Firstly, we will prove that if α, β∈[0,1], then α4+β5+(α−β)6≤2. Indeed, tn≤t for all real t∈[0,1] and any positive integer n. Suppose that α≥β (case α≤β is considered analogously). Then 0≤α−β≤1, so (α−β)6≤α−β. Also, α4≤α and β5≤β. Summing up the previous inequalities we obtain:
α4+β5+(α−β)6≤α+β+α−β=2α≤2.
Now let x, y, z∈[0,1]. By the latter claim:
x4+y5+(x−y)6≤2,y4+z5+(y−z)6≤2,z4+x5+(z−x)6≤2.
After summing up we get the desired inequality.
