Let (x+1) = p 2 & (3-x) = q 2 .
We have p 2 + q 2 = 4 .
Now by AM of 2nd powers greater than 2nd power of AM's & AM-GM we have,
2 p 2 + q 2 ≥ ( 2 p + q ) 2 ≥ p q
So we get two relations namely,
( p + q ) ≥ 2 2 ) ...................... (1)
2 p q ≥ 4 .....................................(2) [Since p 2 + q 2 = 4 ]
So our expression = p + q + 2 p q ≤ m + 1
or, m ≥ ( p + q ) + ( 2 p q ) − 1 ≥ 2 2 + 4 − 1 = 2 2 + 3 = 5 . 8 2 [From (1) & (2)]
