### For positive reals $a,\,b,\,c$, prove that [MATH]\sqrt{\frac{a}{b+c}}+\sqrt{\frac{b}{c+a}}+\sqrt{\frac{c}{a+b}}\gt 2[/MATH].

In my previous blog post, I asked the readers to spot the factual mistake(s) that I might have or might not have made in the solution (of mine) to one delicious inequality problem.

Today, I am going to discuss with you the mistake that I intentionally made.

Hello all!

Today I'm going to post something that is going to be very different than my style in my previous blog posts, as today I wanted to train students to spot the factual mistake(s) that I might have or might not have made in the following solution (of mine) to today's delicious inequality problem.

### Prove the following inequality holds: $\sqrt{(\log_3a^b +\log_3a^c)}+\sqrt{(\log_3b^c +\log_3b^a)}+\sqrt{(\log_3c^a +\log_3c^b)}\le 3\sqrt{6}$.

Let the reals $a, b, c∈(1,\,∞)$ with $a + b + c = 9$.

Prove the following inequality holds:

$\sqrt{(\log_3a^b +\log_3a^c)}+\sqrt{(\log_3b^c +\log_3b^a)}+\sqrt{(\log_3c^a +\log_3c^b)}\le 3\sqrt{6}$.

My solution:
