Problem 7: Wonderful inequality

$$\bf\color{red}Problem \ 7 \  $$If $a,b,c$ are positive reals, prove that
\[(a+b+c)^5\ge 81abc(a^2+b^2+c^2).\]$$\bf\color{red}{Solution}  $$Multiplying both sides by $(a+b+c),$ we need to prove that
\[(a+b+c)^6\geq 81abc(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2)\]By $\text{AM-GM},$
$(a+b+c)^6=\left(a^2+b^2+c^2+2(ab+bc+ca)\right)^3\geq 27(a^2+b^2+c^2)(ab+bc+ca)^2\geq 81abc(a+b+c)(a^2+b^2+c^2).$
So, the proof is completed.
