Given x+2y=4, we want to find the maximum of sqrt(x)+sqrt(y). We can do this the Calculus 1 way (finding the critical number from the first derivative, then testing out if it's a min or max), but we can also use the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. The version we will use is (a^2+b^2)(c^2+d^2) is greater than or equal to (ac+bd)^2. To read more, you can see
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy%... Cauchy-Schwarz inequality is a big topic for high school students in Taiwan. It's definitely not easy sometimes but it is very cool.

Here's a video that I did with Mr. Li when I was in Taiwan. Finding the maximum of 2/sin(theta)+3/cos(theta) for theta from 0 to pi/2 (這是我跟李翰老師 ‪@lihanmath‬ 合作影片之一. 這應該是台灣史上最有名的大學數學聯考題)    • 毫無準備,直接挑戰傳奇大學聯考題的樣子
