Inequalities

Let n be a positive Integer. 0<\theta _{i}<90, such that

cos^{2}\theta _{1}+cos^{2}\theta _{2}+cos^{2}\theta _{3}+.....+cos^{2}\theta _{n} = 1

PROVE THAT:

tan \theta _{1}+tan \theta _{2}+tan \theta _{3}+...+tan \theta _{n} \geq (n-1)(cot\theta _{1}+cot\theta _{2}+....cot\theta _{n})

Find all z in form of a+ib satisfying the relation below:

(3z-1)4 + (z-2)4 = 0

seems some trick has to be applied in the second question

or else we have to solve the quartic equation

if we put tan∂ = A the inequality becomes

where we have

i tried to prove the inequality by chebychefs but it did not go well.....

pls somebody try this one...

we have
tan ∂i = sin∂1cos ∂1 = 1-cos2∂1cos∂1 = cos2∂1+ cos2∂2 +.....+cos2∂i-1 + cos2∂i+1+.....+ cos2∂n
cos∂1

from m-th power inequality x2+y2 2≥x+y2

so tan∂i ≥ cos∂1+ .....+ cos∂i-1+ cos∂i+1+...+ cos∂ncos∂1n-1

summing the inequality for i from 1 to n we get

tan∂1+...+ tan∂n ≥ 1n-1\sum_{}^{}{1\leq i,j\leq n,i\neq j}ajai

because each ratios ajai appear only once

on the other hand

cot∂i = cos∂isin∂i= cos∂icos2∂1+ cos2∂2 +.....+cos2∂i-1 + cos2∂i+1+.....+ cos2∂n

again we have from m-th power inequality

x2+y2 2≥21/x + 1/y

so cot∂i ≤ cos∂i (1cos∂1 + ....+1cos∂i-1+ 1cos∂i+1+...+ 1cos∂n)(n-1)√n-1

again after summing up we get

cot∂1+ ...+ cot∂n ≤\sum_{}^{}{1\leq i,j\leq n,i\neq j}ajai
(n-1)32

combining above two inequality

we get

(n-1) (tan∂1 +....+ tan∂2) ≥ \sum_{}^{}{1\leq i,j\leq n,i\neq j}ajai ≥ (n-1)32(cot∂1 +....+ cot∂n)

so (tan∂1 +....+ tan∂n) ≥(n-1)(cot∂1+......+ cot∂n)

one of my teacher really helped me by giving valuable hint on which inequality to use here.

Where can I get more details/applications of this Inequality.

@Subho BTW, Did u appear for this year's RMO?

21
Shubhodip ·

i did, didn qualify ,will give a best attempt this time

"where can i get......"

please specify..

21
Shubhodip ·

where u get such questions , i mean any book?

Vivek @ Born this Way ·

I meant if there is any online source/link available or have to consult teacher.. (Although they won't tell)

I was having a look through my problems collections once and found this.. They are collected from various sources.. Like say wherever I see a good problem I write it down and get it solved at appropriate time..

we know AM of mth power ≥ m-th power of AM

so x2 + y2/2 ≥ [( x+y)/2 ]2

taking square root we get x2+y22≥x+y2

from AM≥ HM

x+y2≥21/x+1/y

so x2+y22 ≥ 21/x+1/y

for 2nd

put
3z-1= -+{root i}[z-2]

that shud help
