Consider two integers x and y such that x−y=12. What value of y will minimize x^2+y^2?
-----
Since y is squared, y = 0 will give a minimum value for y^2.
----
Since x-y = 12
y = x-12
----
y will be zero when x = 12.
---------------------------
Minimum value of x^2+y^2 is 12^2 = 144
----------------------
