​if x,y,z are distinct positive numbers ,prove that (x+y)(y+z)(z+x)>8xyz.further if x+y+z=1 show that (1-x)(1-y)(1-z)>8xyz  

Dear student

For positive numbers, Arithmetic mean is always greater than or equal to geometric mean.

x+y2xy ...1y+z2yz ...2x+z2xz ...3Multiplying the three equations, we getx+y2y+z2x+z2xyyzxzx+yy+zz+x8xyzIf x+y+z=1, then x+y=1-zz+y=1-xx+z=1-yNow, x+yy+zz+x8xyz1-z1-x1-y 8xyz
