6・127 Let $n \in Z$, and the function $f: Z \rightarrow R$ satisfies $$f(n)=\left\{\begin{array}{l} n-10, \text { when } n>100 \text {, } \\ f(f(n+11)), \text { when } n \leqslant 100 \text { . } \end{array}\right.$$ Prove that for any $n \leqslant 100$, we have $f(n)=91$.
[Proof] First, let $n \leqslant 100$ and $n+11>100$, i.e., $90 \leqslant n \leqslant 100$, thus $$f(n)=f(f(n+11))=f(n+11-10)=f(n+1)$$ Therefore, $f(90)=f(91)=\cdots=f(100)=f(101)=91$. Now let $n<90$. Take $m \in \mathbb{N}$, such that $90 \leqslant n+11 m \leqslant 100$, then we have $$\begin{aligned} f(n) & =f^{(2)}(...

6. 128 Functions $f, g, h: N \rightarrow N$ satisfy the following three conditions: (1) For different $n \in N, h(n)$ takes different values; (2) The range of function $g(n)$ is $N$; (3) $f(n) \equiv g(n)-h(n)+1, n \in N$. Prove: $f(n) \equiv 1, n \in N$.
[Proof] First, prove that $g(n) \equiv h(n), n \in N$. From this and condition (3), we can obtain $$f(n) \equiv g(n)-h(n)+1 \equiv 1, n \in N$$ Suppose there exists some $n \in N$ such that $g(n) \neq h(n)$. Since $f(n) \geqslant 1$, for any $n \in N$, we have $$h(n)=g(n)+1-f(n) \leqslant g(n)$$ Thus, $h(n)<g(n)=k$. ...

Example 5 Given $x, y, z > 0$. Prove: $$\frac{x^{3}}{y(x+y)^{2}}+\frac{y^{3}}{z(y+z)^{2}}+\frac{z^{3}}{x(z+x)^{2}} \geqslant \frac{3}{4} \text {. }$$ Analysis: Since each term on the left side of the inequality can only contain one variable, the left side must be transformed, simultaneously producing the conditions re...
Prove: The original inequality can be transformed into $$\frac{\left(\frac{x}{y}\right)^{3}}{\left(\frac{x}{y}+1\right)^{2}}+\frac{\left(\frac{y}{z}\right)^{3}}{\left(\frac{y}{z}+1\right)^{2}}+\frac{\left(\frac{z}{x}\right)^{3}}{\left(\frac{z}{x}+1\right)^{2}} \geqslant \frac{3}{4}$$ Let $\frac{x}{y}=a, \frac{y}{z}=b,...

Example 6 Given $a, b, c, d > 0$. Prove: $$\sum \frac{a^{3}}{(a+b)(a+c)(a+d)} \geqslant \frac{1}{2} .$$ Analysis: From the product in the denominator $$(a+b)(a+c)(a+d)$$ we think of the AM-GM inequality $$\sqrt[3]{x y z} \leqslant \frac{x+y+z}{3} .$$
Proof: Since the inequality is a homogeneous inequality, we can assume $a+b+c+d=1$. Notice that $$\begin{array}{l} (a+b)(a+c)(a+d) \\ \leqslant\left[\frac{(a+b)+(a+c)+(a+d)}{3}\right]^{3} \\ =\left(a+\frac{b+c+d}{3}\right)^{3}=\left(a+\frac{1-a}{3}\right)^{3} \\ =\frac{1}{27}(2 a+1)^{3} . \end{array}$$ Therefore, $\fr...

Example 7 Given $a, b, c > 0$. Prove: $$\sum \frac{a}{2 \sqrt{b^{2}-b c+c^{2}}+3 a} \leqslant \frac{3}{5}.$$ Analysis: When $b=c$, $$\sqrt{b^{2}-b c+c^{2}}=\sqrt{b^{2}}=b=\frac{b+c}{2},$$ This leads to the conjecture that $2 \sqrt{b^{2}-b c+c^{2}} \geqslant b+c$.
Proof: Notice $$\begin{array}{l} 2 \sqrt{b^{2}-b c+c^{2}}=\sqrt{4\left(b^{2}+c^{2}\right)-4 b c} \\ \geqslant \sqrt{\left(b^{2}+c^{2}\right)+3 \times 2 b c-4 b c}=\sqrt{(b+c)^{2}} \end{array}$$ Then $2 \sqrt{b^{2}-b c+c^{2}} \geqslant b+c$ $$\Rightarrow \sum \frac{a}{2 \sqrt{b^{2}-b c+c^{2}}+3 a} \leqslant \sum \frac{...

