If x^2+y^2=1, what is the largest possible value of |x|+|y|?

If x² + y² = 1, then y = ±√(1 - x²).

Let f(x) = |x| + |±√(1 - x²)| = |x| + √(1 - x²).

If x < 0, we have |x| = -x ; otherwise, if x ≥ 0, then |x| = x.

• Case 1: suppose x < 0. Then

f(x) = -x + √(1 - x²)

f'(x) = -1 - x/√(1 - x²) = 0   →   x = -1/√2   →   y = ±1/√2

• Case 2: suppose x ≥ 0. Then

f(x) = x + √(1 - x²)

f'(x) = 1 - x/√(1 - x²) = 0   →   x = 1/√2   →   y = ±1/√2

In either case, |x| = |y| = 1/√2, so the maximum value of their sum is 2/√2 = √2.

answer: the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

its because the dogs being trained are for search and rescue thus they need to be able to track humans and their specific scent
