((120)/(∣x−1∣ + ∣x−3∣ + ∣x−5∣))   ⇒   max = ?

120x1+x3+x5max=?

Answered by Frix last updated on 02/May/24

((120)/(f(x))) is max ⇒ f(x) is min  4≤∣x−1∣+∣x−3∣+∣x−5∣  ⇒ Answer is ((120)/4)=30

∣x−3∣=∣3−x∣;∣x−5∣=∣5−x∣; ∣a∣+∣b∣≥∣a+b∣  ∣x−1∣+∣3−x∣≥∣x−1+3−x∣=2...(i)  Similarly, ∣x−1∣+∣5−x∣≥4...(ii)  ∣x−3∣+∣5−x∣≥2...(iii)  (i)+(ii)+(iii)⇒∣x−1∣+∣x−3∣+∣x−5∣≥4  (Equality when x=3)  ⇒((120)/(∣x−1∣+∣x−3∣+∣x−5∣))≤((120)/4)=30.
