b + c 3 a + a + b 5 c + a + c 4 b = ( a + b + c ) ( a + b 5 + a + c 4 + b + c 3 ) − 1 2 = 2 1 ( x 5 + y 3 + z 4 ) ( x + y + z ) − 1 2
where x = a + b , y = b + c , z = a + c . Then by setting X = 5 x , etc.
2 1 ( X 5 + Y 3 + Z 2 ) ( 5 X + 3 Y + 2 Z ) − 1 2 ≥ 2 1 ( 2 + 3 + 5 ) 2 ( X 1 ) 2 + 3 + 5 5 X 2 + 3 + 5 5 ( Y 1 ) 2 + 3 + 5 3 Y 2 + 3 + 5 3 ( Z 1 ) 2 + 3 + 5 2 Z 2 + 3 + 5 2 − 1 2 = 2 1 ( 2 + 3 + 5 ) 2 − 1 2
where I used the weighted AM - GM.
Anybody have a simpler solution?
@Christopher Criscitiello , Your solution is nice. But you should use \large and \dfrac in your LaTeX , so that it becomes more clear.
Cauchy scwharz
I mean use cauchy after you factorize it
How about this? Let the expression whose minimum we have to find be Q, P= 3c/(b+c) + 5b/(a+b) + 4a/(a+c) And N is same as P just in place of c,b,a in numerator use b,a,c. Now P+N=12, and apply Am gm on Q+P and on Q+N, then add those together and substitute the value for P+N (Sorry I don't know how to use latex, this is messed up)

Given expression is :
b + c 3 a + 3 + c + a 4 b + 4 + a + b 5 c + 5 − 1 2
b + c 3 a + 3 b + 3 c + c + a 4 b + 4 c + 4 a + a + b 5 c + 5 a + 5 b − 1 2
[ b + c 3 + c + a 4 + a + b 5 ] [ a + b + c ] − 1 2
Now , using Titu's Lemma , we get ,
[ b + c 3 + c + a 4 + a + b 5 ] [ a + b + c ] − 1 2 ≥ 2 ( a + b + c ) [ 3 + 4 + 5 ] 2 ( a + b + c ) − 1 2
[ b + c 3 + c + a 4 + a + b 5 ] [ a + b + c ] − 1 2 ≥ 2 [ 3 + 4 + 5 ] 2 − 1 2
[ b + c 3 + c + a 4 + a + b 5 ] [ a + b + c ] − 1 2 ≥ 5 . 8 0 9
