Parabola, tangents and superficies

Geometry Level 5

Consider a parabola P P given by ( x , x 2 ) (x, x^2) , with x R x \in \mathbb{R} , and ( a n ) n 0 (a_n)_{n \ge 0} a sequence given by a n = n β a_n = n^\beta , with β > 0 R \beta > 0 \in \mathbb{R} . Consider the superficie S S given by the region at the right side of the vertical axis ( x = 0 x=0 ), below the parabola P P and above the lines tangents to the parabola P P on the points ( a n , a n 2 ) (a_n, a_n^2) .

There is a interval 0 < β < M N 0 < \beta < \dfrac{M}{N} which makes the area of S S be finite. What is the value of M + N M + N ?
