Inequality - easy

8^{\frac{1}{n}} + 27^{\frac{1}{n}} + 64^{\frac{1}{n}} > 12^{\frac{1}{n}} + 32^{\frac{1}{n}} + 36^{\frac{1}{n}}

for n>1

we have to prove

f(x)=8x+27x+64x-12x-32x-36x > 0

for x≡(0,1)

f(0)=0 and f(1) >0

f'(x) is -ve for x≡(0,1) and f'(x)=0 for x=0

calculus sort of kills the fun. any algebraic method?

same as for n<1

8^{n}+27^{n}+64^{n} > 12^{n}+32^{n}+36^{n}

a=2
b=3
c=4

Thus the clue is

a^3+b^3+c^3>2(ab+bc+ca)

but i cant unjumble the clue :(

sir kindly reply to your previous Qs posted

dimensions (dimentime) ·

let\ 2^{\frac{1}{n}}=a,3^{\frac{1}{n}}=b,4^{\frac{1}{n}}=c\\ for\ every\ n>1,we\ have\ c>b>a\\ so\ by\ rearrangement\ inequality\ we\ have,\\ a^3+b^3+c^3 > a^2b+b^2c+c^2a \\ so\ we\ have\\ 8^{\frac{1}{n}}+27^{\frac{1}{n}}+64^{\frac{1}{n}}>12^{\frac{1}{n}}+32^{\frac{1}{n}}+36^{\frac{1}{n}}

do correct if something is wrong

wrt #4 i cudnt get u sir a=2 ???

algebraic method ( n≡(0,1) )

A= (3/2)n
B= 2n

eq reduces to

1+A3+B3-A-A2B-B2 > 0

ie (B2-A2)(B-1) + (A2-1)(A-1) > 0

which is true always as B>A>1

@ dimensions sry i dint see ur post b4

i proceeded same way as uve done and then divided whole expression by a3
and substituted A=b/a
B=c/a

and then derived manually
i guess the abv is proof of the rearrangement inequality that u r talking about

@ prophet sir

its not always easy unless we know that there exists something called a rearrangement inequality
