Given that the equation $ax^3-x^2+ax-b=0$, ($a\neq 0,\,b\neq 0$) has three positive real roots.

Determine the greatest value of the following expression:

$$P=\frac{11a^2-3\sqrt3ab-\frac{1}{3}}{9b-10\left ( \sqrt3a-1 \right )}$$

From what course is this problem taken?

What progress have you made so far?
 
simple, i love inequality!(h)
 
I asked from what course the problem is taken, so that I could determine if this sub-forum is the best choice.

I asked what you progress so far has been so that our helpers will know just where you are stuck, and be able to provide meaningful help.

Your response addresses neither question.
 
Thank
But I don't have imagine with my problem
 
Was this problem assigned to you by a teacher/professor in a class?

If so, what is the name of the class?
 

Thread 'What Exactly is Dirac’s Delta Function? - Insight'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagorus'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...
