minimum value of $(8a^2+b^2+c^2)cdot (a^{-1}+b^{-1}+c^{-1})^2$












3












$begingroup$



If $a,b,c>0.$ Then minimum value of



$(8a^2+b^2+c^2)cdot (a^{-1}+b^{-1}+c^{-1})^2$




Try: Arithmetic geometric inequality



$8a^2+b^2+c^2geq 3cdot 2sqrt{2}(abc)^{1/3}$



and $(a^{-1}+b^{-1}+c^{-1})geq 3(abc)^{-1/3}$



so $(8a^2+b^2+c^2)cdot (a^{-1}+b^{-1}+c^{-1})^2geq 18sqrt{2}(abc)^{-1/3}$



could some help me to solve it. answer is $64$

          Hint: Apply $AM ge GM$ not to $8a^2 + b^2 + c^2$, but to
          $$
          (2a)^2 + (2a)^2 + b^2 + c^2
          $$

          and $HM le GM$ not to $a^{-1}+b^{-1}+c^{-1}$, but to
          $$
          frac{1}{2a} + frac{1}{2a} + frac{1}{b} + frac{1}{c}
          $$



          The “partitions” are chosen in such a way that equality can hold simultaneously in both estimates, in this case when $2a=b=c$.



          One can also use the relationships between generalized means, here “harmonic mean $le$ quadratic mean”:
          $$
          frac{4}{frac{1}{2a} + frac{1}{2a} + frac{1}{b} + frac{1}{c}}
          le sqrt{frac{(2a)^2 + (2a)^2 + b^2 + c^2}{4}}
          $$

            Hint: Another way is to consider Hölder's Inequality



            $$(8a^2+b^2+c^2)(a^{-1}+b^{-1}+c^{-1})^2 geqslant (2+1+1)^3$$



            Equality is possible when $8a^3=b^3=c^3=1$ (why?), so this is the minimum.

              Yes, but this approach works with arbitrary coefficients and does not require to find a suitable partition of the sums.
