Prove $\small a(a-c)^2+b(b-c)^2\ge (a-c)(b-c)(a+b-c)$ for all real $a,\,b,\,c\ge 0$: Second Attempt
For reals $a,\,b,\,c\ge 0$, prove the inequality
$a(a-c)^2+b(b-c)^2\ge (a-c)(b-c)(a+b-c)$
and state when the equality holds.
$a(a-c)^2+b(b-c)^2\ge (a-c)(b-c)(a+b-c)$
and state when the equality holds.
