Hello Student,
Please find answer to your question below

f(x,y) = x^{2}+2y^{2}+2xy+4y+7
f(x,y) = x^{2}+y^{2}+2xy+y^{2}+4y+7
f(x,y) = x^{2}+y^{2}+2xy+y^{2}+4y+4 + 3
f(x,y) = (x+y)^{2}+(y+2)^{2}+ 3
x, y belong to R.
Minimum will of the square of any real number is zero.
Minima of f(x, y) will be at
x = 2, y = -2
[f(x,y)]_{min} = (2+(-2))^{2}+(-2+2)^{2}+ 3
[f(x,y)]_{min} = 3
