Find the maximum value of the function $\sqrt{x^4-9x^2-12x+61}-\sqrt{x^4-x^2+1}$.
 
Mathematics news on Phys.org
My Solution:

Given $$\displaystyle \sqrt{x^4-9x^2-12x+61}-\sqrt{x^4-x^2+1} = \sqrt{\left(x^2-5\right)^2+\left(x-6\right)^2}-\sqrt{\left(x^2-1\right)^2+(x-0)^2}$$

Now Using Triangle Inequality::

$$\displaystyle \sqrt{\left(x^2-5\right)^2+\left(x-6\right)^2}-\sqrt{\left(x^2-1\right)^2+(x-0)^2}\leq \sqrt{\left(x^2-5-x^2+1\right)^2+\left(x-6-x\right)^2} = 2\sqrt{13}$$

and equality hold when $$\displaystyle \frac{x^2-5}{x-6} = \frac{x^2-1}{x}$$

Well done, jacks!(Yes) That is the trick to make this challenge as simplest as possible, and thanks for participating!:)
 
Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
