x^2 +y^2 +z^2  is the squared  distance  from point (x,y,z) to the orgin. so  the minimum of x^2 +y^2 +z^2  is the  squared distance from origin to the  plane 2x+3y+5z−30=0. that is  (((−30)/( (√(2^2 +3^2 +5^2 )))))^2 =((450)/(19))

$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +{z}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{is}\:{the}\:{squared}\:\:{distance} \\ $$ $${from}\:{point}\:\left({x},{y},{z}\right)\:{to}\:{the}\:{orgin}.\:{so} \\ $$ $${the}\:{minimum}\:{of}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +{z}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{is}\:{the} \\ $$ $${squared}\:{distance}\:{from}\:{origin}\:{to}\:{the} \\ $$ $${plane}\:\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{3}{y}+\mathrm{5}{z}−\mathrm{30}=\mathrm{0}.\:{that}\:{is} \\ $$ $$\left(\frac{−\mathrm{30}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}} }}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\frac{\mathrm{450}}{\mathrm{19}} \\ $$
