Problem 13

There are real numbers $x,y,h$ and $k$ that satisfy the system of equations\[x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 8y = h\]\[x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 4y = k\]What is the minimum possible value of $h+k$?

$\textbf{(A) }-54 \qquad \textbf{(B) }-46 \qquad \textbf{(C) }-34 \qquad \textbf{(D) }-16 \qquad \textbf{(E) }16 \qquad$


Solution 1 (Easy and Fast)

Adding up the first and second equation, we get: \begin{align*} h + k &= 2x^2 + 2y^2 - 16x - 4y \\ &= 2(x^2 - 8x) + 2(y^2 - 2y) \\  &= 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 \end{align*} All squared values must be greater than or equal to $0$. As we are aiming for the minimum value, we set the two squared terms to be $0$.

This leads to $\min(h + k) = 0 + 0 - 34 = \boxed{\textbf{(C)} -34}$

\[(x-3)^2 + (y-4)^2 = h + 25\] \[(x-5)^2 + (y+2)^2 = k + 29\] distance between 2 circle centers is \[d^2 = (5-3)^2 + (4 - (-2)) ^2 = 40\] the 2 circle must interact, so \[\sqrt{h+25} + \sqrt{k+29}   \geq  2*\sqrt{10}\] the min value will be reached when 2 circles are external tangent to each other \[h + k + 54 = (h + 25) + (k + 29) =\sqrt{(h + 25)}^2 + \sqrt{(k + 29)}^2 \geq \frac{\left(\sqrt{h + 25} + \sqrt{k + 29}\right)^2}{2} \geq   \frac{\left(2\sqrt{10}\right)^2}{2} = 20.\] the above step uses HM-GM inequality $2(a^2 + b^2) \geq (a+b)^2$

min( h + k ) = $\boxed{C -34}$.
