Prove Inequality: (ab+cd)^2 ≤ (a^2+c^2)(b^2+d^2)

[rbzima]

Homework Statement

Prove that \left(ab+cd\right)^{2} \leq \left(a^{2}+c^{2}\right)\left(b^{2}+d^{2}\right)

Homework Equations

None

The Attempt at a Solution

I've broken the LHS down to the following:

\left(ab\right)^{2}+2abcd+\left(cd\right)^{2}

The RHS:

\left(ab\right)^{2} + \left(ad\right)^{2} + \left(bc\right)^{2} + \left(cd\right)^{2}

So, ultimately... it works out that I need to show 2abcd \leq \left(ad\right)^{2} + \left(bc\right)^{2}

This is where I'm getting stuck... Any suggestions...

Yup, so far so good, now subtract 2abcd from both sides, and you'll get:

(ad) ^ 2 - 2(ad)(bc) + (bc) ^ 2 \geq 0

Does the LHS of this inequality remind you of something?

Wow, long night...

Just use (A-B)²=A²-2AB+B².
