The discussion revolves around proving the inequality involving complex expressions with variables R, B, γ, and β. Participants suggest simplifying the expressions, possibly by multiplying them out to identify cancellations. There is also a recommendation to use Mathematica's MinValue function to check if the minimum value of the left side is positive under given constraints. One user expresses frustration over the complexity of the expressions but ultimately finds a solution and considers deleting their question. The importance of keeping the question posted for others to learn from is emphasized.

((1+R)〖(-4+R^2)〗^2)/(4〖(6+4R+B^2 R-5R^2-R^3+R^4+B(-2+R+R^2))〗^2 )-((1+γ)〖(-4+γ^2)〗^2)/(9〖(6+4γ+β^2 γ-5γ^2-γ^3+γ^4+β(-2+γ+γ^2))〗^2 )>0, where 0 < γ < R < 1, 0 < β < B < 1.

If you can give me some hints about proving it directly, that will be great. Or, Proving it with Mathematica is also ok. For example, I want to use the MinValue function. If the minimum value of the left is positive, then it is proven. But how to write the input with the constraint? So if you are familiar with Mathematica, please help!

I really appreciate your time and help.

That's an insanely long expression. My best advice would be to multiply everything out and see if you get some kind of cancellation. If that doesn't work, you could try mathematica.
 
Yes it is insanely long. The first part and the second part actually share the same function except that the veriables in the first part are R and B, while in the second part are Beta and r. I cannot just multiply everything because there is a division in both parts. :-(
 
Okay, let me simlify the expression of my question this way:

Let A =(1+R)〖(-4+R^2)〗^2
B =〖(6+4R+B^2 R-5R^2-R^3+R^4+B(R^2+R-2))〗^2
C =(1+γ)〖(-4+γ^2)〗^2)
D =〖(6+4γ+β^2 γ-5γ^2-γ^3+γ^4+β(γ^2+γ-2))〗^2 )
I want to prove that A /4B - C /9D > 0, given 0 < γ < R < 1, 0 < β < B < 1.

Thanks!

Ok, I have found the solution. Do not know how to delete here. Please help me delete the question. Thanks.
 
Don't delete the question! Why would you do that?

People browse these forums all the time soaking up knowledge. Why would you delete it?
 
Here is a little puzzle from the book 100 Geometric Games by Pierre Berloquin. The side of a small square is one meter long and the side of a larger square one and a half meters long. One vertex of the large square is at the center of the small square. The side of the large square cuts two sides of the small square into one- third parts and two-thirds parts. What is the area where the squares overlap?
