Algebra Level 5

x 4 y 2 + y 4 z 2 + z 4 t 2 + t 4 x 2 + 2016 x 4 y 4 z 4 t 4 \large x^4y^2+y^4z^2+z^4t^2+t^4x^2+2016x^4y^4z^4t^4

Let M M be the maximum value of the above expression for non-negative reals x , y , z , t x,y,z,t given x + y + z + t = 1 x+y+z+t=1 .

Given that M M can be expressed as a b \dfrac{a}{b} where a , b a, b are positive integers and gcd ( a , b ) = 1 \gcd(a,b)=1 .

Find a + b a+b .


The answer is 745.
