6 Given that x,y,z are positive real numbers. Prove: (1+y+z)21+xy+xz+(1+z+x)21+yz+yx+(1+x+y)21+zx+zy⩾1
Solution
6. By Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, (1+xy+xz)(1+xy+xz)⩾(1+y+z)2⇒(1+y+z)21+xy+xz⩾x+y+zx. Similarly, (1+z+x)21+yz+yx⩾x+y+zy⋅(1+x+y)21+zx+zy⩾x+y+zz. Adding the above three inequalities yields (1+y+z)21+xy+xz+(1+z+x)21+yz+yx+(1+x+y)21+zx+zy⩾1