Example 8 Given $x, y, z > -\frac{1}{3}$, and $x+y+z = 3$. Prove: $\sum \frac{1}{\sqrt{3 x+1}+\sqrt{3 y+1}} \geqslant \frac{3}{4}$. Analysis: $x, y$ are respectively in the two radicals $\sqrt{3 x+1}$, $\sqrt{3 y+1}$, which leads to the inequality $$\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b} \leqslant \sqrt{2(a+b)}$$ This can bring $x, y$ in...
Proof: By Cauchy-Schwarz inequality, we have $$\begin{array}{l} \sqrt{3 x+1}+\sqrt{3 y+1} \\ \leqslant \sqrt{\left(1^{2}+1^{2}\right)(3 x+1+3 y+1)} \\ =\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{3(x+y)+2} \\ =\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{3(3-z)+2} \\ =\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{11-3 z} . \end{array}$$ Thus, $$\sum \frac{1}{\sqrt{3 x+1}+\sqrt{3 y+1}} \g...

Prove: $$\sum \frac{x^{5}-x^{2}}{x^{5}+y^{2}+z^{2}} \geqslant 0 \text {. }$$ (46th IMO) Analysis: The degrees of $x, y, z$ are different. According to the condition $xyz \geqslant 1$, we can multiply $x^{2}, y^{2}, z^{2}$ by $xyz$ to make the degrees o...
Proof: $\frac{x^{5}-x^{2}}{x^{5}+y^{2}+z^{2}} \geqslant \frac{x^{5}-x^{2} \cdot x y z}{x^{5}+\left(y^{2}+z^{2}\right) \cdot x y z}$ $$\begin{array}{l} =\frac{x^{4}-x^{2} y z}{x^{4}+\left(y^{2}+z^{2}\right) y z}=\frac{2 x^{4}-x^{2} \cdot 2 y z}{2 x^{4}+\left(y^{2}+z^{2}\right) \cdot 2 y z} \\ \geqslant \frac{2 x^{4}-x^{...

Example 10 Given that $a, b, c$ are the lengths of the three sides of a triangle. Prove: $$\sum \frac{1}{\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c}-\sqrt{a}} \geqslant \frac{3(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c})}{a+b+c}$$ Analysis: The right side of the inequality is not a constant, so both sides must be multiplied by $\frac{a+b+c}{\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b}+...
Prove: The inequality can be transformed into $$\sum \frac{a+b+c}{(\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c}-\sqrt{a})(\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c}+\sqrt{a})} \geqslant 3 .$$ This is a homogeneous inequality, so we can set \(a+b+c=1\). Thus, the inequality is equivalent to $$\begin{array}{l} \sum \frac{1}{(\sqrt{b}+\sqrt{c})^{2}-(\sqrt{a})^{2}} \geqsla...

Example 1 Let $x, y, z$ be positive real numbers, and $x+y+z=1$. Find the minimum value of the function $f(x, y, z)=\frac{3 x^{2}-x}{1+x^{2}}+\frac{3 y^{2}-y}{1+y^{2}}+\frac{3 z^{2}-z}{1+z^{2}}$, and provide a proof. (2003 Hunan Province Mathematics Competition Question)
Solution: For $0<x<1$, we first prove that $\frac{3 x^{2}-x}{1+x^{2}} \geqslant$ $\frac{9 x-3}{10}(1)$, this inequality is equivalent to $9 x^{3}-33 x^{2}+19 x-3 \leqslant 0 \Leftrightarrow(3 x$ $-1)^{2}(x-3) \leqslant 0$, which is obviously true. Similarly, we have $\frac{3 y^{2}-y}{1+y^{2}} \geqslant$ $\frac{9 y-3}{1...

Example 2 Let $a, b, c, d>0$ and $a+b+c+d=1$, prove: $6\left(a^{3}+b^{3}+c^{3}+d^{3}\right) \geqslant a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}+\frac{1}{8}$ (2005 8th Hong Kong Mathematical Olympiad)
Proof: Let $f(x)=6 x^{3}-x^{2}, 00$ and $a+b+c+d=1 \cdot f(x)=6 x^{3}-x^{2}$ has a tangent line at $x=\frac{1}{4}$ which is $y=\frac{5}{8} x-\frac{1}{8}$. We will now prove that $f(x) \geqslant \frac{5}{8} x- \frac{1}{8}$, i.e., $6 x^{3}-x^{2} \geqslant \frac{5}{8} x-\frac{1}{8}$. This inequality is equivalent to $(4 ...

Proof: Let $f(x)=\frac{x^{2}+9}{2 x^{2}+(3-x)^{2}}, 0<x<3$, i.e., $f(x)=\frac{x^{2}+9}{3 x^{2}-6 x+9}$. The tangent line of $f(x)$ at $x=1$ is $g(x)=\frac{1}{3} x+\frac{4}{3}$. We need to prove that when $0<x<3$, $f(x) \leqslant g(x)$, i.e., $\frac{x^{2}+9}{3 x^{2}-6 x+9} \leqslant \frac{1}{3} x+\frac{4}{3}$. This ineq...
