Áp dụng BĐT Côsi cho 2 số dương, ta có:
\(3a+5b=12\ge2\sqrt{3a.5b}=2\sqrt{15ab}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\sqrt{15ab}\le6\)
\(\Leftrightarrow ab\le\dfrac{36}{15}\)
Dấu "=" \(\Leftrightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}3a=5b\\3a+5b=12\end{matrix}\right.\) \(\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a=2\\b=\dfrac{6}{5}\end{matrix}\right.\)
