First, we see that y ≥ 0 ; 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 . Set a = x , b = y , c = 2 − x and we get a 1 + b 1 + c 1 = 3 , the expression is rewritten as c y c ∑ a 4 + 1 + 2 a b a = c y c ∑ a 3 + a 1 + 2 b 1 By AM-GM we get c y c ∑ a 3 + a 1 + 2 b 1 ≤ 2 1 c y c ∑ a + b 1 Based on this inequality t 1 + u 1 ≥ t + u 4 we'll have 2 1 c y c ∑ a + b 1 ≤ 8 1 . 2 ( a 1 + b 1 + c 1 ) = 4 3 = 0 . 7 5 The equality holds when x = y = 1
