Consider the set $S$ of points $(x, y) \in R^2$ which minimize the real valued function

$$ f(x, y)=(x+y-1)^2+(x+y)^2 $$

Which of the following statements is true about the set $S$ ?

Let $$x$$ and $$y$$ be integers satisfying the following equations $$$2{x^2} + {y^2} = 34$$$ $$$x + 2y = 11$$$
The value of $$(x+y)$$ is _________.

Consider a function $$f\left( {x,y,z} \right)$$ given by $$f\left( {x,y,z} \right) = \left( {{x^2} + {y^2} - 2{z^2}} \right)\left( {{y^2} + {z^2}} \right).$$ The partial derivative of this function with respect to $$x$$ at the point $$x=2, y=1$$ and $$z=3$$ is _______.

Let $$\,{y^2} - 2y + 1 = x$$ and $$\,\sqrt x + y = 5.\,\,$$ The value of $$\,x + \sqrt y \,\,$$ equals ________. (Given the answer up to three decimal places)
