The condition of x x is x [ 0 ; 2 2 ] [ ; 2 2 ] x\in [0;2\sqrt{2}]\cup [-\infty ; -2\sqrt{2}]

By Cauchy-Schwarz inequality we have ( x 8 x + x ( 8 x 2 ) ) 2 ( 8 x + x ) ( 8 x 2 + x 2 ) = 64 \bigg(x\sqrt{8-x}+\sqrt{x(8-x^2)}\bigg)^2\leq (8-x+x)(8-x^2+x^2)=64 x 8 x + x ( 8 x 2 ) 8 \Leftrightarrow x\sqrt{8-x}+\sqrt{x(8-x^2)}\leq 8 So x 8 x + x ( 8 x 2 ) 8 x\sqrt{8-x}+\sqrt{x(8-x^2)}\geq 8 only holds true when L H S = R H S LHS=RHS , which means ( 8 x ) ( 8 x 2 ) = x 3 \sqrt{(8-x)(8-x^2)}=\sqrt{x^3} Solving the equation and we get x = 1 + 33 2 x=\frac{-1+\sqrt{33}}{2} as the answer, so the correct choice is 1 1
