Call the expression A, using AM-GM we get these following inequality a b c 3 ( 2 a + b ) + a b c ( 2 a + b ) 9 + a b c 2 3 a b \frac{ab}{c^3(2a+b)}+\frac{abc(2a+b)}{9}+\frac{abc^2}{3}\geq ab b c a 3 ( 2 b + c ) + a b c ( 2 b + c ) 9 + a 2 b c 3 b c \frac{bc}{a^3(2b+c)}+\frac{abc(2b+c)}{9}+\frac{a^2bc}{3}\geq bc c a b 3 ( 2 c + a ) + a b c ( 2 c + a ) 9 + a b 2 c 3 c a \frac{ca}{b^3(2c+a)}+\frac{abc(2c+a)}{9}+\frac{ab^2c}{3}\geq ca Combining 3 inequalities and we get A + 2 ( a b c ) 2 a b + b c + a c 3 ( a b c ) 2 3 A+2(abc)^2\geq ab+bc+ac\geq 3\sqrt[3]{(abc)^2} From the condition, we can prove that a b c 1 abc\geq 1 , that means there exist 3 number x , y , z > 0 x,y,z>0 satisfy a = x y ; b = y z ; c = z x a=\frac{x}{y} ; b=\frac{y}{z} ;c=\frac{z}{x} , replace them into the inequality and we have A + 2 3 A+2\geq 3 A 1 \Leftrightarrow A\geq 1 The equality holds when a = b = c = 1 a=b=c=1 or x = y = z x=y=z
