Let (x+1) = p 2 p^{2} & (3-x) = q 2 q^2 .

We have p 2 + q 2 = 4 p^{2} + q^{2} = 4 .

Now by AM of 2nd powers greater than 2nd power of AM's & AM-GM we have,

p 2 + q 2 2 ( p + q 2 ) 2 p q \frac{p^{2} + q^{2}}{2} \ge (\frac{p+q}{2})^{2} \ge pq

So we get two relations namely,

( p + q ) 2 2 ) (p+q)\ge 2\sqrt2) ...................... (1)

2 p q 4 2pq\ge 4 .....................................(2) [Since p 2 + q 2 = 4 p^{2} + q^{2} = 4 ]

So our expression = p + q + 2 p q m + 1 p+q+2pq\le m+1

or, m ( p + q ) + ( 2 p q ) 1 2 2 + 4 1 = 2 2 + 3 = 5.82 m\ge (p+q) + (2pq) - 1\ge 2\sqrt2 + 4 - 1= 2\sqrt2 + 3 = 5.82 [From (1) & (2)]
