Prove, that for any triangle:\[ \sum_{cyc}\sin A - \prod_{cyc}\sin A \ge \sum_{cyc}\sin^3 A \]

In a proof, I encountered the following expressions: \[\sum_{cyc}\frac{\cos^2 A}{\sin B \sin C}\geq \sum_{cyc}\frac{\cos B \cos C}{\sin B \sin C}=\sum_{cyc}\cot B \cot C =1\] My question is concerned with the validity of the inequality. The inequality is based on the use of the Rearrangement...

Everything I've seen about Bell's inequality has had the setup of 120 degree angles between the axis of measurements. The experiment then proves that the basic hidden variable theory can't be true. But the actual measurement has always been told to me as a 0.5 correlation. 50% of the time the...

Hi all, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonse's_inequality It seems to me that the inequality can be true for higher powers (if not any given higher power), for an appropriately higher (lower) bound for "n". Any thoughts, proofs, counter proofs your insights are appreciated. In particular, I...

I believe this is probably a high level undergraduate question, but i could easily be underestimating it and it's actually quite a bit higher than that. I'm reading the Prime number theorem wikipedia page and I'm in part 4 under Proof sketch where sometime down they give in inequality: x is a...

Assume f and g are two continuous functions in (a, b). If at the start of the segment I've shown f>g by taking the lim where x ---> a+ and the f ' > g ' for every x in (a,b ) can i say that f >g for all x in (a,b )? is there a theorem for that? that looks intuitively right.

Proof: If either x or y is zero, then the inequality |x · y| ≤ | x | | y | is trivially correct because both sides are zero. If neither x nor y is zero, then by x · y = | x | | y | cos θ, |x · y|=| x | | y | cos θ | ≤ | x | | y | since -1 ≤ cos θ ≤ 1 How valid is this a proof of the...

So I am trying to solve a simple rational inequality: ##\sqrt{x} < 2x##. Now, why can't I just square the inequality and go on my way solving what results? What precisely is the reason that I need to be careful when squaring the square root?
