Question:

Let \( \alpha, \beta \) be the roots of the equation \( x^2 - \sqrt{6}x + 3 = 0 \) such that \( \operatorname{Im}(\alpha) > \operatorname{Im}(\beta) \). Let \( a, b \) be integers not divisible by 3 and \( n \) be a natural number such that\[\frac{\alpha^{99}}{\beta} + \alpha^{98} = 3^n (a + ib), i = \sqrt{-1}.\]Then \( n + a + b \) is equal to ______.
