Show that among all positive numbers ...

Show that among all positive numbers `x` and `y` with `x^2+y^2=r^2` , the sum `x+y` is larger when `x=y=r//sqrt(2)` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`x^2+y^2=r^2`
`y=sqrt{r^2-x^2}`
Let `f=x+y=x+sqrt{r^2-x^2}`
`{df}/{dx}=1+1/{2sqrt{r^2-x^2}}xx(-2x)=0`
Put `{df}/{dx}=0`
`implies1+1/{2sqrt{r^2-x^2}}xx(-2x)=0`
`implies x=r/sqrt2` `therefore {d^2f}/{dx^2}=-{ sqrt{r^2-x^2}+{x^2}/ sqrt{r^2-x^2}}/ {r^2-x^2}`
