The correct Answer is:
To find the minimum value of the expression \( \sin x + \cos x + \csc 2x \) for \( 0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the expression The expression we want to minimize is: \[ f(x) = \sin x + \cos x + \csc 2x \] We know that \( \csc 2x = \frac{1}{\sin 2x} \) and \( \sin 2x = 2 \sin x \cos x \). Thus, we can rewrite \( \csc 2x \) as: \[ \csc 2x = \frac{1}{2 \sin x \cos x} \] So, our function becomes: \[ f(x) = \sin x + \cos x + \frac{1}{2 \sin x \cos x} \] ### Step 2: Use the AM-GM Inequality We can apply the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean (AM-GM) inequality to the terms \( \sin x \), \( \cos x \), and \( \frac{1}{2 \sin x \cos x} \): \[ \frac{\sin x + \cos x + \frac{1}{2 \sin x \cos x}}{3} \geq \sqrt[3]{\sin x \cos x \cdot \frac{1}{2 \sin x \cos x}} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{\sin x + \cos x + \frac{1}{2 \sin x \cos x}}{3} \geq \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{2}} \] Multiplying both sides by 3 gives: \[ \sin x + \cos x + \frac{1}{2 \sin x \cos x} \geq 3 \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{2}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the minimum value Now we calculate \( 3 \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{2}} \): \[ 3 \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{2}} = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{2}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt[3]{2}} \approx 3 \cdot 0.7937 \approx 2.381 \] Thus, we have: \[ \sin x + \cos x + \csc 2x \geq 3 \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{2}} \approx 2.381 \] ### Step 4: Conclusion The minimum value of \( \sin x + \cos x + \csc 2x \) for \( 0 < x < \frac{\pi}{2} \) is approximately \( 2.381 \).
