Good day, I have this problem that appeared in some practical problem that I'm working on.
I basically want to find the boundaries of a,b,c,d for which the following inequality is satisfied, if a,b,c,d [itex]\in[/itex] ℝ[itex]^+[/itex] and the inequality is:
[itex] -2 \cdot d + c - a \cdot (c \cdot d)^2 + a \cdot c + \frac{1}{a \cdot c \cdot b^2} \ge 0 [/itex]
How would one approach such a problem, to find the exact solution set?
I'm not really expecting you to solve it, but I'd very much like to hear some advice on how to approach such a problem, to get some information from it, because I want to learn something new.
Thanks

The inequality relates four variables and maps them to the value of the left hand side. This yields the graph of a function in five dimensional space, a so called four dimensional hypersurface. The solutions are all points on one side of this hypersurface.

I don't see a way to visualize or 'solve' this. One can only make additional assumptions as fixing some variables or perform other projections on lower dimensional spaces.
 

1. What is "inequality with 4 variables"?

"Inequality with 4 variables" refers to a mathematical statement or equation that has 4 variables (represented by letters) and shows a relationship between them where one or more of the variables is greater than or less than another.

2. How is "inequality with 4 variables" different from "inequality with 3 variables"?

The main difference between "inequality with 4 variables" and "inequality with 3 variables" is the number of variables involved. Inequality with 3 variables involves 3 variables, while inequality with 4 variables involves 4 variables. This means that there are more possible relationships and solutions to consider in inequality with 4 variables.
