values of a in inequality If sqrt(xy)+root[3]{xyz}<a(x+4y+4z) and x,y,z>0 then a is with the help of am gm inequality sqrt(xy)<=((x+y)/(2)) and root[3]{xyz}<=((x+y+z)/(3)) so sqrt{xy}+root[3]{xyz}<=(x+y)/(2)+(x+y+z)/(3)=(5x+5y+2z)/(6) want be able to go further, could some help me

values of a in inequality
If x y + x y z 3 < a ( x + 4 y + 4 z ) and x , y , z > 0 then a is
with the help of am gm inequality
x y ( x + y 2 ) and x y z 3 ( x + y + z 3 )
so x y + x y z 3 x + y 2 + x + y + z 3 = 5 x + 5 y + 2 z 6
want be able to go further, could some help me

We'll prove that
x + 4 y + 4 z 3 ( x y + x y z 3 ) .
Indeed, by AM-GM
4 z + x + 4 y 3 x y = 4 z + 2 x + 4 y 3 x y 2
3 4 z ( x + 4 y 3 x y 2 ) 2 3 = 3 z ( x + 4 y 3 x y ) 2 3 .
Thus, it remains to prove that
( x + 4 y 3 x y ) 2 x y ,
which is
( x 2 y ) 2 ( x + 4 y 2 x y ) 0.
The equality occurs for x = 4 y and y = 4 z
Id est, a > 1 3 are all values of a, for which the inequality
x y + x y z 3 < a ( x + 4 y + 4 z )
is true for all positives x, y and z
