Inequality

Algebra Level pending

Positive real numbers x x and y y are such that x + y = 2 x+y=2 . Find the maximum value of x 2 y 2 ( x 2 + y 2 ) x^2y^2(x^2+y^2) .


The answer is 2.

Since x , y > 0 x, y > 0 , we can apply AM-GM inequality and RMS-AM inequality respectively as follows:

x y x + y 2 = 1 x 2 y 2 1 Equality occurs when x = y = 1 \begin{aligned} \sqrt {xy} & \le \frac {x+y}2 = 1 \\ \implies x^2y^2 & \le 1 & \small {\color{#3D99F6}\text{Equality occurs when }x=y=1} \end{aligned}

x 2 + y 2 2 x + y 2 = 1 x 2 + y 2 2 Equality occurs when x = y = 1 \begin{aligned} \sqrt {\frac {x^2+y^2}2} & \le \frac {x+y}2 = 1 \\ \implies x^2+y^2 & \le 2 & \small {\color{#3D99F6}\text{Equality occurs when }x=y=1} \end{aligned}

x 2 y 2 ( x 2 + y 2 ) 2 \implies x^2y^2(x^2+y^2) \le \boxed{2} .

Using A M G M AM-GM inequality, x + y 2 x y 1 x y . \dfrac{x+y}{2}\geq\sqrt{xy}\Rightarrow 1\geq xy. Here in this case we take x y = 1 xy=1 since 1 1 is its max. value.
( x + y ) 2 = x 2 + y 2 + 2 x y x 2 + y 2 = 2. {(x+y)}^2=x^2+y^2+2xy\Rightarrow x^2+y^2=2.
Therefore,the maximum value of x 2 y 2 ( x 2 + y 2 ) = 1 2 ( 2 ) = 2 . x^2y^2(x^2+y^2)=1^2(2)=\boxed2.

good solution !
