The minimum is when x=2 and y=-2.

So, the answer is:

2^2+2(2)(-2)+2(-2)^2+4(-2)+7

Given \(x^2+2y^2+2xy+4y+7\)

 

\(x^2+2y^2+2xy+4y+7\)

\(x^2+y^2+2xy+y^2+4y+7\)

\(x^2+y^2+2xy+y^2+4y+4+3\)

\((x+y)^2+(y+2)^2+3\)

 

 

Minimum of square of any number is \(0\). So, minima will be at \(x=2,y=-2\). Therefore, \((2+(-2))^2+(-2+2)^2+3=3\). Therefore, the least value of the expression \(x^2+2y^2+2xy+4y+7\) is \(\boxed3\).

 

Good Job, CalTheGreat (flec)!
