SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving inequalities, specifically the second part of a problem set. The user has successfully completed part (i) but seeks guidance on initiating part (ii). A key suggestion provided is to rewrite the inequality as a + b + c ≥ 3abc, which can be transformed into the expression \(\frac{trs^2 + rst^2 + tsr^2}{rst}\). This approach highlights the importance of algebraic manipulation in tackling complex inequalities.

I need help with the second part, I've managed to get through all of the part (i), but I have no idea where to really start with part (ii), any hints to start me off and I'll keep posting how I'm doing.

thanks

hi synkk! :smile:

(i don't know whether this works :redface:, but …)

i'd try rewriting it as a + b + c ≥ 3abc :wink:
 
Hint: the last equality can be rewritten as:
[tex]\frac{trs^2 + rst^2+ tsr^2}{rst}[/tex]
