Let `x ,\ y` be two variables and `x >0,\ \ x y=1` , then minimum value of `x+y` is (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) `2 1/2` (d) `3 1/3`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `f(x)=x+y`, where `x y=1`.
`\Rightarrow \quad f(x)=x+\frac{1}{x} `
`\Rightarrow \quad f^{\prime}(x)=1-\frac{1}{x^{2}}=\frac{x^{2}-1}{x^{2}}`
Also, `\quad f^{\prime \prime}(x)=\frac{2}{x^{3}}` ...
