(Nazar Agakhanov, Russia) Let be positive real numbers such that . Prove that
Solution
Solution 1
We make the substitution , , . Then Since and are similarly sorted sequences, it follows from the Rearrangement Inequality that By the Power Mean Inequality, Symmetric application of this argument yields Finally, AM-GM gives us as desired.
Solution 2
We make the same substitution as in the first solution. We note that in general, It follows that and are similarly sorted sequences. Then by Chebyshev's Inequality, By AM-GM, , and by Nesbitt's Inequality, The desired conclusion follows.
Solution 3
Without clever substitutions: By Cauchy-Schwarz, Dividing by gives by AM-GM.
Solution 3b
Without clever notation: By Cauchy-Schwarz,
Dividing by and noting that by AM-GM gives as desired.
Solution 4
After the setting and as so concluding
\[\frac{x^{2}}{y+z}+\frac{y^{2}}{z+x}+\frac{z^{2}}{x+y} \geq \frac{3}{2}}\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
By Titu Lemma, Now by AM-GM we know that and which concludes to
Therefore we get
Hence our claim is proved ~~ Aritra12
Solution 5
Proceed as in Solution 1, to arrive at the equivalent inequality But we know that by AM-GM. Furthermore, by Cauchy-Schwarz, and so dividing by gives as desired.
Solution 6
Without clever substitutions, and only AM-GM!
Note that . The cyclic sum becomes . Note that by AM-GM, the cyclic sum is greater than or equal to . We now see that we have the three so we must be on the right path. We now only need to show that . Notice that by AM-GM, , , and . Thus, we see that , concluding that
