Analysis: Since the original inequality is not homogeneous, we first homogenize it, i.e., transform it into
0⩽(xy+yz+zx)(x+y+z)−2xyz⩽277(x+y+z)3. Let f(x,y,z)=(xy+yz+zx)(x+y+z)−2xyz=ag3,1+bg3,2+cg3,3.
To quickly calculate the undetermined coefficients, note that
a=f(1,0,0),b=2f(1,1,0)c=f(1,1,1)
Thus, we have a=0,b=1,c=7.
Proof: Note that
(xy+yz+zx)−2xyz=(xy+yz+zx)(x+y+z)−2xyz=g3,2+7g3,3⩾0. Then 277−(xy+yz+zx)+2xyz=277(x+y+z)3−(xy+yz+zx).(x+y+z)+2xyz=277g3,1+271g3,2⩾0.
