Which way to go?

Unread post by SANZEED » Sat Sep 08, 2012 11:28 pm

I need the solution of this problem. :|
Let $x,y,z$ be positive real numbers such that $x+y+z=3$. Prove that
$8(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z})+9\geq 10(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2})$.

At first I thought the problem would require some serious theorems.But my thought got in vain.You know,I know a little in inequalities though I tried what my best to find it with simple way.
$8(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z})+9 \geq 10(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2})$
$\rightarrow8(xy+yz+zx)+9xyz \geq 10(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2})xyz$
$\rightarrow8(xy+yz+zx) \geq xyz(10(x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2})-9)$
$\rightarrow8(xy+yz+zx) \geq xyz(10(x+y+z)^{2}-20(xy+yz+zx)-9)$
$\rightarrow8(xy+yz+zx) \geq xyz(90-9-20(xy+yz+zx))$
$\rightarrow8(xy+yz+zx) \geq 81xyz-20(xy+yz+zx)xyz$
$\rightarrow8(\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{y}+\frac{1}{z})+20(xy+yz+zx) \geq 81$
Can you prove it from there?
