Áp dụng BĐT \(\frac{1}{ab}\ge\frac{4}{\left(a+b\right)^2}\) với a , b > 0 ta có :
\(\frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{c}{d+a}=\frac{a\left(d+a\right)+c\left(b+c\right)}{\left(b+c\right)\left(d+a\right)}=\frac{ad+a^2+bc+c^2}{\left(b+c\right)\left(d+a\right)}\ge\frac{4\left(ad+a^2+bc+c^2\right)}{\left(a+b+c+d\right)^2}\) ( 1 )
\(\frac{b}{c+d}+\frac{d}{a+b}=\frac{b\left(a+b\right)+d\left(c+d\right)}{\left(a+b\right)\left(c+d\right)}=\frac{ab+b^2+cd+d^2}{\left(a+b\right)\left(c+d\right)}\ge\frac{4\left(ab+b^2+cd+d^2\right)}{\left(a+b+c+d\right)^2}\) ( 2 )
Từ ( 1 ) và ( 2 ) cộng theo từng vế:
\(\Rightarrow\frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{b}{c+d}+\frac{c}{d+a}+\frac{d}{a+b}\ge\frac{4\left(ab+bc+cd+ad+a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2\right)}{\left(a+b+c+d\right)^2}\)
Cần chứng minh rằng \(\frac{\left(ab+bc+cd+ad+a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2\right)}{\left(a+b+c+d\right)^2}\ge\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow2\left(ab+bc+cd+ad+a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2\right)\ge\left(a+b+c+d\right)^2\)
\(\Rightarrow2ab+2bc+2cd+2ad+2a^2+2b^2+2c^2+2d^2\ge a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2+2ab+2ac+2ad+2bc+2cd+2bd\)
\(\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2\ge2ac+2bd\)
\(\Rightarrow a^2-2ac+c^2+b^2-2bd+d^2\ge0\)
\(\Rightarrow\left(a-c\right)^2+\left(b-d\right)^2\ge0\left(đpcm\right)\)
Vậy \(\frac{ab+bc+cd+ad+a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2}{\left(a+b+c+d\right)^2}\ge\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow\frac{4\left(ab+bc+cd+ad+a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2\right)}{\left(a+b+c+d\right)^2}\ge2\)
Vì \(\frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{b}{c+d}+\frac{c}{d+a}+\frac{d}{a+b}\ge\frac{4\left(ab+bc+cd+ad+a^2+b^2+c^2+d^2\right)}{\left(a+b+c+d\right)^2}\)
Vậy \(\frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{b}{c+d}+\frac{c}{d+a}+\frac{d}{a+b}\ge2\)
