Algebra Difficulty 6.2 National olympiad Prove it
Example 14.8 (Vasile) a,b,c∈R, satisfying a2+b2+c2=1, prove that
3+a2−2bc1+3+b2−2ca1+3+c2−2ab1⩽89
Solution
Proof
⇔∑4−(b+c)21⩽89⇔∑4−(b+c)2(b+c)2⩽23
By Cauchy inequality, we have
∑4−(b+c)2(b+c)2⩽∑4−2(b2+c2)(b+c)2=21∑(a2+b2)+(a2+c2)(b+c)2⩽21∑(a2+b2b2+a2+c2c2)=23
Hence, it is proved!
