Example 2: Let the three sides of $\triangle A B C$ be $a, b, c$, and the area be $\Delta$, then $$\min \left\{a^{4}+b^{4}, b^{4}+c^{4}, c^{4}+a^{4}\right\} \geq 8 \Delta^{2}$$
Proof: Without loss of generality, let $a \geq b \geq c$. Then, by the two-variable mean inequality and the boundedness of the sine function, we get $$\begin{aligned} \min \left\{a^{4}+b^{4}, b^{4}+c^{4}, c^{4}\right. & \left.+a^{4}\right\} \geq b^{4}+c^{4} \\ & \geq 2 b^{2} c^{2} \geq 8\left(\frac{1}{2} b c \sin A\rig...

Example 20: (Problem 73 of Issue 3, 1985) If $x, y, z$ are positive numbers, prove: $$x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3} \geq 3 x y z+x(y-z)^{2}+y(z-x)^{2}+z(x-y)^{2} .$$
This is clearly a strengthening of the 3-variable mean inequality. The transformation of this inequality leads to the 1975 All-Soviet Union Mathematical Olympiad, Grade 10, Problem 2: For positive numbers $x, y, z$, the following inequality holds: $$x^{3}+y^{3}+z^{3}+3 x y z \geq x y(x+y)+y z(y+z)+z x(z+x)$$ A very si...

Class Problem: (Mathematical Problems in "Mathematics Bulletin" $1144,1998,7$) In an acute triangle $\triangle A B C$, we have $\frac{\cos (\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{C}) \cos (\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{A}) \cos (\mathrm{A}-\mathrm{B})}{\cos A \cos \mathrm{B} \cos C} \geq 8$.
Prove: Since $$\frac{\cos (B-C)}{\cos A}=\frac{2 \sin (B+C) \cos (B-C)}{2 \sin A \cos A}=\frac{\sin 2 B+\sin 2 C}{\sin 2 A}$$ Thus, by the AM-GM inequality, we get $$\begin{array}{l} \frac{\cos (B-C)}{\cos A}=\frac{\sin 2 B+\sin 2 C}{\sin 2 A} \geq \frac{2 \sqrt{\sin 2 B \sin 2 C}}{\sin 2 A} \\ \frac{\cos (B-C)}{\cos ...

Example 8. $a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{n}$ are positive numbers. Prove: $$\frac{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n}}{n} \geqslant \sqrt{a_{1} a_{2} \cdots a_{n}} .$$ (Arithmetic Mean Theorem)
To prove that if the proposition holds for $n-1$ positive numbers, it also holds for $n$ positive numbers, we need to show that: $$\frac{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n}}{n} \geqslant \sqrt[n]{a_{1} a_{2} \cdots a_{n}}$$ which is equivalent to: $$\frac{a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n}}{\sqrt[4]{a_{1} a_{2} \cdots a_{n}}} \geqslant n.$...

Example 9. $n \geqslant 2, x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}$ are positive numbers, and $x_{1}+x_{2}+\cdots+x_{n}=1$. Prove: $$\begin{array}{l} \frac{x_{1}}{\sqrt{1-x_{1}}}+\frac{x_{2}}{\sqrt{1-x_{2}}}+\cdots+\frac{x_{n}}{\sqrt{1-x_{n}}} \\ \geqslant \frac{\sqrt{x_{1}}+\sqrt{x_{2}}+\cdots+\sqrt{x_{n}}}{\sqrt{n-1}} \end{array...
Proof: Let $x_{1} \leqslant x_{2} \leqslant \cdots \leqslant x_{n}$. It is easy to see that the left side of (1) is an ordered sum, denoted as $S$. Then $$\begin{array}{l} S \geqslant \frac{x_{2}}{\sqrt{1-x_{1}}}+\frac{x_{3}}{\sqrt{1-x_{2}}}+\cdots+\frac{x_{1}}{\sqrt{1-x_{n}}} \\ S \geqslant \frac{x_{3}}{\sqrt{1-x_{1}}...

Example 10. In $\triangle A B C$, prove that; $$\frac{\pi}{3} p \leqslant a A+b B+c C<\frac{\pi}{2} p$$
Prove that if $M=a A+b B+c C$ (M is the cyclic sum), then $$\begin{array}{l} M \geqslant a B+b C+c A \\ M \geqslant a C+b A+c B \end{array}$$ Adding the three inequalities, we get $$\begin{aligned} 3 M \geqslant a & (A+B+C)+b(A+B+C) \\ & +c(A+B+C) \\ & =\pi(a+b+c), \\ \therefore M \geqslant & \frac{\pi}{3} p . \\ \tex...
\frac{\pi}{3} p \leqslant M < \frac{\pi}{2} p
