Extreme values of trigonometric functions in trigonometry
Question

If x,yR satisfies (x+ 5)2 + (y-12)2 - (14)2,  then the minimum value of x2+y2 is _______. 

Moderate
Solution

Let x+5=14cosθ and y12=14sinθ
x2+y2=(14cosθ5)2+(14sinθ+12)2=196+25+144+28(12sinθ5cosθ)=365+28(12sinθ5cosθ)x2+y2min=36528×13=365364=1
