Hi,

I thought since 8 is the minimum value LHS can have, we may write like that.

Re: Nice Inequality

Hi;

For anyone else wishing to work on the problem here it is latexed.


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Nice Inequality

I thinks idea of gAr is wrong and can't use it to prove inequality. It can solve by Cauchy Schwarz Inequality and AM-GM Inequality very beautiful.
