f(x)=(1/(1−(√x))) + (1/(1−(√(1−x))))  f(x)_(min) = ?

$${f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\sqrt{{x}}}\:+\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\sqrt{\mathrm{1}−\boldsymbol{{x}}}} \\ $$$$\boldsymbol{{f}}\left(\boldsymbol{{x}}\right)_{\boldsymbol{{min}}} =\:? \\ $$

0<x<1  let x=sin^2  (45°+θ) with −45°<θ<45°  f(x)=(1/(1−sin (45°+θ)))+(1/(1−cos (45°+θ)))            =(1/(1−sin (45°+θ)))+(1/(1−sin (45°−θ)))  f(x)_(min) =2×(1/(1−(1/( (√2)))))=2(2+(√2))  at θ=0° or x=(1/2)

$$\mathrm{0}<{x}<\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${let}\:{x}=\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\left(\mathrm{45}°+\theta\right)\:{with}\:−\mathrm{45}°<\theta<\mathrm{45}° \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\mathrm{45}°+\theta\right)}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{cos}\:\left(\mathrm{45}°+\theta\right)} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\mathrm{45}°+\theta\right)}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{sin}\:\left(\mathrm{45}°−\theta\right)} \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)_{{min}} =\mathrm{2}×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}−\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}}}=\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{2}+\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$${at}\:\theta=\mathrm{0}°\:{or}\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
