  • Condition on a,b and c satisfying an equation(TIFR GS 2017)

    3 answers




Let $a,b,c$ be positive real number such that
$$(1+a+b+c)left(1+frac1a+frac1b+frac1cright)=16$$
then $a+b+c=3$




I think this is trivial but I don't know how to prove this fact.



Any Help will be appreciated

Use the AM-HM inequality of $1, a, b, c$.



So $$frac1 + a + b + c4 geq frac41 + frac1a + frac1b + frac1c$$



This gives $$(1 + a + b + c)bigg(1 + frac1a + frac1b + frac1cbigg) geq 16$$.



The equality becomes an equation only when all four elements are equal.



i.e. $1=a=b=c$. So $a + b + c = 3$.

      Using Cauchy-Schwarz inequality you can even show that $a=b=c=1$:
      $$(1+a+b+c)left(1+frac1a+frac1b+frac1cright) = left(1^2 + sum_cycleft(sqrtaright)^2 right)left(1^2 + sum_cycleft(frac1sqrtaright)^2 right)$$ $$stackrelC.-S.geq(1+1+1+1)^2 = 16$$
      Equality holds for $(1: sqrta : sqrtb : sqrtc)^T = lambda cdot left( 1: frac1sqrta : : frac1sqrtb : : frac1sqrtcright)^T Rightarrow a=b=c = 1$
