Given that $x+y=1$ , we have $y=1-x$ , so that

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

Take the derivative and find the critical points of $g$ :

$g'(x)=2x-2(1-x)=4x-2=0\implies x=\dfrac12$

Take the second derivative and evaluate it at the critical point:

$g''(x)=4>0$

Since $g''$ is positive for all $x$ , the critical point is a minimum.

At the critical point, we get the minimum value $g\left(\frac12\right)=f\left(\frac12,\frac12\right)=\frac12$ .
