The most general solution of the  equation sinx + cosx = min_(a∈R) {1, a^2  − 4a + 6}  is
$$\mathrm{The}\:\mathrm{most}\:\mathrm{general}\:\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{of}\:\mathrm{the} \\ $$$$\mathrm{equation}\:\mathrm{sin}{x}\:+\:\mathrm{cos}{x}\:=\:\underset{{a}\in{R}} {\mathrm{min}}\left\{\mathrm{1},\:{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:\mathrm{4}{a}\:+\:\mathrm{6}\right\} \\ $$$$\mathrm{is} \\ $$

a^2 −4a+6=a^2 −2×2×a+2^2 +2=(a−2)^2 +2≥2>1  ⇒ min_(a∈R) {1, a^2  − 4a + 6}=1  ⇒sin x+cos x=1  ⇒(√2)(sin x cos (π/4)+sin (π/4) cos x)=1  ⇒(√2) sin (x+(π/4))=1  ⇒ sin (x+(π/4))=(1/( (√2)))  ⇒x+(π/4)=nπ+(−1)^n (π/4)  ⇒x=nπ+[(−1)^n −1](π/4)
$$\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4a}+\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{a}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}=\left(\mathrm{a}−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}\geqslant\mathrm{2}>\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\underset{{a}\in{R}} {\mathrm{min}}\left\{\mathrm{1},\:{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \:−\:\mathrm{4}{a}\:+\:\mathrm{6}\right\}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\left(\mathrm{sin}\:\mathrm{x}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}+\mathrm{sin}\:\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}\:\mathrm{cos}\:\mathrm{x}\right)=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\mathrm{x}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}\right)=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\mathrm{x}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}+\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}=\mathrm{n}\pi+\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} \frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{x}=\mathrm{n}\pi+\left[\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{\mathrm{n}} −\mathrm{1}\right]\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}} \\ $$
