28 Let A, B, C be the three interior angles of a triangle, prove that: sin3A+sin3B+sin3C⩽233
Solution
28. Let A⩾60∘, then B+C⩽180∘−60∘=120∘. sin3A+sin3B+sin3C=sin3A+2sin23(B+C)cos23(B−C)⩽sin3A+2sin23(B+C). Let α=23(B+C), then 0⩽α⩽180∘, and A=180∘−(B+C)=180∘−32α. Therefore, sin3A+sin3B+sin3C⩽sin(3×180∘−2α)+2sinα=sin2α+2sinα=2sinα(1+cosα)=8sin2αcos32α. By the AM-GM inequality, we get sin2αcos32α=sin22αcos62α=31⋅3sin22αcos62α⩽31[43sin22α+cos22α+cos22α+cos22α]4⩽1633. Therefore, sin3A+sin3B+sin3C⩽233, and equality holds if and only if A=140∘,B=C=20∘.
