The correct answer is: 32

Given function is fx=cos-1x2-x+1sin-12x-12

For, sin-1x & cos1x to be defined -1x1 and for fx to be defined fx0 and the denominator of any expression can never be zero.

Thus, to define the domain of the given function, we have 

-1x2-x+11, x2-x+10 and sin-12x-12>0

Taking the common values and using the range of sin-1x i.e. for positive values 0<sin-1xπ2, we get

0x2-x+11 and 0<sin-12x-12π2

 x2-x0 and 0<2x-121

 xx-10 and 0<2x-12

 x[0, 1] and 1<2x3

 x0, 1 and 12<x32

Now, taking intersection, we get x12, 1

Given, domain of the function is α, β=12, 1

 α=12, β=1

 α+β=32.
