For example, prove that for any numbers a,b,c greater than 1, we have 2(a+blogba+b+clogcb+c+alogac)⩾a+b+c9.
Solution
Prove that note, logba,logab,logac are all greater than 0, and their product equals 1. Thus, by the AM-GM inequality, we have =a+blogba+b+clogcb+c+alogac⩾33(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)logba⋅logcb⋅logac3(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)3⩾(a+b)+(b+c)+(c+a)9=21⋅a+b+c9,
