Ta có:
\(I=\left|x+\frac{1}{2}\right|+\left|x+\frac{1}{3}\right|+\left|x+\frac{1}{4}\right|=\left(\left|x+\frac{1}{2}\right|+\left|x+\frac{1}{4}\right|\right)+\left|x+\frac{1}{3}\right|\)
\(=\left(\left|x+\frac{1}{2}\right|+\left|-x-\frac{1}{4}\right|\right)+\left|x+\frac{1}{3}\right|\ge\left|x+\frac{1}{2}-x-\frac{1}{4}\right|+\left|x+\frac{1}{3}\right|=\frac{1}{4}+\left|x+\frac{1}{3}\right|\ge\frac{1}{4}\)
Dấu "=" xảy ra <=> \(\hept{\begin{cases}\left(x+\frac{1}{2}\right)\left(-x-\frac{1}{4}\right)\ge0\\x+\frac{1}{3}=0\end{cases}}\Leftrightarrow x=-\frac{1}{3}\)
Vậy min I = 1/4 đạt tại x = -1/3.
