The condition of x is x ∈ [ 0 ; 2 ] Called the expression is A, we see that A = x + 4 1 − 2 x = x + 2 3 . 2 − x Using Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we have A 2 ≤ ( 1 + 8 ) ( x + 2 − x ) ⇔ A 2 ≤ 1 8 ⇔ A ≤ 3 2 ≈ 4 . 2 4 The equality holds when x = 9 2
Using Cauchy-Schwarz inequality as follows:
( x + 2 1 − 2 x + 2 1 − 2 x ) 2 ⟹ x + 4 1 − 2 x ≤ ( 1 + 2 2 + 2 2 ) ( x + 1 − 2 x + 1 − 2 x ) = 1 8 ≤ 1 8 ≈ 4 . 2 4 3
Equality occurs when x = 9 2 .
Most precise solution.
did the same way
x = 2 sin 2 θ . ( 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2 π )
x + 4 1 − 2 x = 2 sin θ + 4 cos θ = 1 8 sin ( θ + k ) .
The maximum is 3 2 .

Let y = x + 4 1 − 2 x = x + 1 6 − 8 x Differentiating, we get
d x d y = 2 x 1 − 1 6 − 8 x 4 = 0
Solving, we get x = 9 2 . Substituting in, we get the answer.
