Với mọi a;b;c ta luôn có:
\(\frac{2}{3}\left(a-b\right)^2\ge0\Leftrightarrow\left(a-b\right)^2\ge\frac{1}{3}\left(a-b\right)^2\)
\(\Rightarrow a^2+b^2\ge2ab+\frac{\left(a-b\right)^2}{3}\)
Tương tự: \(b^2+c^2\ge2bc+\frac{\left(b-c\right)^2}{3}\) ; \(c^2+a^2\ge2ca+\frac{\left(a-c\right)^2}{3}\)
Cộng vế với vế và rút gọn:
\(\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2\ge ab+bc+ca+\frac{\left(a-b\right)^2}{6}+\frac{\left(b-c\right)^2}{6}+\frac{\left(c-a\right)^2}{6}\ge ab+bc+ca+\frac{\left(a-b\right)^2}{26}+\frac{\left(b-c\right)^2}{6}+\frac{\left(c-a\right)^2}{2009}\)
Dấu "=" xảy ra khi \(a=b=c\)
