Proving inequality $\sqrt{\frac{2a}{b+c}}+\sqrt{\frac{2b}{c+a}}+\sqrt{\frac{2c}{a+b}} \leq \sqrt{3 \left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{a}\right)}$

Question

In the pdf which you can download here I found the following inequality which I can't solve it.

Exercise 2.1.11 Let $a,b,c \gt 0$. Prove that $$\sqrt{\frac{2a}{b+c}}+\sqrt{\frac{2b}{c+a}}+\sqrt{\frac{2c}{a+b}} \leq \sqrt{3 \left(\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{c}+\frac{c}{a}\right)}.$$

Thanks :)

Answer 1

Using cauchy Schwarz or AM-QM we have that $$LHS \leq \sqrt{3\sum_{cyc}\frac{2a}{b+c}}$$ It suffices to prove $$\sum_{cyc}\frac{2a}{b+c}\leq \sum_{cyc}\frac ab$$ By homogeneity we may suppose $a+b+c=1$.

Clearing out denominators this reduces to show $$2\sum_{cyc}a(a+b)(a+c)abc\leq \sum_{cyc}a^2c(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)$$ which is equivalent to $$0\leq\sum_{cyc} a^2c(a+c)(a+b)(b+c-2bc)$$ which is true by AM-GM and the fact that $a, b, c\leq 1$.
