Find the minimum value of the quantity where a , b , c are real positive numbers.

Question

Find the minimum value of the quantity where a , b , c are real positive numbers.

$$\left(\frac{a^2 + 3a + 1}{a}\right) \left(\frac{b^2 +3b + 1}{b}\right)\left(\frac{c^2 + 3c + 1}{c}\right) $$

I think the to get the answer we need to use

A.M.  >= G.M 

How i can achieve this?

Answer 1

You can use the fact that $x + \frac{1}{x} \ge 2$, which can be proved using $\text{AM} \ge \text{GM}$, or just completing the square.
