Am still confused. Consider, x^2 + y^2 = 200 for the minimum value. That means, x + y is minimum 200 ^ 0.5 which means for a minimum sum of x + y, x has to be (200^0.5)/2 which gives x = 7.07. Sum up x^2 + y^2 at x = y = 7.07 we get x^2+ y^2 = approx. 98.30. Can someone please explain where I am going wrong.


Your question is not clear... For example, why are you considering x^2 + y^2 = 200?...

Anyway, x^2 + y^2 = 200 doe not mean thatx+y=\sqrt{200} .
