Cho biểu thức \(D = \left( {\frac{{\sqrt x - 2}}{{x - 1}} - \frac{{\sqrt x + 2}}{{x + 2\sqrt x + 1}}} \right).\frac{{{{\left( {1 - x} \right)}^2}}}{2}\) với x ≥ 0, x ≠ 1. Giá trị lớn nhất của D là:

Đáp án đúng là: A

Với x ≥ 0, x ≠ 1, ta có:

\(D = \left( {\frac{{\sqrt x - 2}}{{x - 1}} - \frac{{\sqrt x + 2}}{{x + 2\sqrt x + 1}}} \right).\frac{{{{\left( {1 - x} \right)}^2}}}{2}\)

\(D = \left[ {\frac{{\left( {\sqrt x - 2} \right){{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}^2}}}{{\left( {x - 1} \right){{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}^2}}} - \frac{{\left( {\sqrt x + 2} \right)\left( {x - 1} \right)}}{{\left( {x - 1} \right){{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}^2}}}} \right].\frac{{{{\left( {1 - x} \right)}^2}}}{2}\)

\(D = \left[ {\frac{{\left( {\sqrt x - 2} \right){{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}^2} - \left( {\sqrt x + 2} \right)\left( {x - 1} \right)}}{{\left( {x - 1} \right){{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}^2}}}} \right].\frac{{{{\left( {1 - x} \right)}^2}}}{2}\)

\(D = \frac{{\left[ {x\sqrt x + 2x + \sqrt x - 2x - 4\sqrt x - 2 - x\sqrt x + \sqrt x - 2x + 2} \right]}}{{{{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}^2}}}.\frac{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}}{2}\)

\(D = \frac{{\left( { - 2x - 2\sqrt x } \right)}}{{{{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}^2}}}.\frac{{\left( {x - 1} \right)}}{2} = \frac{{ - 2\sqrt x \left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}}{{{{\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}^2}}}.\frac{{\left( {\sqrt x - 1} \right)\left( {\sqrt x + 1} \right)}}{2} = - \sqrt x \left( {\sqrt x - 1} \right)\).

Ta có: \(D = - \sqrt x \left( {\sqrt x - 1} \right) = - x + \sqrt x = - x + 2.\frac{1}{2}\sqrt x - \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = - {\left( {\sqrt x - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} + \frac{1}{4}\).

Nhận thấy \( - {\left( {\sqrt x - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} \le 0\) nên \( - {\left( {\sqrt x - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} + \frac{1}{4} \le \frac{1}{4}\).

Dấu “=” xảy ra khi x = \(\frac{1}{4}\).

Vậy GTLN của D = \(\frac{1}{4}\) khi x = \(\frac{1}{4}\).
