Problem 1250

National olympiad, first round
Algebra Difficulty 6.4 Prove it

18. Let x1,x2,,xnx_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n} be positive numbers, and i=1nxi=1\sum_{i=1}^{n} x_{i}=1, prove that:
(i=1nxi)(i=1n11+xi)n2n+1\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \sqrt{x_{i}}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x_{i}}}\right) \leqslant \frac{n^{2}}{\sqrt{n+1}}

This one wants a proof. Work it on paper, then read the official solution and mark yourself. Be honest about it: the record is only any use to you if it is.
