To prove that \( \frac{a}{b+c} + \frac{b}{c+a} + \frac{c}{a+b} \geq \frac{3}{2} \) given that \( a + b + c = 1 \) and \( a, b, c > 0 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the Denominators Since \( a + b + c = 1 \), we can express the denominators in terms of \( a, b, c \): - \( b + c = 1 - a \) - \( c + a = 1 - b \) - \( a + b = 1 - c \) ...
