Algebra Level 1

Given x x and y y are real numbers that satisfy the equation x + y = x + y \sqrt { x+y } =\sqrt { x } +\sqrt { y } Find the smallest value of x + y \left| \left\lfloor x+y \right\rfloor \right|

x + y = x + y x + y = ( x + y ) 2 x + y = x + y + 2 x y 0 = 2 x y 0 = x y \large \sqrt { x+y } =\sqrt { x } +\sqrt { y } \\ x+y={ \left( \sqrt { x } +\sqrt { y } \right) }^{ 2 }\\ x+y=x+y+2\sqrt { xy } \\ 0=2\sqrt { xy } \\ 0=xy Thus, x = 0 x = 0 or y = 0 y = 0 or x = y = 0 x = y = 0 .

The smallest value of x + y \left| \left\lfloor x+y \right\rfloor \right| will be obtained if x = y = 0 x = y = 0 . So, x + y = 0 x + y = 0 , x + y = 0 \\ \left| \left\lfloor x+y \right\rfloor \right| =0

What if x = 0.5 x=0.5 ?

Can be justified too.
