1 About a nice inequality Cezar Lupu, Cosmin Pohoaţa In [1.](page 75), Gabriel Dospinescu, Mircea Lascu and Marian Tetiva gave two solutions to the following inequality: Let a, b, c be three nonnegative real numbers. Show that: a + b + c + abc + (1 + a)(1 + b)(1 + c). (1) On the Mathlinks Forum, Darij Grinberg proved a sharper inequality: For any a, b, c positive real numbers, the following inequality holds: a + b + c + abc + 1 (ab + bc + ca). () The solution given by Darij on the Mathlinks Forum is based on Schur s inequality written in the form: and AM-GM, (ab + bc + ca) (a + b + c ) 9abc a + b + c () abc + 1 = abc + abc + 1 a b c (4) From () and (4), the inequality () reduces to: a b c 9abc a + b + c, (5) which is equivalent to a + b + c abc, which is plain AM-GM. Vasile Cârtoaje gave another solution to (). (see [], page 17). In this paper, we shall give another solution to () via convex functions using Popoviciu s inequality. Theorem 1. (Tiberiu Popoviciu, 1965) Let I be an interval and f : I R a convex function. Then for any x, y, z I the following inequality is valid: ( ) [ ( ) ( ) ( )] x + y + z x + y y + z z + x f(x)+f(y)+f(z)+f f + f + f. Mathematical Reflections 1 (007) 1
2 A nice proof of this result can be found in []. Now, let us consider the function f : R (0, ), f(t) = exp(t). A simple calculation of derivatives shows that f is convex. By Popoviciu s inequality, we obtain: ( ) (x + y + z) exp(x) + exp(y) + exp(z) + exp which is equivalent to: [exp(x + y) + exp(y + z) + exp(z + x)]. exp (x) + exp (y) + exp (z) + exp (x) exp (y) exp (z) [exp(x) exp(y) + exp(y) exp(z) + exp(z) exp(x)]. Now, denote exp(x) = a > 0, exp(y) = b > 0, exp(z) = c > 0. We get the inequality: Now, again from AM-GM, a + b + c + a b c (ab + bc + ca). (6) abc + 1 = abc + abc + 1 a b c and (6), the conclusin follows. Now we give a few applications of (6). The first preoblem has been given at the first IMO Romanian test in 001 (proposed by Mircea Becheanu). A1. Let a, b, c three positive reals. Prove that (b + c a)(c + a b) abc( a + b + c). (7) Solution. One can verify by a simple calculation, that: (b + c a)(c + a b) = (ab + bc + ca) (a + b + c ). Now, by (6), we only need to see that a b c abc( a + b + c) (8) which follows from AM-GM, a + b + b abc = 6 abc. The next problem was one of the shortlisted problems of Romanian National Olympiad, 004 (proposed by Valentin Vornicu). Mathematical Reflections 1 (007)
3 A. Let a, b, c three positive reals. Show that abc( a + b + c) + (a + b + c) 4 abc(a + b + c). (9) Solution. By A1, we get: abc( a + b + c) (ab + bc + ca) (a + b + c ). (10) Now, we only need to prove that: which is evident. ab + bc + ca abc(a + b + c), (11) The next application is from the Romanian Junior Selection test for Balkan Olympiad 005 and it was proposed by the first author of this paper. A. Let x, y, z three positive reals such that Show that (x + y)(y + z)(z + x) = 1. xy + yz + zx 4. (1) Solution. We put x + y = c, z + x = b and y + z = a. It follows that x = b + c a, y = c + a b and z = a + b c. Now, we only need to prove that (b + c a)(c + a b). (1) which is equivalent to (ab + bc + ca) a + b + c +. But, since abc = 1 this last inequality is a simple consequence of (6). The following problem is quite hard. It was proposed by Hojoo Lee at the Asia-Pacific Olympiad in 004. A4. Let a, b, c three positive reals. Show that (a + )(b + )(c + ) 9(ab + bc + ca). (14) Solution. Expanding everything, the problem reduces to (abc) + (a b + b c + c a ) + 4(a + b + c ) + 8 9(ab + bc + ca). (15) Mathematical Reflections 1 (007)
4 From the evident inequalities (a + b + c ) (ab + bc + ca) and (a b + b c + c a ) + 6 4(ab + bc + ca), we only need to prove that (abc) + a + b + c (ab + bc + ca). (16) Now, by (6), we only need to see that (abc) + a b c, which is AM-GM. The following problem was given by Titu Andreescu at the USA Selections test for IMO in 000. A5. Prove that for any positive real numbers a, b, c the following inequality holds a + b + c Solution. It is clear that abc max{( a b), ( b c), ( c a) } (17) So, we are left to prove that ( a b) + ( b c) + ( b c) max{( a b), ( b c), ( c a) } a + b + c + abc ( ab + bc + ca) (18) which is (1). Thus the problem is solved. The next problem is a geometric inequality due to George Polya and Gabor Szego. A6. Prove that if a, b, c are the sidelenghts of a triangle and S its area, then abc Solution. The given inequality is equivalent to Now, using (6) we only need to prove that ( 4S ) / (19) a b c 4S. (0) (ab + bc + ca) (a + b + c ) 4S. (1) But, this inequality is equivalent to Hadwiger-Finsler inequality (see [4.]) a + b + c 4S + (a b) + (b c) + (c a) () Mathematical Reflections 1 (007) 4
