    Question

    For any two positive numbers a and x, least value of ax+axax+\frac ax is​

    A.

    a2a^2​​

    B.

    2a2\sqrt{2a^2}​​

    C.

    aa​​

    D.

    2a2a​​

    Correct option is D

    Given:f(x)=ax+ax,where a>0 and x>0Formula:Use the inequality: AMGM =>ax+ax2axax =>ax+ax2a2=2aSolution:Equality holds when ax=ax=>x2=1=>x=1 At x=1,f(x)=a(1)+a1=2aFinal Answer:2a\textbf{Given:} \\f(x) = ax + \frac{a}{x}, \quad \text{where } a > 0 \text{ and } x > 0\\[10pt]\textbf{Formula:} \\\text{Use the inequality: } \text{AM} \geq \text{GM} \\\ \\\Rightarrow \frac{ax + \frac{a}{x}}{2} \geq \sqrt{ax \cdot \frac{a}{x}} \\\ \\\Rightarrow ax + \frac{a}{x} \geq 2\sqrt{a^2} = 2a\\[10pt]\textbf{Solution:} \\\text{Equality holds when } ax = \frac{a}{x} \Rightarrow x^2 = 1 \Rightarrow x = 1 \\\ \\\text{At } x = 1, \quad f(x) = a(1) + \frac{a}{1} = 2a\\[10pt]\textbf{Final Answer:} \\\boxed{2a}
