Hello student,
Please find the answer to your question below
(a)First you need to prove that for positive values of x and y
x/y + y/x >= 2
(x - y)² + 2xy = x² + y²
Divide both sides by xy
(x - y)²/(xy) + 2 = x/y + y/x
Reduce both sides by 2
(x - y)²/(xy) = x/y + y/x - 2
Since LHS is squared and x > 0, y > 0, so xy > 0, so LHS nonnegative 0
0 <= x/y + y/x - 2
x/y + y/x >= 2
(a + b)/c + (a + c)/b + (b + c)/a
= a/c + b/c + a/b + c/b + b/a + c/a
= (a/b + b/a) + (a/c + c/a) + (b/c + c/a)
Since a > 0, b > 0, c > 0, they satisfy the above inequality
Thus
(a + b)/c + (a + c)/b + (b + c)/a >= 2 + 2 + 2
(a + b)/c + (a + c)/b + (b + c)/a >= 6
Multiply both sides by abc
(a + b)abc/c + (a + c)abc/b + (b + c)abc/a >= 6abc
(a + b)ab + (a + c)ac + (b + c)bc >= 6abc..............(1)
also we know that as AM>= GM
(a3+b3+c3)/3>=(a3b3c3)1/3
so a3+b3+c3>=3abc...................(2)
Hence from 1 and 2
2(a3+b3+c3)>=bc(b+c)+ca(c+a)+ab(a+b)
(b) from theorem of inequalities
(a0+1+2+b0+1+2+c0+1+2)/3>((a0+b0+c0)/3)((a1+b1+c1)/3)((a2+b2+c2)/3)
Hence (a3+b3+c3)/3>(a+b+c)(a2+b2+c2)/9
(c)As we know AM>HM
(a+b)/2>2ab/a+b
slly(b+c)/2>2bc/b+c
(a+c)/2>2ac/a+c
By adding above 3 equations we get
(bc/b+c)+(ca/c+a)+(ab/a+b)<(a+b+c)/2
(d)As we know that AM>HM
(a+b)/2>2ab/a+b
by reversing lhs and rhs we get
(2/a+b)<(a+b)/2ab
similarly (2/c+a)<(c+a)/2ca
(2/b+c)<(b+c/2bc)
by adding all the above we get
(2/a+b)+(2/b+c)+(2/c+a)<(1/a+1/b+1/c)
Hence a,b,c,d are true
