Question Number 77810 by jagoll last updated on 10/Jan/20

what is minimum value  of function f(x)=  (√(x^2 +4)) +(√(x^2 −24x+153))

$${what}\:{is}\:{minimum}\:{value} \\ $$$${of}\:{function}\:{f}\left({x}\right)= \\ $$$$\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}}\:+\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{24}{x}+\mathrm{153}} \\ $$

(√(x^2 +4))≥2, the minimum is at x=0 ⇒  ⇒ (√(x^2 +4)) is strictly increasing for x≠0  x^2 −24x+1=0 ⇔ x=12±(√(143)) ⇒  ⇒ (√(x^2 −24x+1)) is not defined for  12−(√(143))<x<12+(√(143)), especially not definef  for x=0 ⇒ the minimum of (√(x^2 +4))+(√(x^2 −24x+1))  is at one or both of these borders  x=12−(√(143)) ∨ x=12+(√(143)) ⇒  ⇒ minimum is at x=12+(√(143)) and has the  value (√(291−24(√(143))))

sir why not use critical point from  f ′(x)=0?

my typo sir original problem   f(x)=(√(x^2 +4)) + (√(x^2 −24x+153))

$${my}\:{typo}\:{sir}\:{original}\:{problem}\: \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)=\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}}\:+\:\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{24}{x}+\mathrm{153}} \\ $$

because f′(x)=0 has got no real solution  f′(x)=(x/(√(x^2 +4)))+((x−12)/(√(x^2 −24x+1)))=0  x(√(x^2 −24x+1))=(12−x)(√(x^2 +4))  squaring [might leads to false solutions, we                       must check them!]  x^2 (x^2 −24x+1)=(12−x)^2 (x^2 +4)  ⇒  x^2 −((32)/(49))x+((192)/(49))=0  ⇒ x=((16)/(49))±((8(√(143)))/(49))i  both solve f′(x)=0 but both are not real

anyway I hope you learned something new...

with the new equation we get  f′(x)=(x/(√(x^2 +4)))+((x−12)/(√(x^2 −24x+153)))=0  x(√(x^2 −24x+153))=(12−x)(√(x^2 +4))  squaring and transforming  x^2 +((96)/5)x−((576)/5)=0  ⇒ x=−24∨x=((24)/5)  x=−24 is false; it doesn′t solve f′(x)=0  ⇒ x=((24)/5)  ⇒ minmum at x=((24)/5); f(((24)/5))=13

$$\mathrm{with}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{new}\:\mathrm{equation}\:\mathrm{we}\:\mathrm{get} \\ $$$${f}'\left({x}\right)=\frac{{x}}{\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}}}+\frac{{x}−\mathrm{12}}{\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{24}{x}+\mathrm{153}}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{24}{x}+\mathrm{153}}=\left(\mathrm{12}−{x}\right)\sqrt{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{squaring}\:\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{transforming} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\frac{\mathrm{96}}{\mathrm{5}}{x}−\frac{\mathrm{576}}{\mathrm{5}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}=−\mathrm{24}\vee{x}=\frac{\mathrm{24}}{\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$${x}=−\mathrm{24}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{false};\:\mathrm{it}\:\mathrm{doesn}'\mathrm{t}\:\mathrm{solve}\:{f}'\left({x}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{24}}{\mathrm{5}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\mathrm{minmum}\:\mathrm{at}\:{x}=\frac{\mathrm{24}}{\mathrm{5}};\:{f}\left(\frac{\mathrm{24}}{\mathrm{5}}\right)=\mathrm{13} \\ $$
