Trước hết với x; y dương ta có \(x^3+y^3\ge xy\left(x+y\right)\)
Thật vậy, \(\) \(x^3+y^3-x^2y-xy^2\ge0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2\left(x-y\right)-y^2\left(x-y\right)\ge0\Leftrightarrow\left(x-y\right)^2\left(x+y\right)\ge0\) (luôn đúng)
Áp dụng: \(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a^3+b^3\ge ab\left(a+b\right)\\b^3+c^3\ge bc\left(b+c\right)\\a^3+c^3\ge ac\left(a+c\right)\end{matrix}\right.\) \(\Rightarrow2\left(a^3+b^3+c^3\right)\ge ab\left(a+b\right)+ac\left(a+c\right)+bc\left(b+c\right)\)
Mặt khác:
\(3\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)=\left(a+b+c\right)\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)\)
\(=a^3+b^3+c^3+ab\left(a+b\right)+ac\left(a+c\right)+bc\left(b+c\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow3\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)\le a^3+b^3+c^3+2\left(a^3+b^3+c^3\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2\le a^3+b^3+c^3\)
Dấu "=" khi \(a=b=c=1\)
