha-1=4-1=3.$

So integral becomes $I=\int_{-1}^{3} \max\{f(x),x\}\,dx.$

Find where $f(x)=x$

Solve $\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}=x.$ Then $9-x^2=5x-x^2 \implies 9=5x \implies x=\frac95.$

Now compare $f(x)$ and $x$ : $f(x)-x=\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}-x=\frac{9-5x}{5-x}.$

For $x<5$ , denominator is positive, so sign depends on $9-5x$ . Thus

f(x), & -1\le x\le \frac95,\\[4pt] x, & \frac95\le x\le 3. \end{cases}$$ Therefore $$I=\int_{-1}^{9/5} \frac{9-x^2}{5-x}\,dx+\int_{9/5}^{3} x\,dx.$$ --- 5. **Integrate $\dfrac{9-x^2}{5-x}$** Rewrite it by division: $$\frac{9-x^2}{5-x}=x+5-\frac{16}{x-5}.$$ (Equivalent form: $-x-5+\frac{16}{5-x}$ also works.) So $$\int \frac{9-x^2}{5-x}\,dx=\int \left(x+5-\frac{16}{x-5}\right)dx$$ $$=\frac{x^2}{2}+5x-16\ln|x-5|.$$ Hence $$I_1=\int_{-1}^{9/5} \frac{9-x^2}{5-x}\,dx$$ $$=\left[\frac{x^2}{2}+5x-16\ln|x-5|\right]_{-1}^{9/5}.$$ At $x=\frac95$: $$\frac{x^2}{2}=\frac{81}{50}, \qquad 5x=9, \qquad |x-5|=\frac{16}{5}.$$ So value is $$\frac{81}{50}+9-16\ln\left(\frac{16}{5}\right).$$ At $x=-1$: $$\frac{x^2}{2}=\frac12, \qquad 5x=-5, \qquad |x-5|=6.$$ So value is $$\frac12-5-16\ln 6=-\frac92-16\ln 6.$$ Therefore $$I_1=\left(\frac{81}{50}+9-16\ln\frac{16}{5}\right)-\left(-\frac92-16\ln 6\right)$$ $$=\frac{81}{50}+\frac{27}{2}+16\ln 6-16\ln\frac{16}{5}$$ $$=\frac{81}{50}+\frac{675}{50}+16\ln\left(\frac{6}{16/5}\right)$$ $$=\frac{756}{50}+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right)$$ $$=\frac{378}{25}+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right).$$ --- 6. **Compute second integral** $$I_2=\int_{9/5}^{3} x\,dx=\left[\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_{9/5}^{3}$$ $$=\frac92-\frac{81}{50}$$ $$=\frac{225-81}{50}=\frac{144}{50}=\frac{72}{25}.$$ --- 7. **Add both parts** $$I=I_1+I_2$$ $$=\frac{378}{25}+\frac{72}{25}+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right)$$ $$=\frac{450}{25}+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right)$$ $$=18+16\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right).$$ Given form is $$I=\alpha_1+\alpha_2\log_e\left(\frac{8}{15}\right).$$ Since $$\ln\left(\frac{15}{8}\right)=-\ln\left(\frac{8}{15}\right),$$ we get $$I=18-16\ln\left(\frac{8}{15}\right).$$ Thus $$\alpha_1=18, \qquad \alpha_2=-16.$$ Therefore $$\alpha_1+\alpha_2=18-16=2.$$ --- 8. **Comparison with stored answer** Derived answer is $$\boxed{2}.$$ The stored correct answer is $34$, which does not match.
