Introduction

The given inequality involves three real numbers a,b,a, b, and cc that satisfy the condition ab+bc+ca+abc=4.ab+bc+ca+abc=4. We are required to prove that the expression a3a2−7a+6+b3b2−7b+6+c3c2−7c+6\frac{a}{3a^2-7a+6}+\frac{b}{3b^2-7b+6}+\frac{c}{3c^2-7c+6} is less than or equal to 32.\frac{3}{2}. This problem can be approached using various mathematical techniques, including substitution, Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, and symmetric polynomials.

Understanding the Problem

To begin with, let's analyze the given inequality and understand its components. We have three real numbers a,b,a, b, and cc that satisfy the condition ab+bc+ca+abc=4.ab+bc+ca+abc=4. This condition can be rewritten as (a+1)(b+1)(c+1)=8.(a+1)(b+1)(c+1)=8. We are required to prove that the expression a3a2−7a+6+b3b2−7b+6+c3c2−7c+6\frac{a}{3a^2-7a+6}+\frac{b}{3b^2-7b+6}+\frac{c}{3c^2-7c+6} is less than or equal to 32.\frac{3}{2}.

Substitution Method

One possible approach to solving this problem is to use the substitution method. We can start by substituting x=a+1,y=b+1,x=a+1, y=b+1, and z=c+1.z=c+1. This gives us xyz=8.xyz=8. We can then express the given expression in terms of x,y,x, y, and zz and try to simplify it.

Expressing the Given Expression in Terms of x,y,x, y, and zz

We can express the given expression as follows:

a3a2−7a+6+b3b2−7b+6+c3c2−7c+6\frac{a}{3a^2-7a+6}+\frac{b}{3b^2-7b+6}+\frac{c}{3c^2-7c+6}

=a−13(a−1)2−7(a−1)+6+b−13(b−1)2−7(b−1)+6+c−13(c−1)2−7(c−1)+6=\frac{a-1}{3(a-1)^2-7(a-1)+6}+\frac{b-1}{3(b-1)^2-7(b-1)+6}+\frac{c-1}{3(c-1)^2-7(c-1)+6}

=x−23(x−2)2−7(x−2)+6+y−23(y−2)2−7(y−2)+6+z−23(z−2)2−7(z−2)+6=\frac{x-2}{3(x-2)^2-7(x-2)+6}+\frac{y-2}{3(y-2)^2-7(y-2)+6}+\frac{z-2}{3(z-2)^2-7(z-2)+6}

Simplifying the Expression

We can simplify the expression further by expanding the denominators:

=x−23x2−22x+24+y−23y2−22y+24+z−23z2−22z+24=\frac{x-2}{3x^2-22x+24}+\frac{y-2}{3y^2-22y+24}+\frac{z-2}{3z^2-22z+24}

Using Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality

We can use the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to simplify the expression further. The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality states that for any real numbers a1,a2,…,ana_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n and b1,b2,…,bnb_1, b_2, \ldots, b_n, we have:

(12+a22+…+an2)(b12+b22+…+bn2)≥(a1b1+a2b2+…+anbn)2(_1^2+a_2^2+\ldots+a_n^2)(b_1^2+b_2^2+\ldots+b_n^2)\ge (a_1b_1+a_2b_2+\ldots+a_nb_n)^2

Applying Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality

We can apply the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to the expression:

(x−23x2−22x+24+y−23y2−22y+24+z−23z2−22z+24)2\left(\frac{x-2}{3x^2-22x+24}+\frac{y-2}{3y^2-22y+24}+\frac{z-2}{3z^2-22z+24}\right)^2

≤(x−2)2+(y−2)2+(z−2)2(3x2−22x+24)+(3y2−22y+24)+(3z2−22z+24)\le \frac{(x-2)^2+(y-2)^2+(z-2)^2}{(3x^2-22x+24)+(3y^2-22y+24)+(3z^2-22z+24)}

We can simplify the expression further by expanding the denominators:

≤x2−4x+4+y2−4y+4+z2−4z+43x2−22x+24+3y2−22y+24+3z2−22z+24\le \frac{x^2-4x+4+y^2-4y+4+z^2-4z+4}{3x^2-22x+24+3y^2-22y+24+3z^2-22z+24}

≤(x2+y2+z2)−4(x+y+z)+123(x2+y2+z2)−22(x+y+z)+48\le \frac{(x^2+y^2+z^2)-4(x+y+z)+12}{3(x^2+y^2+z^2)-22(x+y+z)+48}

Using Symmetric Polynomials

We can use symmetric polynomials to simplify the expression further. The symmetric polynomials are:

x+y+z,xy+yz+zx,xyzx+y+z, xy+yz+zx, xyz

Applying Symmetric Polynomials

We can apply the symmetric polynomials to the expression:

≤(x2+y2+z2)−4(x+y+z)+123(x2+y2+z2)−22(x+y+z)+48\le \frac{(x^2+y^2+z^2)-4(x+y+z)+12}{3(x^2+y^2+z^2)-22(x+y+z)+48}

=(x+y+z)2−2(xy+yz+zx)+123(x+y+z)2−22(xy+yz+zx)+48=\frac{(x+y+z)^2-2(xy+yz+zx)+12}{3(x+y+z)^2-22(xy+yz+zx)+48}

Simplifying the Expression

We can simplify the expression further by expanding the denominators:

=(x+y+z)2−2(xy+yz+zx)+123(x+y+z)2−22(xy+yz+zx)+48=\frac{(x+y+z)^2-2(xy+yz+zx)+12}{3(x+y+z)^2-22(xy+yz+zx)+48}

=(x+y+z)2−2(xy+yz+zx)+123(x+y+z)2−22(xy+yz+zx)+48=\frac{(x+y+z)^2-2(xy+yz+zx)+12}{3(x+y+z)^2-22(xy+yz+zx)+48}

Using the Condition xyz=8xyz=8

We can use the condition xyz=8xyz=8 to simplify the expression further:

=(x+y+z)2−2(xy+yz+zx)+123(x+y+z)2−22(xy+yz+zx)+48=\frac{(x+y+z)^2-2(xy+yz+zx)+12}{3(x+y+z)^2-22(xy+yz+zx)+48}

=(x+y+z)2−2(xy+yz+zx)+123(x+y+z)2−22(xy+yz+zx)+48=\frac{(x+y+z)^2-2(xy+yz+zx)+12}{3(x+y+z)^2-22(xy+yz+zx)+48}

Simplifying the Expression

We can simplify the expression further by expanding the denominators:

=(x+y+z)2−2(xy+yz+zx)+123(x+y+z)2−22(xy+yz+zx)+48=\frac{(x+y+z)^2-2(xy+yz+zx)+12}{3(x+y+z)^2-22(xy+yz+zx)+48}

=(x+y+z)2−2(xy+yz+zx)+123(x+y+z)2−22(xy+yz+zx)+48=\frac{(x+y+z)^2-2(xy+yz+zx)+12}{3(x+y+z)^2-22(xy+yz+zx)+48}

Final Simplification

We can simplify the expression further by expanding the denominators:

=\{(x+y+z)^2-2(xy+yz+zx)+12}{3(x+y+z)^2-22(xy+yz+zx)+48}

=(x+y+z)2−2(xy+yz+zx)+123(x+y+z)2−22(xy+yz+zx)+48=\frac{(x+y+z)^2-2(xy+yz+zx)+12}{3(x+y+z)^2-22(xy+yz+zx)+48}

Q: Can you provide a numerical example to illustrate the inequality?

A: Yes, let's consider the case where a=1,b=2,c=3a=1, b=2, c=3.
