Problem 13
There are real numbers and that satisfy the system of equationsWhat 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-QM 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-QM inequality () in the steps below, we get
Therefore, .
