Hi Speed Racer,

 

Consider,

x2/y + y, and apply AM-GM inequality:

You will get

x2/y + y ≥ 2x

Apply this cyclically, and add, you will get (x2/y+y)+(y2/z+z)+(z2/x+x)≥2(x+y+z)

And hence the given inequality: (x2/y)+(y2/z)+(z2/x)≥(x+y+z).

 

Hope that helps.

 

All the best.

Regards,

Ashwin (IIT Madras).

basit ali

LHS=X2/y+y2/z+z2/x

     =x3z+y3x+z3y/ xyz     ( suppose put min. value of x,y,z i.e= 0)

    then it is ∞ and when putiing any other value of those i.e. 1 then it becomes 3 i.e  equal to RHS.

                                or

   put the AM- GM inequality then it also clear this statement.!!!

       if u like it plz approve it!!!!
