\(A=\sqrt{x-2\sqrt{x-1}}\)\(+5\sqrt{x+3-4\sqrt{x-1}}\)\(+8\sqrt{x+8-6\sqrt{x-1}}\)
\(=\sqrt{x-1-2\sqrt{x-1}+1}\)\(+5\sqrt{x-1-4\sqrt{x-1}+4}\)\(+8\sqrt{x-1-6\sqrt{x-1}+9}\)
\(=\sqrt{\left(\sqrt{x-1}-1\right)^2}\)\(+5\sqrt{\left(\sqrt{x-1}-2\right)^2}\)\(+8\sqrt{\left(\sqrt{x-1}-3\right)^2}\)
\(=\sqrt{x-1}-1+5\sqrt{x-1}-10+8\sqrt{x-1}-24\)
\(=16\sqrt{x-1}-35\)
\(A_{min}=-35\Leftrightarrow16\sqrt{x-1}=0\Rightarrow x=1\)
