Solution 1
By Furaken
Let .
This is sus, furaken randomly guessed C and proceeded to prove it works Draw a line through intersecting the
-axis at
and the
-axis at
. We shall show that
, and that equality only holds when
and
.
Let . Draw
perpendicular to the
-axis and
perpendicular to the
-axis as shown in the diagram. Then
By some inequality (I forgot its name),
We know that
. Thus
. Equality holds if and only if
which occurs when
. Guess what,
happens to be
, thus
and
. Thus,
is the only segment in
that passes through
. Finally, we calculate
, and the answer is
.

Solution 2
Now, we want to find . By L'Hôpital's rule, we get
. This means that
, so we get
.

Solution 3
The equation of line is
The position of line can be characterized by
, denoted as
.
Thus, the equation of line
is
Solving (1) and (2), the -coordinate of the intersecting point of lines
and
satisfies the following equation:
We denote the L.H.S. as .
We observe that for all
.
Therefore, the point
that this problem asks us to find can be equivalently stated in the following way:
We interpret Equation (1) as a parameterized equation that is a tuning parameter and
is a variable that shall be solved and expressed in terms of
.
In Equation (1), there exists a unique
, denoted as
(
-coordinate of point
), such that the only solution is
. For all other
, there are more than one solutions with one solution
and at least another solution.
Given that function is differentiable, the above condition is equivalent to the first-order-condition
Calculating derivatives in this equation, we get
By solving this equation, we get
Plugging this into Equation (1), we get the -coordinate of point
:
Therefore,
Therefore, the answer is .

Solution 4 (coordinate bash)
Let be a segment in

and y-intercept
. We can write
as
lie on
and no other segment in
. We can find
by solving
and taking the limit as
. Since

,
by the Pythagorean theorem. Solving this for

, the equation for
becomes
In ,
and
. To find the x-coordinate of

:
The problem asks for

.
Solution 5 (small perturb)
Let's move a little bit from to
, then
must move to
to keep
.
intersects with

and
such that
,
, we have
. Since

,
, so
,
, by similarity,
. So the coordinates of

Query
Let
