Algebra Difficulty 5.2 AIME, harder Prove it Mongolia

Let aa, bb, cc positive real numbers. Prove that
3bc(a+b)(a+b+c)+12a(a+b)(a+b+c)242. \sqrt{\frac{3bc}{(a+b)(a+b+c)}} + \sqrt[4]{\frac{12a(a+b)}{(a+b+c)^2}} \le 2.
Find the equality condition.

Solution

It's easy to check, when a=1a = 1, b=2b = 2, c=3c = 3 equality holds, hence by the Cauchy's inequality we have
14(23ba+b4ca+b+c+43aa+b(2(a+b)a+b+c)241)14(3ba+b+4ca+b+c+3aa+b+2(a+b)a+b+c+2(a+b)a+b+c+1)==14(3+4+1)=2. \begin{aligned} & \frac{1}{4} \left( 2 \sqrt{\frac{3b}{a+b} \cdot \frac{4c}{a+b+c}} + 4 \sqrt[4]{\frac{3a}{a+b} \left( \frac{2(a+b)}{a+b+c} \right)^2} \cdot 1 \right) \le \\ & \le \frac{1}{4} \left( \frac{3b}{a+b} + \frac{4c}{a+b+c} + \frac{3a}{a+b} + \frac{2(a+b)}{a+b+c} + \frac{2(a+b)}{a+b+c} + 1 \right) = \\ & = \frac{1}{4}(3 + 4 + 1) = 2. \end{aligned}
Here equality holds for if and only if 3ba+b=4ca+b+c\frac{3b}{a+b} = \frac{4c}{a+b+c} same as 3aa+b=2(a+b)a+b+c=1\frac{3a}{a+b} = \frac{2(a+b)}{a+b+c} = 1. Thus equality holds for a>0a > 0, b=2ab = 2a, c=3ac = 3a.
