A water tank has the shape of a right circular cone with axis vertical and vertex downwards. Its semi-vertical angle is $$\tan ^{-1} \frac{3}{4}$$. Water is poured in it at a constant rate of 6 cubic meter per hour. The rate (in square meter per hour), at which the wet curved surface area of the tank is increasing, when the depth of water in the tank is 4 meters, is ______________.

Let $$M$$ and $$N$$ be the number of points on the curve $$y^{5}-9 x y+2 x=0$$, where the tangents to the curve are parallel to $$x$$-axis and $$y$$-axis, respectively. Then the value of $$M+N$$ equals ___________.

Let the function $$f(x)=2 x^{2}-\log _{\mathrm{e}} x, x>0$$, be decreasing in $$(0, \mathrm{a})$$ and increasing in $$(\mathrm{a}, 4)$$. A tangent to the parabola $$y^{2}=4 a x$$ at a point $$\mathrm{P}$$ on it passes through the point $$(8 \mathrm{a}, 8 \mathrm{a}-1)$$ but does not pass through the point $$\left(-\frac{1}{a}, 0\right)$$. If the equation of the normal at $$P$$ is : $$\frac{x}{\alpha}+\frac{y}{\beta}=1$$, then $$\alpha+\beta$$ is equal to ________________.

The sum of the maximum and minimum values of the function $$f(x)=|5 x-7|+\left[x^{2}+2 x\right]$$ in the interval $$\left[\frac{5}{4}, 2\right]$$, where $$[t]$$ is the greatest integer $$\leq t$$, is ______________.
