5x + 12y = 13
12y = 13 - 5x
y = [ 13 - 5x] / 12
x^2 + y^2 =
x^2 + [ (13 -5x ) /12 ]^2
x^2 + (1/144) [ 13 - 5x ]^2
Take the derivative of this and set to 0
2x + (2/144) [ 13 - 5x ] (-5) = 0 simplify
2x - (10/144) [ 13 - 5x ] = 0
2x - (5/72] [ 13 - 5x ] = 0
2x = (5/72)[ 13 -5x ]
(144/5)x = 13 - 5x
(144/5)x + 5x = 13
[ (144 + 25 )/ 5 ] x = 13
[169/5] x = 13
x = [ 13 * 5 ] / 169
x = 5/13
y = [ 13 - 5 ( 5/13) ] / 12 = [ 13 - 25/13] / 12 = [ 169 - 25] / 156 = 144 / 156 = 12/13
So.....
min [ x^2 + y^2 ] =
[5/13]^2 + [12/13]^2 =
[ 5^2 + 12^2 ] / 13^2 =
[ 25 + 144 ] / 169 =
169/169 =
