Algebra Difficulty 5.1 AIME, harder Prove it Russia

Positive real numbers xx, yy, and zz satisfy the inequality xyzxy+yz+zxxyz \ge xy + yz + zx. Prove that
xyzx+y+z. \sqrt{xyz} \ge \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y} + \sqrt{z}.

Положительные числа xx, yy и zz удовлетворяют условию xyzxy+yz+zxxyz \ge xy + yz + zx. Докажите неравенство xyzx+y+z\sqrt{xyz} \ge \sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y} + \sqrt{z}.

Solution

Rewrite the given and the required inequalities as 1x+1y+1z1\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z} \le 1 and 1xy+1xz+1yz1\frac{1}{\sqrt{xy}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{xz}} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{yz}} \le 1.

By the inequality of means, we have
xy+xz2xyxz,xy+yz2xyyz,xz+yz2xzyz. xy + xz \geq 2\sqrt{xy \cdot xz}, \quad xy + yz \geq 2\sqrt{xy \cdot yz}, \quad xz + yz \geq 2\sqrt{xz \cdot yz}.
Add these three inequalities and divide the result by 22. Taking into account the condition, we get
xyzxy+xz+yzxyz+yxz+zxy. xyz \geq xy + xz + yz \geq x\sqrt{yz} + y\sqrt{xz} + z\sqrt{xy}.
Dividing the obtained inequality by xyz\sqrt{xyz}, we obtain the required result.
