. We're sorry about the hassle.
yeah i think it the most easiest way to solve it
But what if x = − 1

By AM-GM, we get 1 0 x + x 1 0 ≥ 2 1 0 x ⋅ x 1 0 = 2 1 0 ⋅ 1 0 = 2 ⋅ 1 0 = 2 0
well, minimum value, of an INTEGER positive x
Taking the derivative and setting it to zero gives you
10 - 10x^-2 = 0
Then x^2 = 1, and x = +1 or -1 are the interesting points of this function.
At x = +1 you get 20. At x = -1 you get -20.
You can tell that the function increases to either side of x = +1 using more calculus or just trying some points (x = 1/10 gives 101, as does x = 10), so there's a local minimum at x = +1.
You can actually make the function arbitrarily small using negative values of x. x = -10 gives a result of -101. As x goes to negative infinity, the function goes to 10x. Because I can't type negative infinity into the answer box, I decided you meant to restrict to positive values of x. But I think you should edit the question to make this clear, if that is a thing you can do.
Here I answered the value of X instead of the lowest value of the equation.
It's minimum when 10x = 10/x, Because x is positive we get x=1. Then the minimum value is 20

x + x 1 ≥ 2
So answer is 2 0
