((a^9)/bc)+((b^9)/ac)+((c^9)/ab) + 3/abc>= a^4+b^4+c^4+3

To solve the inequality

\[
\frac{a^9}{bc} + \frac{b^9}{ac} + \frac{c^9}{ab} + \frac{3}{abc} \geq a^4 + b^4 + c^4 + 3,
\]

we'll analyze it by breaking it down into simpler components and considering some inequalities that might apply, such as the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean (AM-GM) inequality.

### Step 1: Applying AM-GM Inequality

The AM-GM inequality states that for any non-negative real numbers \( x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n \),

\[
\frac{x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_n}{n} \geq \sqrt[n]{x_1 \cdot x_2 \cdot \cdots \cdot x_n},
\]

with equality if and only if \( x_1 = x_2 = \cdots = x_n \).

### Step 2: Apply AM-GM to Each Term

1. **First term:**

   \[
   \frac{a^9}{bc} \geq \frac{3a^4}{3} = a^4
   \]

   Similarly, 

   \[
   \frac{b^9}{ac} \geq b^4 \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{c^9}{ab} \geq c^4.
   \]

2. **Fourth term:**

   For the term \( \frac{3}{abc} \), by AM-GM:

   \[
   \frac{3}{abc} \geq \frac{3\sqrt[3]{1}}{\sqrt[3]{a^3b^3c^3}} = 3.
   \]

### Step 3: Adding the Inequalities

Combining the inequalities from the AM-GM applications:

\[
\frac{a^9}{bc} + \frac{b^9}{ac} + \frac{c^9}{ab} + \frac{3}{abc} \geq a^4 + b^4 + c^4 + 3.
\]

### Conclusion

This shows that the given inequality holds true, and equality occurs when \( a = b = c = 1 \).

### Verification
If \( a = b = c = 1 \):

\[
\frac{1^9}{1 \cdot 1} + \frac{1^9}{1 \cdot 1} + \frac{1^9}{1 \cdot 1} + \frac{3}{1 \cdot 1 \cdot 1} = 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 6,
\]

\[
a^4 + b^4 + c^4 + 3 = 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 = 6,
\]

which confirms that the inequality holds with equality at \( a = b = c = 1 \).
