Algebra Level 3

Given that ( x , y ) (x,y) lies on the unit circle x 2 + y 2 = 1 x^2+y^2=1 in a Cartesian plane, find the minimum possible value of 10 x 2 + 28 x y + 20 y 2 10x^2 + 28xy + 20y^2 .

If this minimum value can be written in the form a b a-\sqrt{b} , where a a and b b are positive integers, find a + b a+b .


The answer is 236.
