Áp dụng bất đẳng thức \(AM-GM\) cho 2 số dương ta có:
\(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}\dfrac{a+b}{2}\ge\sqrt{ab}\\\dfrac{b+c}{2}\ge\sqrt{bc}\\\dfrac{a+c}{2}\ge\sqrt{ac}\end{matrix}\right.\)
Cộng theo 3 vế ta có:
\(\dfrac{a+b}{2}+\dfrac{b+c}{2}+\dfrac{a+c}{2}\ge\sqrt{ab}+\sqrt{bc}+\sqrt{ac}\)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{1}{2}a+\dfrac{1}{2}b+\dfrac{1}{2}b+\dfrac{1}{2}c+\dfrac{1}{2}a+\dfrac{1}{2}c\ge\sqrt{ab}+\sqrt{bc}+\sqrt{ac}\)
\(\Rightarrow a+b+c\ge\sqrt{ab}+\sqrt{bc}+\sqrt{ac}\left(đpcm\right)\)
\(a=b=c\Leftrightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a=b\\b=c\\a=c\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}\left(a-b\right)^2=0\\\left(b-c\right)^2=0\\\left(a-c\right)^2=0\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a^2+b^2=2ab\\b^2+c^2=2bc\\a^2+c^2=2ac\end{matrix}\right.\)
Cộng theo 3 vế ta có:
\(a^2+b^2+b^2+c^2+a^2+c^2=2ab+2bc+2ac\)
\(\Rightarrow2\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)=2\left(ab+bc+ac\right)\)
\(\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2=ab+bc+ac\)
Ngược lại,khi \(a\ne b\ne c\) thì \(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}a^2+b^2>2ab\\b^2+c^2>2bc\\a^2+c^2>2ac\end{matrix}\right.\) ta có thể dễ dàng cm được \(a^2+b^2+c^2>ab+bc+ac\)
