This question already has an answer here:




  • How to prove $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 ge ab + bc + ca$?

    6 answers




Given $x,y in Bbb{R}$, show that:$$x^2+y^2+1ge xy+y+x $$
I tried using the fact that $x^2+y^2 ge 2xy$ But then I'm not sure how to go on, Also tried factoring but didn't help much, also tried substituting $frac{x^2+y^2}{2}$ instead of $xy$ but that gave me the same result of the first substitution, i.e. $xy+1ge x+y$



This inequality seems very easy, I'm feeling dumb for not having solved it yet

Since $$a^2-2ab+b^2 = (a-b)^2geq 0implies a^2+b^2geq 2ab$$ we have $$ x^2+y^2geq 2xy$$
$$x^2+1geq 2x$$
$$y^2+1geq 2y$$
Now add all these...

    Hint: Use that $$x^2+y^2+z^2geq xy+yz+zx$$ holds for all real numbers $$x,y,z$$
    this is $$(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2geq 0$$

      We need to prove that
      $$y^2-(x+1)y+x^2-x+1geq0,$$ for which it's enough to prove that
      $$(x+1)^2-4(x^2-x+1)leq0$$ or $$(x-1)^2geq0.$$
