Math Problem Statement
If a,b,c>1 and they are real number then prove atleast one of these is always wrong (10a^2-5a+1)/(c^2-5c+10)>abc (10c^2-5c+1)/(b^2-5b+10)>abc (10b^2-5b+1)/(a^2-5a+10>abc
Solution
To prove that at least one of the given inequalities is always false for , we need to show that it's impossible for all three inequalities to hold simultaneously.
Given inequalities are:
Step-by-step Analysis:
-
Multiply all three inequalities together:
Multiplying all three inequalities gives:
Simplifying the left-hand side:
-
Rearrange and analyze:
If we denote and , the inequality becomes:
To satisfy the inequality above, the product of the fractions on the left-hand side must be greater than .
-
Evaluate the behavior of and :
Consider the functions and for :
- For large , and .
- Thus, for large .
Since the expressions are roughly constant, multiplying three of them yields:
-
Check the implications:
If , then . Thus, if all , it's possible for to be greater than , making .
This would mean:
Therefore, it's impossible for all three inequalities to hold simultaneously because multiplying them would yield a contradiction.
Conclusion:
At least one of the inequalities must be false when .
