Example 4 (Problem 508 of the 2nd Issue in 2000) Let x,y,zR+x, y, z \in \mathbf{R}^{+}, prove that: xy+z+yz+x+zy+x>2\sqrt{\frac{x}{y+z}}+\sqrt{\frac{y}{z+x}}+\sqrt{\frac{z}{y+x}}>2.

Solution

This inequality (Macedonia, 1995) is quite elegant, and a concise proof can be given using the AM-GM inequality. In fact,
xy+z+yz+x+zx+y=2x2x(y+z)+2y2y(z+x)+2z2z(x+y)2xx+(y+z)+2yy+(z+x)+2zz+(x+y)=2\begin{aligned} & \sqrt{\frac{x}{y+z}}+\sqrt{\frac{y}{z+x}}+\sqrt{\frac{z}{x+y}} \\ = & \frac{2 x}{2 \sqrt{x(y+z)}}+\frac{2 y}{2 \sqrt{y(z+x)}}+\frac{2 z}{2 \sqrt{z(x+y)}} \\ \geqslant & \frac{2 x}{x+(y+z)}+\frac{2 y}{y+(z+x)}+\frac{2 z}{z+(x+y)}=2 \end{aligned}

The equality case, by the problem's condition, is easily excluded.
In this problem, if we let x=b+ca,y=c+ab,z=a+bcx=b+c-a, y=c+a-b, z=a+b-c, we get Problem 548 from the 6th issue of 2001:

Given the side lengths a,b,ca, b, c of ABC\triangle ABC, prove:
b+caa+c+abb+a+bcc>22\begin{array}{l} \sqrt{\frac{b+c-a}{a}}+\sqrt{\frac{c+a-b}{b}}+\sqrt{\frac{a+b-c}{c}} \\ >2 \sqrt{2} \end{array}

If the triangle is restricted to being an acute or right triangle, we have a similar problem:

Given the side lengths a,b,ca, b, c of a non-obtuse ABC\triangle ABC, prove:
b2+c2a2a+c2+a2b2b+a2+b2c2c22\begin{array}{l} \frac{\sqrt{b^{2}+c^{2}-a^{2}}}{a}+\frac{\sqrt{c^{2}+a^{2}-b^{2}}}{b}+ \\ \frac{\sqrt{a^{2}+b^{2}-c^{2}}}{c} \geqslant 2 \sqrt{2} \end{array}
