Lot of AM GM Inequalities..

I wiill put up some good questions of AM GM inequality only...

So that you all can try them.. some of themwill be very very easy.. others will be a bit more tough...

So try them all one by one..

I will try to post them in order of difficulty.

Easy one liners:

A1) \frac{a+b}{a}+\frac{b+c}{b}+\frac{c+a}{c}

A2) \frac{a-b}{a}+\frac{b-c}{b}+\frac{c-a}{c}

A3) Prove: a^2(1+b^2)+b^2(1+c^2)+c^2(1+a^2)>6abc

A4) Prove : AM HM inequality for 3 numbers a,b,c

Its 1/1+a + 1/1+b + 1/1+c ≥ 2 not = 2 I think we can still substitute this but the mistake is in 4 th step :(

"I 'm not too sure about my solution"

niether am I. u've messed up with the signs i think

we can't use substitutions like that

hmm, check your second step.

Its 1/1+a + 1/1+b + 1/1+c ≥ 2 not = 2

\frac{a+b+c+3}{3} \ge \frac{3}{ \frac{1}{a+1}+ \frac{1}{b+1}+ \frac{1}{c+1}} \ From\ AM-HM \\\\ Substituting \ in \ RHS \ denominator \ 2 \\\\ \frac{a+b+c+3}{3} \ge \frac{3}{2} \\\\ a+b+c \ge \frac{3}{2} \\ From \ AM-GM \ we \ have\ a+b+c \ge 3 \sqrt[3]{abc} \\ \frac{1}{2} \ge \sqrt[3]{abc} \\ \frac{1}{8} \ge abc I 'm not too sure about my solution. Wil try properly after english test tommorow :)

C1) i got the ans as

6/(27X4)1/6

Philip Calvert ·

bhaiyya pls correct

C3

waise shayad (...)<=108 kuch

yes now sure....."max"(a.b^2.c^3) = 108

kya bhaiyya apne hi site ke test ka sawaal de diya woh bhi apni site ke hi studdents ko [3]

OKIEEEE.... grave mistake!! thanx!

Skygirl.. the mistake in your method is that

AM GM holds when all the terms are equal..

your case equality never holds

because 3=a/b=b/c=c/a is not possible

2nd wala i am getting zeRO !

GIVEN STUFF = .[3 - (b/a + c/b + a/c)]

we minimise the (..) thing which is 3.

so ... given question is <= 0.

1
Philip Calvert ·

b/a + c/b + a/c > = 3

=> [3 + b/a + c/b + a/c] >= 6
[1]

shayad yeh behtar hai par us tarike se kyon nahi aaya is interesting point

1
skygirl ·

1.) 1/4 .[3 + b/a + c/b + a/c] >= [3.b/a.c/b.a/c]1/4

=> [3 + b/a + c/b + a/c] >= 4.(3)1/4

=> given stuff >= 4.(3)1/4

hope i am corect ?

Philip Calvert ·

yeah sorry i forgt the six..
woh denominator mein hi kho jata hai har baar

baqi bhi sahi karte hain ab

skygirl ·

f(x,y,z) = x/y + (y/z)1/2 + (z/x)1/3

let x/y=p, y/z= q2 , z/x=r3

now, g(p,q,r)= p + q + r

1/6 (p + q/2 + q/2 + r/3 + r/3 + r/3) ≥ [p.(q/2)2(r/3)3]1/6

=> (p+q+r) ≥ 6. [1/(27X4)]1/6 .... [pq2r3=1]

=> x/y + (y/z)1/2 + (z/x)1/3 ≥ 6. [1/(27X4)]1/6

=> f(x,y,z)min = 6. [1/(27X4)]1/6

right i hope....

Lokesh Verma ·

well tapan i think there is a theorem of that kind..

I had read it long back dont remember now..

for symmetric functions, maxima minimas do exist when the terms are all equal.. and that is true from AM GM inequality alone.. (Because the equality holds when all terms are equal)

But I am not 100% sure... If i find that thoerem again i will let you know :)

A1 was much tougher than C1 probably [4]
joking [4]
but almost same not easy at all

A1 > = 6 after this A2 bcomes a sitter

A2 < = 0 (maybe i imagined the opposite sign but it is not a typo)

but please check these answers anyone

now i realize that A2 WAS THE BEST OF THE LOT
especially for lazy souls like me
KYA KARE PEOPLE DONT NOTICE UNTIL CAPITALS OR BOLD IS DONE otherwise i hate using caps or bolds

Philip Calvert ·

:O

im getting f(x,y,z) >= 6 \sqrt[6]{\frac{1}{27.4}}
(error pointed out by sky)

that is 27 x 4

definitely this cant be correct someone else try this please

Philip Calvert ·

even C1 looks to be easy at first sight let me try that one .

tapanmast Vora ·

is da ans to A2 = 0 [7] tukka..... not woked out yet....

21
tapanmast Vora ·

I hav observed this (IT CAN B HORRIBLY WRONG) : "inequalities the equality occurs wen all the variables(if symmetrical) are equal"

IS THIS always TRU?? [7]

I'll add one: Prove that the polynomial P(x) = x3-3x+2 does not have any non-negative zeros

skygirl ·

well.. from the above graph.... for a>=0, a3-3a+2>=0 always..

from am-gm ... thimking..

Hari Shankar ·

I dont know what came over me to write such baloney

Anyway what i meant was prove for non-negative a,

a3 ≥ 3a-2

ok nishant bhaiya told...

@ sky [3][3][3]

@ prophet sir.... non negative zeros meaning non negative roots i believe
??

:'(

wat is non-negative 'zeros'...

non-negative part i understud... but wat is meant by zeros ?
