Express f(x)f(x) in the form Rcos⁡(x−λ)R \cos(x - \lambda).

  1. Expand Rcos⁡(x−λ)R \cos(x - \lambda) using the compound angle formula.

    Rcos⁡(x−λ)=R(cos⁡xcos⁡λ+sin⁡xsin⁡λ)R \cos(x - \lambda) = R(\cos x \cos \lambda + \sin x \sin \lambda) Rcos⁡(x−λ)=(Rcos⁡λ)cos⁡x+(Rsin⁡λ)sin⁡xR \cos(x - \lambda) = (R \cos \lambda) \cos x + (R \sin \lambda) \sin x
  2. Compare coefficients with f(x)=cos⁡x+3sin⁡xf(x) = \cos x + \sqrt{3} \sin x.

    We have:
    Rcos⁡λ=1(1)R \cos \lambda = 1 \quad (1)
    Rsin⁡λ=3(2)R \sin \lambda = \sqrt{3} \quad (2)

  3. Find RR.

    Square and add equations (1) and (2):

    (Rcos⁡λ)2+(Rsin⁡λ)2=12+(3)2(R \cos \lambda)^2 + (R \sin \lambda)^2 = 1^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2 R2cos⁡2λ+R2sin⁡2λ=1+3R^2 \cos^2 \lambda + R^2 \sin^2 \lambda = 1 + 3 R2(cos⁡2λ+sin⁡2λ)=4R^2 (\cos^2 \lambda + \sin^2 \lambda) = 4

    Using the identity cos⁡2λ+sin⁡2λ=1\cos^2 \lambda + \sin^2 \lambda = 1:

    R2(1)=4R^2 (1) = 4 R2=4R^2 = 4

    Since R>0R > 0, R=4=2R = \sqrt{4} = 2.

  4. Find λ\lambda.

    Divide equation (2) by equation (1):

    Rsin⁡λRcos⁡λ=31\frac{R \sin \lambda}{R \cos \lambda} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{1} tan⁡λ=3\tan \lambda = \sqrt{3}

    Given 0<λ<π20 < \lambda < \frac{\pi}{2}, λ\lambda is in the first quadrant.

    λ=arctan⁡(3)=π3\lambda = \arctan(\sqrt{3}) = \frac{\pi}{3}
  5. Write f(x)f(x) in the required form.

    f(x)=2cos⁡(x−π3)f(x) = 2 \cos \left(x - \frac{\pi}{3}\right)

    The expression for f(x)f(x) is 2cos⁡(x−π3)\boxed{2 \cos \left(x - \frac{\pi}{3}\right)}.

Find the minimum value of 11+∣f(x)∣\frac{1}{1+|f(x)|}.

  1. Determine the range of f(x)f(x).

    From part (a), f(x)=2cos⁡(x−π3)f(x) = 2 \cos \left(x - \frac{\pi}{3}\right).
    The range of cos⁡θ\cos \theta is [−1,1][-1, 1].
    Therefore, the range of f(x)f(x) is 2×[−1,1]=[−2,2]2 \times [-1, 1] = [-2, 2].

  2. Determine the maximum value of $|f(x)|$.

    Since f(x)f(x) ranges from −2-2 to 2, the maximum value of ∣f(x)∣|f(x)| is 2. This occurs when f(x)=2f(x) = 2 or f(x)=−2f(x) = -2.

  3. Find the minimum value of the expression.

    To minimize the fraction 11+∣f(x)∣\frac{1}{1+|f(x)|}, its denominator 1+∣f(x)∣1+|f(x)| must be maximized.
    The maximum value of ∣f(x)∣|f(x)| is 2.
    So, the maximum value of 1+∣f(x)∣1+|f(x)| is 1+2=31+2 = 3.
    The minimum value of 11+∣f(x)∣\frac{1}{1+|f(x)|} is 13\frac{1}{3}.
    The minimum value is 13\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}.

Find the general solution of f(x)=3f(x) = \sqrt{3}.

  1. Set f(x)f(x) equal to 3\sqrt{3}.

    Using the expression for f(x)f(x) from part (a):

    2cos⁡(x−π3)=32 \cos \left(x - \frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \sqrt{3} cos⁡(x−π3)=32\cos \left(x - \frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}
  2. Find the principal value.

    Let Y=x−π3Y = x - \frac{\pi}{3}. We need to solve cos⁡Y=32\cos Y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.
    The principal value for YY is arccos⁡(32)=π6\arccos\left(\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) = \frac{\pi}{6}.

  3. Write the general solution for YY.

    The general solution for cos⁡Y=cos⁡α\cos Y = \cos \alpha is Y=2nπ±αY = 2n\pi \pm \alpha, where n∈Zn \in \mathbb{Z}.
    So, x−π3=2nπ±π6x - \frac{\pi}{3} = 2n\pi \pm \frac{\pi}{6}.

  4. Solve for xx.

    Case 1: x−π3=2nπ+π6x - \frac{\pi}{3} = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi}{6}

    x=2nπ+π6+π3x = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{3} x=2nπ+π6+2π6x = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{2\pi}{6} x=2nπ+3π6x = 2n\pi + \frac{3\pi}{6} x=2nπ+π2x = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi}{2}

    Case 2: x−π3=2nπ−π6x - \frac{\pi}{3} = 2n\pi - \frac{\pi}{6}

    x=2nπ−π6+π3x = 2n\pi - \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{\pi}{3} x=2nπ−π6+2π6x = 2n\pi - \frac{\pi}{6} + \frac{2\pi}{6} x=2nπ+π6x = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi}{6}

    The general solution is x=2nπ+π2 or x=2nπ+π6, where n∈Z\boxed{x = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi}{2} \text{ or } x = 2n\pi + \frac{\pi}{6}, \text{ where } n \in \mathbb{Z}}.
