TITLE: Prove that $\left (\frac{a^2 + b^2 +c^2}{a+b+c} \right) ^ {(a+b+c)} > a^a b^b c^c$
QUESTION [14 upvotes]: Prove that $\left (\dfrac{a^2 + b^2 +c^2}{a+b+c} \right) ^ {(a+b+c)} > a^a b^b c^c$ if $a$, $b$ and $c$ are distinct natural numbers.  Is it possible using induction?

REPLY [12 votes]: I recommend to read the answer from here. section Weighted AM-GM Inequality :) it is a good one .

REPLY [8 votes]: Rewrite it as:
$$
  \left( a \frac{a}{a+b+c} + b \frac{b}{a+b+c} + c \frac{c}{a+b+c} \right) > a^\frac{a}{a+b+c} \cdot b^\frac{b}{a+b+c} \cdot c^\frac{c}{a+b+c}
$$
This is Jensen's inequality:
$$
    \log\left(\mathsf{E}\left(X\right)\right) > \mathsf{E}\left(\log\left(X\right)\right) \quad \text{or}\quad \mathsf{E}\left(X\right) > \exp \left( \mathsf{E}\left(\log\left(X\right)\right) \right)
$$
where $X$ is the random variable which can assume one of three possible values $\{a,b,c\}$ with respective probabilities $\{ \frac{a}{a+b+c}, \frac{b}{a+b+c}, \frac{c}{a+b+c}  \}$.
