- Let x , y , and z be distinct real numbers that sum to 0. Find the maximum possiblevalue ofxy + yz + zx
.
2 2 2
x + y + z
Solution: − 1 / 2
2 2 2 2
Note that 0 = ( x + y + z ) = x + y + z + 2 xy + 2 yz + 2 zx . Rearranging, we get that
2 2 21
xy + yz + zx = − ( x + y + z ), so that in fact the quantity is always equal to − 1 / 2.
