Problem 13
There are real numbers 
and 
that satisfy the system of equations![\[x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 8y = h\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/e/1/6e1b822d6a797e597019f3e2dec998e71d787585.png)
![\[x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 4y = k\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/1/e/81e93689500b6956b5b22642888c380e29c2a60e.png)
What is the minimum possible value of 
?
Solution 1 (Easy and Fast)
Adding up the first and second statement, we get h+k with:
= 2x^2 + 2y^2 - 16x - 4y
= 2(x^2 - 8x) + 2(y^2 - 2y)
= 2(x^2 - 8x + 16) - (2)(16) + 2(y^2 - 2y + 1) - (2)(1)
= 2(x - 4)^2 + 2(y - 1)^2 - 34
All squared values must be greater or equal to 0. As we are aiming for the minimum value, we let the 2 squared terms be 0.
This leads to (h+k)min = 0 + 0 - 34 = (C) -34

Solution 2 (Coordinate Geometry and HM-GM)
![\[(x-3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = h + 25\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/a/e/9ae17badb0db86f1f929a000c426857df7dd376a.png)
![\[(x-5)^2 + (y+2)^2 = k + 29\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/3/3/5/3359dd10b43d4594313208fe47bbaa76e2b1767a.png)
distance between 2 circle centers is ![\[d^2 = (5-3)^2 + (4 - (-2)) ^2 = 40\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/5/5/95537e14cb68b60edb1bbbb07048c6cd76b9b86a.png)
![\[\sqrt{h+25} + \sqrt{k+29} = 2*\sqrt{10}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/0/1/a/01a95c942b576e2dcbe575a3afb08173dca9bb06.png)
![\[h + k + 54 = (h + 25) + (k + 29) =\sqrt{(h + 25)}^2 + \sqrt{(k + 29)}^2 \geq \frac{\left(\sqrt{h + 25} + \sqrt{k + 29}\right)^2}{2} = \frac{\left(2\sqrt{10}\right)^2}{2} = 20.\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/4/d/d/4dd6945ff3be5001554b4c445692bbcccb29a178.png)
min( h + k ) = 
.
