Analyzing the enounce we see that we have a problem of extremum with conditions defined by the function : f ( abc,, ) = a+ b+ c, and the link : F( abc,, ) = a+ b+ c = We shall find the extremum points of the function f(a,b,c) with the link F(a,b,c)=., considering the Lagrange function L( abc,,, λ) = f ( abc,, ) + λf( abc,, ), and calculating their stationary points. In these points the partial derivatives of the first order of the function L must be zero:
3 L = + λ = a L = + λ = b b L = + λ = c c a+ b+ c= This system has the solution : λ=, b=, c=, a= 4 4 α = (,,, ) 4 4, which is the stationary point of the function L. It follows that the function f has the stationary point with conditions : A (,, ) 4 4, corresponding to the Lagrange multiplier λ= The differential of second order of the Lagrange function in an arbitrary point of the domain of definition is : L L L L L L =, =, =, = = = a b 4b b c 9c c a b b c c a d L= da db dc () 4b b 9c c But, by differentiatind the link it follows :, da+db+dc=, we get dc=-db-da and replacing in (), we obtain : The hessian of this differential is : H ( ) L α, and has the principal minors <, >, so that, by the Sylvester criterion d L( α ) is a negatively definite quadratic form. The preceding results prove that A (,, ) 4 4 is a point of maximum with conditions of the function f; therefore we have : 5 f ( abc,, ) f (,, ) = + + = + = M Similarly, we have
4 g abc a b c F abc a b c (,, ) = + +, (,, ) = + + = L ( abc,, ) = g( abc,, ) + λf( abc,, ) L = + λ= a L = + λ = b b+ c L = + λ= c 6 c b+ c a+ b+ c= λ=, a= +, b=, c= 4 4 β = ( +,,, ), B( +,, ) g( abc,, ) g( +,, ) = + + = + = M So, in conclusion we M= M S We denote by b = x a,a# c = y a, then the inequality becomes : Let x+ y= s, xy= p, then we ( + x+ y)( x+ xy+ y)( + x + y ) ( + x + y ) + s p + s s+ p + s ps ( ) ( )( )( ) Consider the function ) we show that : s f R f p = + s p + s s+ p + s ps 4 :[, ], ( ) ( ) ( )( )( ) f = + s + s s + s = s s + s + s s () ( ) ( )( )( ) Calculate ' 5 4 f () = 6s 5s + 8s + 4s ; '' 4 f () = s s + 4s + 4 ''' f s s s s s s () = = ( 5 + 4)

But f () =, we have f ( x ) >, for any x [,], result c x x x a+ b > c, x [,],. For x=, obtain a+ b > c ' ' ' ) Cosine theorem in the triangle ABC, we get ' b+ c a ' c+ a b ' a+ b c cos A =,cos B =,cosc = bc ac ab ' ' ' ( b+ c a)( c+ a b)( a+ b c) (p a)(p b)(p c) cosa cosb cosc = = = 8abc 8abc ( p a)( p b)( p c) ( p b)( p c) ( p a)( p c) ( p a)( p b) A = = sin, abc bc ac ab, where p=a+b+c

8 ( + a)( ) 6 a + a+ It suffices to prove that : abcd abcd By the means inequality it follows that a b c d abcd abcd , which is obvious. O In trianglel ABC we use the notations:bc=a,ac=b,ab=c BX CY AZ m=, n=, p=, where m, n, p (,) and from the Ceva s theorem, we deduce : BC CA AB m n p mnp ( m)( n)( p) m n p = =,(*) In triangle CXY, from the theorem of cosinuses, we get : = + cos CXY XY CX CY CXCY C XY = a ( m) + bn ab( mn ) cosc ab( mn ) ab( mn ) cosc = ab( mn ) ( cos C) Similarly, we have : = + AYZ YZ AY AZ AYAZ cosa YZ = b ( n) + c p bc( n) p cosa bc( n) p bc( n) p cosc = bc( n) p( cos A) = + BZX ZX BZ BX BZBX cosb ZX = c ( p) + a m ac( p) mcosa ac( p) m ac( p) mcosa = ac( p) m( cos A) Using (*) and the above relations, the inequality becomes
