Ta có: P = \(P=\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{y}\right).\left(1-\frac{1}{x}\right)\left(1-\frac{1}{y}\right)\) (HĐT số 3)
\(=\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)\left(1+\frac{1}{y}\right).\frac{\left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right)}{xy}\)
\(=\left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right)\left(1+\frac{1}{y}\right).\frac{-x.-y}{xy}\)
= (1 + 1/x)(1 + 1/y)
= 1 + 1/(xy) + (1/x + 1/y) = 1 + 1/(xy) + (x + y)/xy
= 1 + 1/(xy) + 1/(xy) = 1 + 2/(xy)
Áp dụng bđt: \(xy\le\frac{\left(x+y\right)^2}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\Rightarrow P\ge\frac{1+2}{\frac{1}{4}}=9\)
Vậy PMin = 9 xảy ra \(\Leftrightarrow x=y=\) \(\frac{1}{2}\)
