Start from the inequality
>= 0,
which is valid for all real numbers "x" and "y".
It is equivalent to
>= 0.
Add 2xy to both sides. You will get an equivalent inequality
>= 2xy.
It is EXACTLY what has to be proved.
Solved and completed.

It is one of the classic and basic inequalities in Elementary Math, but the problem's formulation is NOT ADEQUATE.
The adequate formulation is THIS :
show that for any real numbers x and y 2xy <= x^2 +y^2.
with replacing "any integers x and y" by "any real numbers x and y".
Actually, this replacement is VERY important and shows that the person who invented/created the original post,
is UNPROFESSIONAL in Math.
