The correct answer is: 42

α=max82sin3x·44cos3x

=max26sin3x·28cos3x

=max26sin3x+8cos3x

and β=min82sin3x·44cos3x=min26sin3x+8cos3x

Now range of 6sin3x+8cos3x

=-62+82,+62+82=-10,10

α=210 & β=2-10

So, α1/5=22=4

β1/5=2-2=14

The quadratic 8x2+bx+c=0,

sum of roots =-b8 and product of roots =c8

 c-b=8×[ (product of roots)+(sum of roots)]

=8×4×14+4+14=8×214=42
