Question
If a,b,c are positive real numbers such that \dfrac{\sqrt{2}b-2c }{a}=1, show that b^2\geq 4ac
If a,b,c are positive real numbers such that \dfrac{\sqrt{2}b-2c }{a}=1, show that b^2\geq 4ac
\dfrac{\sqrt{2}b-2c }{a}=1
Rearrange the equation
\sqrt{2}b = 2c+a
2c+a\geq 2\sqrt{2ca}
Then
\sqrt{2}b \geq 2\sqrt{2ca}
b\geq 2\sqrt{ac}
Square the inequality
b^2\geq 4ac
