Áp dụng bất đẳng thức Cauchy-Schwarz: \(NL=\left(a+\dfrac{1}{a}\right)^2+\left(b+\dfrac{1}{b}\right)^2\ge\dfrac{\left(a+\dfrac{1}{a}+b+\dfrac{1}{b}\right)^2}{2}=\dfrac{\left(1+\dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{1}{b}\right)^2}{2}\) Bất đẳng thức phụ: \(\dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{1}{b}\ge\dfrac{4}{a+b}\) ta có: \(NL\ge\dfrac{\left(1+\dfrac{1}{a}+\dfrac{1}{b}\right)^2}{2}\ge\dfrac{\left(1+\dfrac{4}{a+b}\right)^2}{2}=\dfrac{\left(1+4\right)^2}{2}=\dfrac{25}{2}\)Dấu "=" khi \(a=b=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
