Algebraic Manipulation !

Geometry Level 5

Let x R + x\in \mathbb{R}^{ + } and f ( x ) = 576 + x 2 24 x + 49 + x 2 7 3 x f\left( x \right) = \sqrt { 576+{ x }^{ 2 }-24x } +\sqrt { 49+{ x }^{ 2 }-7\sqrt { 3 } x } .

If we set x x positive variable in such a way that f ( x ) f\left( x \right) is Minimum possible, then for this condition, find the value of E = 336 24 3 x 7 x 4 . E\quad =\quad \frac { 336-24\sqrt { 3 } x -7x }{ 4 } .

Let's Do some Geometric , An Smart Geometrical Interpretation Say That This f(x) is written as Sides of an Triangle in terms of Cosine Law , Such That It forms an right angle triangle ABC ( See Figure ) :

So Geometrically : f ( x ) = A D + C D f\left( x \right) =AD+CD . By using Triangle Inequality ;

A D + C D A C f ( x ) m i n = A C \because \quad AD+CD\quad \ge \quad AC\\ \therefore \quad { f\left( x \right) }_{ min }\quad =\quad AC .

Using Pythagoras Theorem in Triangle ABC we get ' A C = 25 AC=25 ' So Using ''Equality'' Condition of ''Triangle inequality'' that Sum of Two side is equal to third Side Then All Three Point's must be Collinear , So Redraw It's figure :

Now Use : A r e a ( Δ A D B ) + A r e a ( Δ C D B ) = A r e a ( Δ A B C ) 1 2 ( 7 x ) sin 30 + 1 2 ( 24 x ) sin 60 = 1 2 ( 7 ) ( 24 ) sin 90 336 24 3 x 7 x 4 = 0 E = 0 Area(\Delta ADB)+Area(\Delta CDB)=Area(\Delta ABC)\\ \\ \cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } (7x)\sin { 30 } +\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } (24x)\sin { 60 } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 2 } (7)(24)\sin { 90 } \\ \\ \cfrac { 336\quad -\quad 24\sqrt { 3 } x\quad -\quad 7x }{ 4 } \quad =\quad 0\\ \\ \boxed { E=0 } .

Truly I'am too bad in it , Even Now I'am Scaring from Chemistry , It was Really Tough , But I Think I'am a bit strong in Organic Chemistry , But Physical chemistry and Inorganic Really Tough for me !( Specially Physical Chemistry ) Even I don't know how to Prepare for Chemistry .

what about Your's , How You r preparing for it ?

Chemistry isn't quite tough if you study In the right way.

amazing , bro, i have learnt much from your geometry algebra manipulation problems,

However, this one can also be solved by considering the perpendicular bisector of (12,12root(3)) and (7root(3)/2, 7/2) and considering its intersection with x-axis

but yours is better

Amazing problem and solution. Can you please explain "This f(x) is written as Sides of an Triangle in terms of Cosine Law " so that I can try another similar problem. Or how you arrived at the problem. Thanks.
