The factorization was more intense than the inequality part TT.TT
Great solution! It would be great if you add an equality case.

I did the same
Good answer.
In the 2nd line, what did you do? I'm just asking for a subject title, you don't need to give a long explanation or anything, I'll look that up myself.

2 1 x 3 + 5 y 2 + 2 0 1 6 z 2 = 2 2 1 x 3 + 2 2 1 x 3 + 3 5 y 2 + 3 5 y 2 + 3 5 y 2 + 6 7 2 z 2 + 6 7 2 z 2 + 6 7 2 z 2 ≥ 8 ( ( 2 2 1 x 3 ) 2 ( 3 5 y 2 ) 3 ( 6 7 2 z 2 ) 3 ) 8 1 = 8 ( 2 1 3 3 2 5 3 7 5 ( x y z ) 6 ) 8 1
Since x y z = 3 3 5 7 0 = 5 2 3 7 2 1 2 2 1 3 3 − 1 , then ( x y z ) 6 = 5 9 7 3 2 3 3 − 2 . Now
2 1 x 3 + 5 y 2 + 2 0 1 6 z 2 ≥ 8 ( 2 1 6 5 1 2 7 8 ) 8 1 = 1 1 2 0 5 The equality holds if and only if 2 2 1 x 3 = 3 5 y 2 = 6 7 2 z 2 , which eventually implies that x = 3 3 − 1 2 1 5 2 1 , y = 3 2 1 7 2 1 2 1 5 4 1 and z = 3 2 − 1 2 2 − 3 5 2 1 .
So a = 1 1 2 0 and b = 5 and thus a + b = 1 1 2 5 .
