Algebra Level 4

If a a , b b , and c c are three positive real numbers then the minimum value of

a + 3 c a + 2 b + c + 4 b a + b + 2 c 8 c a + b + 3 c \large\ \frac { a + 3c }{ a + 2b + c } + \frac { 4b }{ a + b + 2c } - \frac { 8c }{ a + b + 3c } .

is α + β 2 \alpha + \beta \sqrt { 2 } , where α , β Z \alpha ,\beta \in \mathbb Z . Find the value of α + β | \alpha + \beta| .

Notation: |\cdot | denotes the absolute value function .
