If a 4 + b 9 + c 1 6 + d 3 6 + e 4 9 = 8
find the minimum value of a + b + c + d + e
Details and assumptions :-
∙ a , b , c , d , e are positive real numbers.

Nice solution .Welcome

n → ∞ lim r = 1 ∏ n ( V e r y N i c e ) r
another approach
a + b + c + d + e = 2 . 2 a + 3 . 3 b + 4 . 4 c + 6 . 6 d + 7 . 7 e
A . M ≥ H . M
2 2 2 . 2 a + 3 . 3 b + 4 . 4 c + 6 . 6 d + 7 . 7 e ≥ a 4 + b 9 + d 3 6 + e 4 9 2 2
m i n = 8 2 2 2
a 4 + b 9 + c 1 6 + d 3 6 + e 4 9 ≥ a + b + c + d + e ( 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 ) 2
8 ≥ a + b + c + d + e 2 2 2
m i n = 8 2 2 2

@megh choksi your comment and my solution were both posted at the same time (Isn't it strange ???).

Really level5?? (little overrated) (no offense)
Yeah that simple, how can it be level 5?
Well it was just a basic application of Titu's Lemma. I can't believe this is still 170 points.
Let a 4 + b 9 + c 1 6 + d 3 6 + e 4 9 = S
By A M ≥ H M
2 2 2 × 2 a + 3 × 3 b + 4 × 4 c + 6 × 6 d + 7 × 7 e ≥ S 2 2
a + b + c + d + e ≥ 8 2 2 × 2 2
a + b + c + d + e ≥ 6 0 . 5
So ( a + b + c + d + e ) m i n = 6 0 . 5
Just wrote the same in aditya raut's comment.

n → ∞ lim r = 1 ∏ n ( V e r y N i c e ) r
by Titu's Lemma we have,
∑ i = 1 n ( a i ) ( x i 2 ) ≥ ( ∑ i = 1 n ( a i ) ) ( ∑ i = 1 n ( x i ) ) 2 ∴ a 2 2 + b 3 2 + c 4 2 + d 6 2 + e 7 2 ≥ a + b + c + d + e ( 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 ) 2 ∴ 8 ≥ a + b + c + d + e ( 2 2 ) 2 ∴ a + b + c + d + e ≥ 8 4 8 4 i . e a + b + c + d + e ≥ 6 0 . 5 ∑ i = 1 n ( a i ) ( x i 2 ) ≥ ( ∑ i = 1 n ( a i ) ) ( ∑ i = 1 n ( x i ) ) 2 ∴ a 2 2 + b 3 2 + c 4 2 + d 6 2 + e 7 2 ≥ a + b + c + d + e ( 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 ) 2 ∴ 8 ≥ a + b + c + d + e ( 2 2 ) 2 ∴ a + b + c + d + e ≥ 8 4 8 4 i . e a + b + c + d + e ≥ 6 0 . 5

By the Cauchy Schwarz Inequality,
( i = 1 ∑ n a i 2 ) ( j = 1 ∑ n b j 2 ) ≥ ( i = 1 ∑ n a i b i ) 2
Let a i be ( a , b , c , d , e )
Let b i be ( a 2 , b 3 , c 4 , d 6 , e 7 )
Now applying the inequality, we get
( a + b + c + d + e ) ( a 4 + b 9 + c 1 6 + d 3 6 + e 4 9 ) ≥ ( 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 7 ) 2
( a + b + c + d + e ) ≥ 8 2 2 2
( a + b + c + d + e ) ≥ 8 4 8 4 = 6 0 . 5
