Show that for all $u,v in mathbb{R}, u>v$ if and only if $u^3 > v^3$.
Hi, just wondering how everyone thinks best to prove this? I was thinking of using cases but not sure!
Thank you!

Hint: Use that $$a^3-b^3=(a-b) left(a^2+a b+b^2right)$$
It is $$a^2+b^2geq 2|ab|$$ by AM.GM, so $$a^2+b^2+abgeq 2|ab|+abgeq 0$$ since $$2|ab|geq -ab$$

Thank you, would it be wise to factories the quadratic further or am I missing something?

We have $$a^2+ab+b^2geq 0$$ for all real $a,b$

I have used the AM-GM inequality $$a+bgeq 2ab$$ for $$a,bgeq 0$$ and then i added $ab$ on both sides.
