Maximize the value of $sqrt{x-x^2}+sqrt{cx-x^2}$ without using calculus
$begingroup$
Assume that $c$ is positive. How can we maximize the value of $sqrt{x-x^2}+sqrt{cx-x^2}$ with respect to $x$ without the use of calculus?
With calculus, we can easily find out that the max of the expression is when $x=frac{c}{c+1}$.
My attempt to the question is consider the expression as the distance between points. Below is the figure.
The question becomes finding the longest length of the red line. However, I have no idea how to proceed.

Using the Cauchy-Schwartz inequality
$$
left(sqrt{x-x^2}+sqrt{c x-x^2}right)^2le left(x+1-xright)left(x+c-xright) = c
$$
then
$$
sqrt{x-x^2}+sqrt{c x-x^2}lesqrt{c}
$$

Let $x=frac{c}{c+1}t.$
Thus, by AM-GM we obtain:
$$sqrt{x-x^2}+sqrt{cx-x^2}=frac{sqrt{c}}{c+1}sqrt{t(c+1-ct)}+frac{sqrt{c}}{c+1}sqrt{ct(c+1-t)}leq$$
$$leqfrac{sqrt{c}}{c+1}left(frac{t+c+1-ct}{2}+frac{ct+c+1-t}{2}right)=sqrt{c}.$$
THe equality occurs for $t=1$, which says that we got a maximal value.

Assuming $$sqrt{x-x^2}+sqrt{cx-x^2}le sqrt{c}$$
Squaring we get
$$2sqrt{x-x^2}sqrt{cx-x^2}le 2x^2-x-cx+c$$
squaring again and factorizing we get $$(cx-c+x)^2geq 0$$ which is true.
Remark: We can only square the inequality if $$2x^2-x(c+1)+cgeq 0$$ this is true if $$0<cle 1$$ for $$0le xle c$$ or $$c>1$$ and $$0le xle 1$$

Thus, by AM-GM we obtain:
