Let's try again

Algebra Level 5

k = 1 n 2 x k x k + 1 + x n x n 3 > k = 1 n x k 2 \large\sum_{k=1}^{n-2}x_kx_{k+1}+x_nx_{n-3}>\sum_{k=1}^{n}x_k^2

Find the smallest positive integer n 4 n\geq4 such that the above inequality holds for some real numbers x 1 , , x n x_1,\ldots,x_n .


I have posted variants of this problem before, but I'm still waiting for a solution.


The answer is 10.
