Algebra
Let a, b, c be positive real unequal numbers.
Using the results 1) a^2 + b^2 > 2ab
2) b^2 + c^2 > 2bc
3) c^2 + a^2 > 2ac
Deduce that a^2 - ab + b^2 > ab
Deduce that a^2 + b^2 + c^2 > bc + ac + ab
Show that a^3 + b^3 > ab(a + b)

Re: Algebra
I will help you with yur first prob whenever I will figure out the second and third one I will post it to u
Problem 1:
Since
a^2+b^2>2ab
a^2+b^2>ab+ab
a^2+b^2-ab>ab

Re: Algebra
2) Add all three inequalities:
(a2 + b2) + (b2 + c2) + (c2 + a2) > 2ab + 2bc + 2ac
2(a2 + b2 + c2) > 2(ab + bc + ac)
a2 + b2 + c2 > ab + bc + ac
3)Find inequalities for a3 and b3 separately, then add them together:
a2 + b2 > 2ab
a2 > 2ab - b2
a3 > 2a2b - ab2
Similarly:
b3 > 2ab2 - a2b
Thus:
a3 + b3 > a2b + ab2
a3 + b3 > ab(a + b)
