SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding a bound K for the inequality involving real numbers a, b, c, and d, specifically in the form of (a²+c²)x² + 2(ab+cd)xy + (b²+d²)y² ≤ K(x²+y²). The user seeks assistance in determining a value K > 0 that satisfies this condition. A key insight shared is the application of the inequality that states 2xy is always less than the sum of the squares of the two variables, which aids in deriving the bound.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quadratic inequalities
  • Familiarity with real number properties
  • Knowledge of algebraic manipulation techniques
  • Basic concepts of mathematical bounds
NEXT STEPS

I'm trying to find a value K>o such that for real a,b,c,d

(a^2+c^2)x^2+2(ab+cd)xy+(b^2+d^2)y^2 ≤ K(x^2+y^2).

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated thanks.

Well, play a bit around using the fact that 2xy is always less than the sum of the two variables squared.
 
Thank you very much. I would have been stuck for hours.
