Problem
If 
are positive numbers bounded by 
and 
, i.e, if they lie in ![$[p,q], 0 < p$](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/b/7/d/b7db0d1c44b17ab521242db4599465126d5ad617.png)
, prove that
\[(a+b +c +d +e)\left(\frac{1}{a} +\frac {1}{b} +\frac{1}{c} + \frac{1}{d} +\frac{1}{e}\right) \le 25 + 6\left(\sqrt{\frac {p}{q}} \minus{} \sqrt {\frac{q}{p}}\right)^2\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
and determine when there is equality.
