Question Number 151685 by iloveisrael last updated on 22/Aug/21

  Find maximum value of function    α(x)= (√(2x)) +(√(16−x)) +(√(35+x)) .

$$\:\:{Find}\:{maximum}\:{value}\:{of}\:{function} \\ $$$$\:\:\alpha\left({x}\right)=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}{x}}\:+\sqrt{\mathrm{16}−{x}}\:+\sqrt{\mathrm{35}+{x}}\:. \\ $$

x≥0  x≤16  f′(x)=(1/( (√(2x))))−(1/( 2(√(16−x))))+(1/( 2(√(35+x))))=0  (2/( (√(2x))))+(1/( (√(35+x))))=(1/( (√(16−x))))  (2/( x))+(1/( 35+x))+((2(√2))/( (√(x(35+x)))))=(1/( 16−x))  ((2(√2))/( (√(x(35+x)))))=((x(35+x)−x(16−x)−2(35+x)(16−x))/( (16−x)(x)(35+x)))  ((2(√2))/( (√(x(35+x)))))=((4x^2 +57x−1120)/( (16−x)(x)(35+x)))  8=(((4x^2 +57x−1120)^2 )/( (16−x)^2 (x)(35+x)))  8x^4 +432x^3 +1201x^2 −199360x+1254400=0  ⇒x≈12.6106  f(x)_(max) ≈13.7631

f(x)_(min) =f(0)=4+(√(35))

$${f}\left({x}\right)_{{min}} ={f}\left(\mathrm{0}\right)=\mathrm{4}+\sqrt{\mathrm{35}} \\ $$

I also tried. no useable exact solution possible

$$\mathrm{I}\:\mathrm{also}\:\mathrm{tried}.\:\mathrm{no}\:\mathrm{useable}\:\mathrm{exact}\:\mathrm{solution}\:\mathrm{possible} \\ $$

so it is, sir. i found no exact way.

$${so}\:{it}\:{is},\:{sir}.\:{i}\:{found}\:{no}\:{exact}\:{way}. \\ $$

for minimum value , i got exact value

$${for}\:{minimum}\:{value}\:,\:{i}\:{got}\:{exact}\:{value} \\ $$
