Problem
Let , and be non-negative real numbers such that Prove that .
Solution
Let , and , we have
We need to prove that or . Since , the inequality is equivalent to: Notice that implies . We distinguish two cases regarding the value of .
If then , so the first inequality is true.
If then , so we have to prove that On the other hand, implies , so inequality (2) is true. Therefore, the inequality (1) is true.
