Find max(z)

[Albert]

$x,y,z\in R$

$x+y+z=5---(1)$

$xy+yz+zx=3---(2)$

find $\max(z)$

Re: find max(z)

My solution:

Spoiler

$\bf{x+y+z=5 \Rightarrow x+y = 5-z...............(1)}$


$\bf{xy+yz+xz=3}$


$\bf{(x+y+z)^2=x^2+y^2+z^2+2(xy+yz+xz)=25 \Rightarrow x^2+y^2+z^2=19}$


So $\bf{x^2+y^2 = 19-z^2...............(2)}$


Using Cauchy - Schwartz Inequality


$\bf{\left(x^2+y^2\right).\left(1^2+1^2\right)\geq \left(x+y \right)^2}$


$\bf{\left(19 - z^2 \right).2 \geq \left( 5-z \right)^2}$


$\bf{3z^2-10z-13 \leq 0}$


$\displaystyle \bf{3.\left(z - \frac{13}{3} \right).\left(z+1\right)\leq 0}$


$\displaystyle \bf{ -1 \leq z \leq \frac{13}{3}}$

So $\displaystyle \bf{Max.(z) = \frac{13}{3}}$

thanks , your answer is correct
