Let , where are positive real numbers and . Proof that
Solution
The inequality that we need to prove is equivalent with the inequality or with Using the inequality between arithmetic and geometric mean we have By the last inequality it is enough to prove that i.e. Let us note that , since is appearing on the both sides of the inequality and moreover holds Furthermore, it holds . Indeed, is appearing on the both sides of the inequality and moreover It holds , since so, we obtain
