Problem 2.
Prove that for all nonnegative real numbers x,y
and z,
which are not all equal to
0,
the following inequality holds:
Determine all triples (x,y,z) for which the equality holds.
Solution
It is written:
, (*)
Let
x+y
2
+z
2
=a,
y+z
2
+x

=b,
z+x
2
+y
2
=c
inequality (*) reduces to AM-HM inequality
Equality holds for
a=b=c
The above is equivalent to
, from which we deduce all cases of equality, which are:
1)
,
