Example 8. Let be positive numbers, prove that
Solution
Proof: Let , then the original inequality is equivalent to
Notice that
By Cauchy's inequality, we have
From the previous problem, we know
Adding the above two inequalities yields the proof.
Proof: When are positive real numbers, we can consider the inverse Ravi substitution to simplify the problem.
