Problem 13
There are real numbers and
that satisfy the system of equations
What is the minimum possible value of
?
Solution 1 (Easy and Fast)
Adding up the first and second equation, we get:
All squared values must be greater than or equal to
. As we are aiming for the minimum value, we set the two squared terms to be
.
This leads to

Solution 2 (Coordinate Geometry and AM-GM Inequality)
The distance between 2 circle centers is
The 2 circles must intersect given there exists one or more pairs of (x,y), connecting
and any pair of the 2 circle intersection points gives us a triangle with 3 sides, then
Note that they will be equal if and only if the circles are tangent,
Applying the AM-GM inequality () in the steps below, we get
Therefore, .
