inequality,
2
x
+
y
≥
x
y
⇒
1
≥

y
.
Here in this case we take
x
y
=
1
since
1
is its max. value.
(

.
Therefore,the maximum value of

y
2
(

=

2
(

)
=

good solution !

Since x , y > 0 , we can apply AM-GM inequality and RMS-AM inequality respectively as follows:
x y ⟹ x 2 y 2 ≤ 2 x + y = 1 ≤ 1 Equality occurs when x = y = 1
2 x 2 + y 2 ⟹ x 2 + y 2 ≤ 2 x + y = 1 ≤ 2 Equality occurs when x = y = 1
⟹ x 2 y 2 ( x 2 + y 2 ) ≤ 2 .
