Problem 027

Filed under: Uncategorized — KKKVVV @ 10:49 pm

Let a, b, c be positive real numbers and satisfying a\leq b\leq c. Prove that for k, s>0 we have:

\displaystyle \frac{a^{k}}{b^{s}}+\frac{b^{k}}{c^{s}}+\frac{c^{k}}{a^{s}}\geq \frac{b^{k}}{a^{s}}+\frac{c^{k}}{b^{s}}+\frac{a^{k}}{c^{s}}

 

Van khea   

Proof

We have a\leq b\leq c\Longrightarrow a^k\leq b^k\leq c^k ; k>0

Let \displaystyle f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{\frac{s}{k}}}; k, s>0

\displaystyle f''(x)=\frac{s}{k}(\frac{s}{k}+1)x^{-(\frac{s}{k}+2)}>0

 From the inequality by VanKhea for m=n=p\neq 0; a^k\leq b^k\leq c^k and f''(x)>0 we get

(c^k-b^k)f(a^k)-(c^k-a^k)f(b^k)+(b^k-a^k)f(c^k)\geq 0

\Longrightarrow\displaystyle \frac{a^{k}}{b^{s}}+\frac{b^{k}}{c^{s}}+\frac{c^{k}}{a^{s}}\geq \frac{b^{k}}{a^{s}}+\frac{c^{k}}{b^{s}}+\frac{a^{k}}{c^{s}}

(Van Khea):Problem 026

Filed under: Uncategorized — KKKVVV @ 9:08 am

Let a, b, c, k>0; a\leq b\leq c. Prove that:

\displaystyle \frac{a^k}{b}+\frac{b^k}{c}+\frac{c^k}{a}\geq \frac{b^k}{a}+\frac{c^k}{b}+\frac{a^k}{c}

Proof

Let \displaystyle f(x)=\frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{k}}} ; k>0

\displaystyle f''(x)=\frac{1}{k}(\frac{1}{k}+1)x^{-\frac{1}{k}-2}>0

From the conditional a\leq b\leq c ; k>0\Longrightarrow a^k\leq b^k\leq c^k

From the inequality by Van Khea for m=n=p\neq 0a^k\leq b^k\leq c^k and f''(x)>0 we get:

(c^k-b^k)f(a^k)-(c^k-a^k)f(b^k)+(b^k-a^k)f(c^k)\geq 0

\displaystyle \Longrightarrow \frac{c^k-b^k}{a}-\frac{c^k-a^k}{b}+\frac{b^k-a^k}{c}\geq 0

\Longrightarrow\displaystyle \frac{a^k}{b}+\frac{b^k}{c}+\frac{c^k}{a}\geq \frac{b^k}{a}+\frac{c^k}{b}+\frac{a^k}{c}

Therefor the proof is completed.

(Van Khea):Problem 017

Filed under: the new math — KKKVVV @ 5:26 pm

Let a\geq b\geq c>0. Prove that:

\displaystyle \frac{a^{k}b}{c}+\frac{b^{k}c}{a}+\frac{c^{k}a}{b}\geq a^k+b^k+c^k ; \forall{k\geq 1}

Proof

Let k=1 so we need to prove that

\displaystyle \frac{ab}{c}+\frac{bc}{a}+\frac{ca}{b}\geq a+b+c

From Cauchy’s inequality we have

\displaystyle \frac{ab}{c}+\frac{bc}{a}\geq 2\sqrt{\frac{ab^2c}{ca}}=2b

\displaystyle \frac{bc}{a}+\frac{ca}{b}\geq 2c

\displaystyle \frac{ca}{b}+\frac{ab}{c}\geq 2a

\displaystyle \Longrightarrow 2(\frac{ab}{c}+\frac{bc}{a}+\frac{ca}{b})\geq 2(a+b+c)

\displaystyle \Longrightarrow \frac{ab}{c}+\frac{bc}{a}+\frac{ca}{b}\geq a+b+c

Therefor with k=1 the inequality is trued.

Now we suppose that k>1

So the inequality above became

\displaystyle \frac{a^kb}{c}-a^k+\frac{b^kc}{a}-b^k+\frac{c^ka}{b}-c^k\geq 0

From the conditional we had a\geq b\geq c>0 so we can rewrite

\displaystyle ca(a-b)c^k-bc(a-c)b^k+ab(b-c)a^k\geq 0

We have a\geq b\geq c\Longrightarrow ab\geq ca\geq bc

Let m=ca ; n=bc; p=ab\Longrightarrow m\geq n; p\geq n

Let f(x)=x^k ; x>0 ; k>1

f''(x)=k(k-1)x^{k-2}>0

From the inequality by van khea for a\geq b\geq c>0; m\geq n; p\geq n; f''(x)>0 we get

m(a-b)f(c)-n(a-c)f(b)+p(b-c)f(a)\geq 0

\displaystyle \Longrightarrow ca(a-b)c^k-bc(a-c)b^k+ab(b-c)a^k\geq 0

Therefor the proof is completed.
