If x^2+y^2=1, prove x+y<=sqrt2 I'm really stuck (I think inequalities is involved, but I'm really bad at inequalities and rarely use them so.... ) I think C-S is involved, but I'm not sure. This comes from a more complicated, larger problem, I've just broken it down to the bit on which I have no idea what to do.

( x y ) 2 0
x 2 + y 2 2 x y = ( x + y ) 2 x 2 y 2 = ( x + y ) 2 1
1 = x 2 + y 2 ( x + y ) 2 1
2 ( x + y ) 2
x + y 2
