Proving a conditional algebraic inequality

36 Views Asked by At

Let $x,y \in (0,1)$, and suppose that $$ x^2-2x+y^2<0. $$

How to prove that $$ -x^3-xy^2+4y^2 \ge 0. $$ holds?

The motivation comes from a certain geometric problem (a bit long to describe here).

The statement is not true because $(x,y) = (0.1, 0.01)$ satisfies the first inequality but not the second one.
