find the max value of a2+b2+c2+2abc<2

Open in App
Solution

Given, , a+b+c=2.
1a+1b+1c=1
x+y+z=1;
where x=1a,y=1b,z=1c.
Since, a+b>c 0<c<1
Similarly, 0,<a,b<1, hence 0<x,y,z<1.
Now, a2+b2+c2+2abc=(1x)2+(1y)2+2(1x)(1y)(1z)
=32(x+y+z)+(x2+y2+z2)+2[1(x+y+z)+(xy+yz+zx)xyz]
=1+x2+y2+z22xyz+2(xy+yz+zx)
=1+(x+y+z)22xyz
=22xyz<2; as 0<x,y,z<1
a2+b2+c2+2abc<2
