Inequality Definition and 1000 Threads

$x$ and $y$ are two real numbers such that $x^3-y^3=2$ and $x^5-y^5\ge 4$. Prove that $x^2+y^2\gt 2$.

My previous thread on this topic got a bit messy as the gist of the argument was in the middle of the thread and turned out wrong. Hence this new updated version. One of my favourite articles on Bell's Theorem can be found at...

Prove $$\frac{ab}{a+b+ab}+\frac{bc}{b+c+bc}+\frac{ca}{c+a+ca}\le \frac{a^2+b^2+c^2+6}{9}$$ for all positive real $a,\,b$ and $c$ and $a,\,b,\,c\ne 0$.

I've seen some articles using particle spin experiments to 'prove' that the results violate Bell's inequality and consequently local reality. I've also seen stated that the same experiments can be done using other particle attributes such as polarisation. I can see how with polarisation, you...

I am not sure if I am allowed to ask this, but here's my shot: I find all the explanations of Bell's theorem summed up here, very different in interpretation and also (for me) incomprehensible. I have these simple questions: How does the Bell inequality, stated as N(A, not B) + N(B, not C) ≥...

How can we prove $$n^n\cdot \left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^{2n}\geq \left(\frac{n+1}{2}\right)^3$$ I did not understand from where i have start.

Based on Schwartz inequality, I am trying to figure out why there should/can be the "s" variable which is the lower bound of the integration in the RHS of the following inequality: ## \left \|\int_{-s}^{0} A(t+r)Z(t+r) dr \right \|^{2} \leq s\int_{-s}^{0}\left \| A(t+r)Z(t+r) \right \|^{2} dr...

Let a>0. It is also true that a+b>0. Can we prove that b>0 always? My attempt b>-a... but 0>-a. therefore min (b,0)>-a case 1: b <0. If, b <-a, then a <-b so a+b <b-b so, a+b <0. Contradiction Hence b>0. Is my proof right?

if x+y ≥ 2 it contains all the point in the line x+y =2 and the half plane above it. but ,graph if x-y ≥ 2 then if consider a line x-y= 2 the inequality represents the line and the half plane below it . i don't understand why it represents the half line below it why not above ?

I would like to show you how to use Schwarz inequality to prove some important general theorems and solve problems about vectors in Minkowski spacetime. Okay, Schwarz inequality states that \left| U^{k}V^{k}\right| \leq \sqrt{(U^{i})^{2}(V^{j})^{2}}. \ \ i,j,k =1,2,3 \ \ \ (1) And, the...

I am reading the proof of the Riemannian Penrose Inequality (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemannian_Penrose_inequality) by Huisken and Ilmamen in "The Inverse Mean Curvature Flow and the Riemannian Penrose Inequality" and I was wondering why they restrict their proof to the dimension ##n=3##...

Why would an inequality sign flip in an answer. For example: 16 < -s -6 The answer is given s < -22 I had -s > 22 I am thinking it is because when you x by -1 to keep from having a negative variable the inequality sign flips...is this why?

I was wondering if someone could explain to me how John Bell and Anton Zeilinger have attempted to prove there is no definite reality in the sub-atomic world. How could it ever be proven there are no hidden variables that humans just don't or can't know about? If I am not mistaken, Einstein for...

There are several Bell inequalities involving 4 values (e.g. CHSH where they are sometimes denoted by Q, R, S, T). The original Bell inequality involved 6. All being refuted by QM. Is it known whether there is one with only 3 values? I can prove there isn't one with 2 values.
