Seek the k k

Algebra Level 4

x y ( x 2 + y 2 ) ( 3 x 2 + y 2 ) 1 k \dfrac{xy}{\sqrt{(x^2+y^2)(3x^2+y^2)}} \leq \dfrac{1}{k}

For all the positive real numbers x , y x, y , find the greatest real number k k such that the inequality above is fulfilled.

If k = a + b k = a + \sqrt b for a a an integer and b b a positive integer, enter the value of a + b a+b as your answer, or else insert 0.


The answer is 4.
