Algebra Difficulty 6.1 National olympiad Find the answer
Example 11 For a,b,c∈R+, find
abc(a+b)2+(a+b+4c)2(a+b+c)
the minimum value.
A number or a short expression. Spacing and $ signs are ignored.
Solution
Solve: By the AM-GM inequality, we have
(a+b)2+(a+b+4c)2=(a+b)2+[(a+2c)+(b+2c)]2⩾(2ab)2+(22ac+22bc)2=4ab+8ac+8bc+16cab
Thus,
⩾==⩾abc(a+b)2+(a+b+4c)2⋅(a+b+c)abc4ab+8ac+8bc+16cab⋅(a+b+c)(c4+b8+a8+ab16)(a+b+c)8(2c1+b1+a1+ab1+ab1)(2a+2a+2b+2b+c)8(552a2b2c1)(5524a2b2c)=100.
Equality holds when a=b=2c>0. Therefore, the minimum value is 100.
