We have 3 non-negative real numbers a , b , c such that a b c = 1 .
When the maximum value of the expression
2 a b + 2 a c + 2 b c + a 2 + b 2 + c 2 2
is expressed in the form y x for coprime positive integers x and y
What is the value of x + y ?

Hi friend Martinoni, i like very much your resolução, congratulations, i love you, but i queria desgostar dela <3
EU SOU DO BRASIL COM S BRILLIANT NÃO É TÃO BRILLIANT ASSIM EM
Perfect solution!!
Oloco hein
2 a b + 2 a c + 2 b c + a 2 + b 2 + c 2 2
For is maxima we need to calculate minima of 2 a b + 2 a c + 2 b c + a 2 + b 2 + c 2
By AM-GM
⇒ 3 a b + b c + c a ≥ 3 ( a b c ) 2 ⇒ a b + b c + c a ≥ 1 × 3 ⇒ 2 a b + 2 b c + 2 c a ≥ 6
Again by AM GM
⇒ 3 a 2 + b 2 + c 2 ≥ 3 ( a b c ) 2 ⇒ 3 a 2 + b 2 + c 2 ≥ 1 ⇒ a 2 + b 2 + c 2 ≥ 3 ⇒ 2 a b + 2 a c + 2 b c + a 2 + b 2 + c 2 2 ≤ 6 + 3 2 ⇒ 2 a b + 2 a c + 2 b c + a 2 + b 2 + c 2 2 ≤ 9 2
⇒ x + y = 1 1
First, note that the expression a b c a + b + c = a b 1 + a c 1 + b c 1 . Then, multiply by a + b + c again to obtain a b a + b + c + a c a + b + c + b c a + b + c = b 1 + a 1 + a b c + c 1 + a c b + a 1 + b c a + c 1 + b 1 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + b c a + a c b + a b c . We take the reciprocal of this exression to obtain a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + b c a + a c b + a b c 1 , and mulitply by a b c 1 = 1 1 to obtain 2 b c + 2 a b + 2 a c + a 2 + b 2 + c 2 1 , then multiply by 2 to obtain the desired expression. Thus, our expression is equal to ( a + b + c ) 2 2 , where a + b + c = 3 , Thus, we have 9 2 , and 2 + 9 = 1 1 .
I think that you will need to specify in the question that a , b , c are non-negative integers. Otherwise, we could have, say, a = 1 , b = c = − 1 , making the expression equal to 2 > 9 2 .
If a , b , c are all non-negative integers, then by the AM-GM inequality, given the condition a b c = 1 , we can indeed show that ( a + b + c ) ≥ 3 , thus implying that
( a + b + c ) 2 2 ≤ 9 2 .
We know that A.M. > G.M.
So (a+b+c)/3 > 1 which gives a+b+c is always greater than or equal to 3. Thus least value of a+b+c is 3
Now 2 / (2ab +2bc + 2ca + a^2 + b^2 + c^2) = 2/(a+b+c)^2 thus its max value is possible when a+b+c have its least value i.e. 3
So max value of expression is 2/9
therefore 2+9 = 11
(2ab + 2ac +2bc + a^{2} +b^{2} +c^{2}) =( \boxed{(a + b +c )^{2}) and min value of( \boxed{(a + b +c )^{2}) is 3

a b c = 1 so 1 ≥ a , 1 ≥ b , 1 ≥ c
Implies that the maximum value of a + b + c is 3 Where a = b = c = 1
Note that:
2 a b + 2 a c + 2 b c + a 2 + b 2 + c 2 2 = ( a + b + c ) 2 2
= ( 3 ) 2 2 = 9 2
So x = 2 and y = 9
x + y = 1 1
