How do I show that for all $x,y\geq 0$, $\frac{x^2+y^2}{4}\leq e^{x+y-2}$? Tried using the mean value theorem but couldn't figure out how to use it properly.

Expand the series of e^(x+y+2) and see that there are positive terms other than x^2+y^2/4 – User8976 Mar 26 '17 at 07:50

@user8795 the question is asking for $e^{x+y-2}$, so the series would contain positive and negative terms, so that method does not work directly. – adfriedman Mar 26 '17 at 07:53
