Application Of Integration

Let the function $f:[1, \infty) \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be defined by

$$ f(t)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} (-1)^{n+1} 2, & \text { if } t=2 n-1, n \in \mathbb{N}, \\ \frac{(2 n+1-t)}{2} f(2 n-1)+\frac{(t-(2 n-1))}{2} f(2 n+1), & \text { if } 2 n-1 < t < 2 n+1, n \in \mathbb{N} . \end{array}\right. $$

Define $g(x)=\int_1^x f(t) d t, x \in(1, \infty)$. Let $\alpha$ denote the number of solutions of the equation $g(x)=0$ in the interval $(1,8]$ and $\beta=\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow l+} \frac{g(x)}{x-1}$.

Then the value of $\alpha+\beta$ is equal to _______.
