 find mini of k that all a,b,c>0 we put function f(x)=^3✓x and we have ^3✓a+^3✓b+^3✓c<k(^3√a+b+c) through out Jensen inequality 

We are tasked with finding the minimum value of \( k \) such that for all \( a, b, c > 0 \), we have:

\[
\sqrt[3]{a} + \sqrt[3]{b} + \sqrt[3]{c} < k \cdot \sqrt[3]{a + b + c}
\]
where \( \sqrt[3]{x} \) represents the cube root of \( x \), and we need to use Jensen's inequality to approach this problem.

### Step 1: Applying Jensen's Inequality
Jensen's inequality states that for a convex function \( f \), the inequality:

\[
f\left( \frac{x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_n}{n} \right) \leq \frac{f(x_1) + f(x_2) + \cdots + f(x_n)}{n}
\]
holds for any real numbers \( x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n \). Equality holds if \( x_1 = x_2 = \cdots = x_n \).

In our case, the function \( f(x) = \sqrt[3]{x} \) is concave because its second derivative is negative:
\[
f''(x) = -\frac{2}{9x^{5/3}} < 0 \quad \text{for} \quad x > 0.
\]

Therefore, applying Jensen’s inequality in reverse for a concave function, we have:
\[
\sqrt[3]{\frac{a + b + c}{3}} \geq \frac{\sqrt[3]{a} + \sqrt[3]{b} + \sqrt[3]{c}}{3}.
\]

Multiplying both sides of this inequality by 3 gives:
\[
\sqrt[3]{a} + \sqrt[3]{b} + \sqrt[3]{c} \leq 3 \cdot \sqrt[3]{\frac{a + b + c}{3}}.
\]

### Step 2: Finding the Minimum \( k \)
We want to establish a comparison between the above result and the inequality given in the problem:
\[
\sqrt[3]{a} + \sqrt[3]{b} + \sqrt[3]{c} < k \cdot \sqrt[3]{a + b + c}.
\]

From the inequality derived using Jensen's inequality:
\[
\sqrt[3]{a} + \sqrt[3]{b} + \sqrt[3]{c} \leq 3 \cdot \sqrt[3]{\frac{a + b + c}{3}}.
\]

We can compare this to the desired inequality. To align these, let's assume equality in the form of:
\[
3 \cdot \sqrt[3]{\frac{a + b + c}{3}} = k \cdot \sqrt[3]{a + b + c}.
\]

Dividing both sides by \( \sqrt[3]{a + b + c} \), we get:
\[
3 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}} = k.
\]

Thus, the minimum value of \( k \) is:
\[
k = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{3}} = 3 \cdot 3^{-1/3}.
\]

### Step 3: Simplifying \( k \)
The expression \( 3 \cdot 3^{-1/3} \) simplifies as follows:
\[
k = 3^{2/3}.
\]

Thus, the minimum value of \( k \) that satisfies the inequality is:
\[
k = 3^{2/3}.
\]

### Final Answer:
The minimum value of \( k \) is \( 3^{2/3} \).
