Problem

If the graph of $x^2+y^2=m$ is tangent to that of $x+y=\sqrt{2m}$, then:

$\text{(A) m must equal } \tfrac{1}{2}\quad \text{(B) m must equal  } \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\quad\\ \text{(C) m must equal } \sqrt{2}\quad \text{(D) m must equal } 2\quad\\ \text{(E) m may be any non-negative real number}$

Solution

$\fbox{E}$
