Problem

Solve the following system of equations on
Solution
Note that , () and . From the given condition, one can get where equals to the product of two left hand sides of the given system. Using the Cauchy-Schwarz and AM-GM inequality Similarly, we have Therefore, applying AM-GM inequality, we obtain The equality occurs if and only if and where . It is easy to check that these solutions satisfy the given system. Thus, where are all solutions of the given system.
Final answer
x = y = pi/4 + k*pi/2, for any integer k
