Let (h,k) be a fixed point where h,k>0. a straight line passing through this point cuts the positive direction of coordinate axes at point P and Q. Find the minimum area of the triangle OPQ, O being the origin.
\r\nI FOUND THE AREA TO BE=1/2*[2hk+(h)squared*tan(theta)+(k)squared*cot(theta)]
\r\nbut the answer is 2hk..... how the area can be minimised???
