Did the same way,,, so a=1/a,b=4/b,c=9/c,d=16/d,e=25/e And a,b,c,d,e is positive integer
I didn't understand the 2nd step
By Cauchy-Schwarz in Engel Form, we have:
( a + b + c + d + e ) ( a 1 + b 4 + c 9 + d 1 6 + d 2 5 ) ≥
( a + b + c + d + e ) ( a + b + c + d + e ( 1 + 4 + 9 + 1 6 + 2 5 ) 2 )
And ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 ) 2 = 2 2 5 .
By cauchy we have
⇒ { a a 1 + b b 4 + c c 9 + d d 1 6 + e e 2 5 } 2 ≤ { a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + d 2 + e 2 } { a 1 + b 4 + c 9 + d 1 6 + e 2 5 } ∴ ⇒ ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 ) 2 ≤ { a + b + c + d + e } { a 1 + b 4 + c 9 + d 1 6 + e 2 5 } ⇒ 2 2 5 ≤ { a + b + c + d + e } { a 1 + b 4 + c 9 + d 1 6 + e 2 5 }
Cauchy-Schwarz Buniakowsky is full name of this inequality...

By the form of Cauchy-Schwarz Inequality known as Titu's Lemma ,
( a + b + c + d + e ) ⋅ ( a 1 + b 4 + c 9 + d 1 6 + e 2 5 )
≥ ( a a 1 + b b 4 + c c 9 + d d 1 6 + e e 2 5 ) 2
≥ ( 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 ) 2
≥ 2 2 5
Hence, the minimum value is 2 2 5 .
The equality occurs where a 1 = b 2 = ⋯ = e 5 , so for example we can take a = 1 , b = 2 , c = 3 , d = 4 , e = 5 .
