Need help on this 2

\[\large \sqrt[3]{\frac{(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)}{abc}}\geq\frac{4}{3}\bigg(\frac{a^2}{a^2+bc}+\frac{b^2}{b^2+ac}+\frac{c^2}{c^2+ab}\bigg)\] If \(a,b\) and \(c\) are positive reals, prove the inequality above.

I've proven (a+b)(b+c)(c+a)abc32\sqrt[3]{\frac{(a+b)(b+c)(c+a)}{abc}}\geq 2 So now I have to prove a2a2+bc+b2b2+ac+c2c2+ab32\frac{a^2}{a^2+bc}+\frac{b^2}{b^2+ac}+\frac{c^2}{c^2+ab}\leq\frac{3}{2} I've tried to prove it but then realised that what I was trying to prove is wrong, can somebody help me?

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

First can be proved easily using AM-GM inequality.

Yes just saw that

I proved it up to the lhs is greater than or equal to 427abc/( (a+b+c)^3+27abc)
