If the set of all solutions of \(|{x}^{2}+x-9|=|x|+|{x}^{2}-9|\)is \([\alpha ,\beta ]\cup [\gamma ,\infty ),\) then \(\left({\alpha }^{2}+{\beta }^{2}+{\gamma }^{2}\right)\) is equal to:
[JEE Main 2026, 4 Apr (Shift 1)]
✓ Correct answer: b)
\(18\)
Explanation
We know if \( |\mathrm{a}|+|\mathrm{b}|=|\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}|\)
Then \( \mathrm{a} \cdot \mathrm{~b} \geq 0 \)
\( \Rightarrow \mathrm{x}\left(\mathrm{x}^2-9\right) \geq 0\)
\( \mathrm{x} \in[-3,0] \cup[3, \infty)\)
\( \alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2=18\)
