Áp dụng BĐT cosi:
\(\left(a+\dfrac{1}{a}\right)\left(b+\dfrac{1}{b}\right)4=ab+\dfrac{a}{b}+\dfrac{b}{a}+\dfrac{1}{ab}\\ \ge ab+\dfrac{1}{ab}+2\sqrt{\dfrac{a}{b}\cdot\dfrac{b}{a}}=ab+\dfrac{1}{ab}+2\)
Áp dụng tiếp BĐT cosi:
\(ab+\dfrac{1}{ab}=\left(16ab+\dfrac{1}{ab}\right)-15ab\\ \ge2\sqrt{\dfrac{16ab}{ab}}-15ab=8-15ab\\ \ge8-15\cdot\dfrac{a+b}{4}=8-15\cdot\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{17}{4}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow ab+\dfrac{a}{b}+\dfrac{b}{a}+\dfrac{1}{ab}\ge\dfrac{17}{4}+2=\dfrac{25}{4}\)
Dấu \("="\Leftrightarrow a=b=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
