Prove the inequality

83 Views Asked by At

Thesis: $$\frac{a}{a^2+1}+\frac{b}{b^2+1}+\frac{c}{c^2+1}\leq 9/10$$ Assumptions: $$a+b+c=1$$ $$ a,b,c \geq -\frac{3}{4}$$ Can someone give me a hint? I suppose there is a tricky way, not using derivatives of the function of two variables

Let $a=\frac{x}{3}$, $b=\frac{y}{3}$ and $c=\frac{z}{3}$.

Hence, $x+y+z=3$, $\{x,y,z\}\subset[-\frac{9}{4},+\infty)$ and we need to prove that $$\sum_{cyc}\frac{x}{x^2+9}\leq\frac{3}{10}$$ or $$\sum_{cyc}\left(\frac{1}{10}-\frac{x}{x^2+9}\right)\geq0$$ or $$\sum_{cyc}\left(\frac{(x-1)(x-9)}{x^2+9}+\frac{4}{5}(x-1)\right)\geq0$$ or $$\sum_{cyc}\frac{(x-1)^2(4x-9)}{x^2+9}\geq0.$$ Done!
