Áp dụng BĐT Cauchy cho 2 số dương ta được :
\(\dfrac{a^2}{b+3c}+\dfrac{b+3c}{16}\ge2\sqrt{\dfrac{a^2}{b+3c}\times\dfrac{b+3c}{16}}=\dfrac{2a}{4}\)
Suy ra \(\dfrac{a^2}{b+3c}\ge\dfrac{2a}{4}-\dfrac{b+3c}{16}\)
Cmtt ta cũng được :
\(\dfrac{b^2}{c+3a}\ge\dfrac{2b}{4}-\dfrac{c+3a}{16}\) \(\dfrac{c^2}{a+3b}\ge\dfrac{2c}{4}-\dfrac{a+3b}{16}\)
Khi đó :
\(\dfrac{a^2}{b+3c}+\dfrac{b^2}{c+3a}+\dfrac{c^2}{a+3b}\ge\dfrac{2a}{4}-\dfrac{b+3c}{16}+\dfrac{2b}{4}-\dfrac{c+3a}{16}+\dfrac{2c}{4}-\dfrac{a+3b}{16}\)
mà \(\dfrac{2a}{4}-\dfrac{b+3c}{16}+\dfrac{2b}{4}-\dfrac{c+3a}{16}+\dfrac{2c}{4}-\dfrac{a+3b}{16}=\dfrac{a+b+c}{4}\)
Vậy \(\dfrac{a^2}{b+3c}+\dfrac{b^2}{c+3a}+\dfrac{c^2}{a+3b}\ge\dfrac{a+b+c}{4}\)
Áp dụng bất đẳng thức Cauchy - Schwarz dạng phân thức
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{a^2}{b+3c}+\dfrac{b^2}{c+3a}+\dfrac{c^2}{a+3b}\ge\dfrac{\left(a+b+c\right)^2}{4\left(a+b+c\right)}=\dfrac{a+b+c}{4}\) (đpcm)
Dấu " = " xảy ra khi \(a=b=c\)
