Correct answer: 9
- Rewrite the equation in terms of a single variable
Let Since , we have
The equation becomes
So we need the minimum value of
- Differentiate to find the minimum
Differentiate:
For critical points, set :
Since , both sides are positive, so we can write Thus,
- Check that this gives a minimum
As ,
As
So the interior critical point gives the minimum value.
- Compute the minimum value
Hence the minimum value of for which the equation has at least one solution is
- Comparison with stored answer
Stored correct answer = .
Our derived answer is also , so they agree.
