Let a ,b and c be positive real numbers such that $a^2+b^2+c^2=3$.
Prove that for whatever positive real numbers x y and z, the inequality below holds.
$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge \sqrt{xy}+\sqrt{yz}+\sqrt{zx}$
At first I noticed $\sqrt{xy}+\sqrt{yz}+\sqrt{zx}\le \sqrt{x+y+z}\sqrt{x+y+z}=x+y+z$, so perhaps the next move is to prove
$\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge x+y+z$, but I don't see how to do that, the best thing that I can do with the LHS of this inequality is to prove it by AM-GM in the way that $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge 3\left(\frac{xyz}{abc}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\ge 3(xyz)^{\frac{1}{3}}$, but this isn't going to be helpful...
