Condition for differentiability at a point of a split rational irrational function

Let f:R→Rf:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R be defined by

f(x)={x2,if x∈Q, αx+β,if x∈R−Q,f(x)=\begin{cases}x^2, & \text{if }x\in\mathbb Q,\ \alpha x+\beta, & \text{if }x\in\mathbb R-\mathbb Q,\end{cases}

where α\alpha and β\beta are real constants. If ff is differentiable at x=1x=1 then the value of 3α+β3\alpha+\beta is equal to ____________
