For positive real numbers x, y, z, we have AM > GM 

\(\frac{x^2+y^2}{2}\) > (x2 . y2)\(\frac12\) ⇒ x2 + y2 > 2xy 

⇒ x2 + y2 – xy > xy              [ x > y ⇒ x + a > y + a ∀ a ∈ R] 

⇒ (x + y) (x2 + y2 – xy) > xy (x + y)           [ x > y ⇒ ax > ay ∀ a > 0] 

⇒ (x3 + y3) > xy (x + y)            …(i) 

Similarly, we can show that, 

y3 + z3 > yz (y + z)                …(ii) 

and z3 + x3 > zx (z + x)        …(iii) 

Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we have 

⇒ x3 + y3 + y3 + z3 + z3 + x3 > xy (x + y) + yz (y + z) + zx (z + x) 

2 (x3 + y3 + z3) > xy (x + y) + yz (y + z) + zx (z + x)
