Algebra Difficulty 6.1 National olympiad Prove it
77. Given a,b,c>0, prove: b+2ca3+c+2ab3+a+2bc3⩾3a2+b2+c2. (1996 Ukrainian Mathematical Olympiad Problem)
Solution
77. b+2ca3+c+2ab3+a+2bc3=ab+2aca4+bc+2abb4+ac+2bcc4⩾ab+2ac+bc+2ab+ac+2bc(a2+b2+c2)2=(a2+b2+c2)⋅3(ab+bc+ac)a2+b2+c2
Given that a2+b2+c2⩾ab+bc+ac, therefore
b+2ca3+c+2ab3+a+2bc3⩾3a2+b2+c2
