Using an array as an input for a multivariable function

Question

If I have a multivariable function such as F= lambda x,y: x**2+y**2
and if I need to use the input x0=np.array([1,1])

May I know how I should use x0 to get the value from F? I understand that I could use something like F(x0[0],x0[1])

But I would like to know whether there is a way that I can directly use x0 rather than calling each cordinate manually

Appreciate your help

Python lets you do this by doing F(*x0), which expands the array into the parameters. In other languages this is sometimes called "splatting".
