Áp dụng Côsi:
\(a^4+a^4+a^4+1\ge4\sqrt[4]{\left(a^4\right)^3}=4a^3\)
\(\Rightarrow3\left(a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4\right)\ge4\left(a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3\right)-1\)
Ta chứng minh: \(a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3\ge4\)
Theo Côsi: \(a^3+1+1\ge3\sqrt[3]{a^3}=3a\)
\(\Rightarrow a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3+2.4\ge3\left(a+b+c+d\right)=3.4\)
\(\Rightarrow a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3\ge4\)
\(\Rightarrow3\left(a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4\right)\ge4\left(a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3\right)-4\ge3\left(a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow a^4+b^4+c^4+d^4\ge a^3+b^3+c^3+d^3\)
