The correct Answer is:
To prove that \( a^a + b^b + c^c \geq 3 \) given that \( \frac{\ln a}{b-c} = \frac{\ln b}{c-a} = \frac{\ln c}{a-b} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Set the common ratio Let \( k = \frac{\ln a}{b-c} = \frac{\ln b}{c-a} = \frac{\ln c}{a-b} \). ### Step 2: Express \( \ln a \), \( \ln b \), and \( \ln c \) From the above equality, we can express: \[ \ln a = k(b - c) \] \[ \ln b = k(c - a) \] \[ \ln c = k(a - b) \] ### Step 3: Exponentiate to find \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) Taking exponentials of both sides, we have: \[ a = e^{k(b - c)} \] \[ b = e^{k(c - a)} \] \[ c = e^{k(a - b)} \] ### Step 4: Apply the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean Inequality (AM-GM) Using the AM-GM inequality, we know that: \[ \frac{a^a + b^b + c^c}{3} \geq \sqrt[3]{a^a \cdot b^b \cdot c^c} \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( a^a \), \( b^b \), and \( c^c \) Substituting the expressions for \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \): \[ a^a = \left(e^{k(b - c)}\right)^{e^{k(b - c)}} = e^{k(b - c)e^{k(b - c)}} \] \[ b^b = \left(e^{k(c - a)}\right)^{e^{k(c - a)}} = e^{k(c - a)e^{k(c - a)}} \] \[ c^c = \left(e^{k(a - b)}\right)^{e^{k(a - b)}} = e^{k(a - b)e^{k(a - b)}} \] ### Step 6: Combine and simplify Now, we need to show that: \[ a^a + b^b + c^c \geq 3 \] This follows from the AM-GM inequality, which states that the arithmetic mean is always greater than or equal to the geometric mean. ### Step 7: Conclusion Thus, we conclude that: \[ \frac{a^a + b^b + c^c}{3} \geq 1 \implies a^a + b^b + c^c \geq 3 \] ### Final Result Hence, we have proved that: \[ a^a + b^b + c^c \geq 3 \]
