(A) Given $xy = 1$,we have $y = \frac{1}{x}$.Let $f(x) = x + y = x + \frac{1}{x}$.To find the minimum value,we find the derivative $f'(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{x^2}$.Setting $f'(x) = 0$,we get $1 - \frac{1}{x^2} = 0$,which implies $x^2 = 1$. Since $x > 0$,we have $x = 1$.Now,we find the second derivative $f''(x) = \frac{2}{x^3}$.At $x = 1$,$f''(1) = \frac{2}{1^3} = 2 > 0$.Since the second derivative is positive,$x = 1$ is a point of local minima.The minimum value is $f(1) = 1 + \frac{1}{1} = 2$.

If $x$ and $y$ are two variables such that $x > 0$ and $xy = 1$,what is the minimum value of $x + y$?
