The correct answer is: 201864037-3201840372018201940372019

The given function is f(x)=(x-3)2018(x-2)2019, x.

Differentiating w.r.t. x we get, 

f'x=x-32017x-220182018x-2+2019x-3

f'x=x-320174037x-22018x-100934037

Using rate of change of f'x, we can conclude that there is a local maxima at x=100934037.

α=100934037.

Therefore, 2α+3fα=201864037-3201840372018201940372019.
