For example, $10 a_{i}, b_{i}, c_{i}>0(i=1,2, \cdots, n)$. Prove: $$\begin{array}{l} \quad \sqrt[n]{\left(a_{1}+b_{1}+c_{1}\right)\left(a_{2}+b_{2}+c_{2}\right) \cdots\left(a_{n}+b_{n}+c_{n}\right)} \geqslant \sqrt[n]{a_{1} a_{2} \cdots a_{n}}+\sqrt[n]{b_{1} b_{2} \cdots b_{n}}+ \\ \sqrt[n]{c_{1} c_{2} \cdots c_{n}} . ...
Prove that this problem is not easy to tackle directly. If we transform one side of the inequality to 1, and then observe the characteristics of the new inequality structure, it is easier to find the proof idea. The original inequality is equivalent to $$\begin{array}{l} \sqrt[n]{\frac{a_{1} a_{2} \cdots a_{n}}{\left(...

Example 5 (2003 China National Training Team Training Question) Let $x, y, z \geqslant 0, x y+y z+z x=1$. Prove: $f(x, y, z)=\frac{1}{x+y}+\frac{1}{y+z}+\frac{1}{z+x} \geqslant \frac{5}{2}$.
Assume without loss of generality that $x \geqslant y \geqslant z$, and let $u=\frac{x+y}{2} \geqslant z$. By the given condition, we have $u^{2} \geqslant \frac{1}{3}$. When $u \geqslant 1$, $f \geqslant \frac{1}{x+y}+x+y=2 u+\frac{1}{2 u} \geqslant \frac{5}{2}$; when $u>0$, thus, it suffices to prove that $f(x, y, z)...

Example 9 Given $a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{n}$ are $n(n \geqslant 3)$ positive integers, and $a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n}=m, m(m \geqslant n)$ is a constant. Find the maximum value of $M=\sum_{1 \leqslant i \leqslant j<k \leqslant n} a_{i} a_{j} a_{k}$.
Proof: First, we prove that when $M$ attains its maximum value $M_{1}$, for any $i, j(1 \leqslant i < j \leqslant n)$, we have $a_{i} \leqslant a_{j}+1$. Otherwise, if there exist $i, j$ such that $a_{i} \geqslant a_{j}+2$, then by setting $a_{i}^{\prime}=a_{i}-1$ and $a_{j}^{\prime}=a_{j}+1$, we get a new set of posit...

From $\sin x_{1} \cdot \sin x_{2}=\frac{1}{2}\left[\cos \left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)-\cos \left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right)\right]$, we know that the value of $\sin x_{1} \cdot \sin x_{2}$ increases as $\left|x_{1}-x_{2}\right|$ decreases.

Assume $a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{n}$ are positive real numbers. If the sum of $n$ non-negative real numbers $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}$ is 1, then $$a_{1} x_{1}+a_{2} x_{3}+\cdots+a_{n} x_{n} \geq a_{1}^{x_{1}} a_{2}^{x_{2}} \cdots a_{n}^{x_{n}}$$ Proof: The proof of this inequality is similar to the classic AM-GM i...
For the case $n=2$, we must provide a detailed proof (because real number exponents appear in the inequality). We first prove that if $x, y \geq 0, x+y=1$ and $a, b>0$, then $$a x+b y \geq a^{x} b^{y}$$ The simplest way to prove this inequality is to consider the case where $x, y$ are rational numbers. For real number...

Let's denote $a_{i}=x_{i}^{3} \quad i \in\{1,2, \cdots, n\}$, then $a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n}=0$. Note that the function $f(x)=\sqrt[3]{x}$ is concave when $x \geq 0$ and convex when $x \leq 0$.
