Let $a,b,c>0$ and $a+b+c= 1$, how to prove the inequality $\frac{\sqrt{a}}{1-a}+\frac{\sqrt{b}}{1-b}+\frac{\sqrt{c}}{1-c}\geq \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$? Let $a,b,c>0$ and $a+b+c= 1$, how to prove the inequality 
$$\frac{\sqrt{a}}{1-a}+\frac{\sqrt{b}}{1-b}+\frac{\sqrt{c}}{1-c}\geq \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$$?
 A: Although the function $f(x)=\sqrt{x}/(1-x)$ is not convex on (0,1), its tangent at $x=1/3$ lower bounds the
function and passes through the origin. 
That is, for $0\leq x\leq 1$, we have 
$${\sqrt{x}\over 1-x}\geq {3\sqrt{3}\over2}\, x.$$
Plugging in $a,b,c$ and adding gives
$${\sqrt{a}\over 1-a}+{\sqrt{b}\over 1-b}+{\sqrt{c}\over 1-c}\geq {3\sqrt{3}\over2}.$$ 
Added reference: Exercise 8.1 on page 131 of The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class by J. Michael Steele asks 
you to prove that for $p\geq 1$, and positive $a,b,c$,
$${a^p\over b+c}+{b^p\over a+c}+{c^p\over a+b}\geq {1\over 2}\,3^{2-p}\,(a+b+c)^{p-1}.\tag1$$ 
He notes that for $p=1$ this reduces to  Nesbitt's inequality.
The inequality (1) fails for $0<p<p_c$, where $p_c={3\log(2)-2\log(3)\over \log(2)-\log(3)}=.29048$
 by looking at $a=b=1/2$ and $c$ close to zero.  But it holds again for $p=0$ by Jensen's inequality .
A: $\sqrt{a} = x, b=y^2, c=z^2 => x^2+y^2+z^2=1$
We have to prove $$\frac{x}{y^{2}+z^{2}}+\frac{y}{x^{2}+z^{2}}+\frac{z}{x^{2}+y^{2}}\geq \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$$:
$$\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}x\left ( y^{2}+z^{2} \right )\leq \left ( x^{2}+\frac{1}{3} \right )\left ( y^{2}+z^{2} \right )\leq \frac{\left ( x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}+\frac{1}{3} \right )^{2}}{4}=\frac{4}{9}$$
Do it the same for $\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}y\left ( z^{2}+x^{2} \right ), \frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}z\left ( y^{2}+x^{2} \right )$
So: $$\frac{leftside}{\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}}=\sum \frac{x^{2}}{\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{3}x\left ( y^{2}+z^{2} \right )}\geq \frac{\sum x^{2}}{\frac{4}{9}}=\frac{9}{4}$$
$$\Rightarrow leftside=\sum \frac{x}{y^{2}+z^{2}}\geq \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2}$$
A: This is as far as I got... 
$\frac{(1-b)\sqrt{a}}{(1-b)(1-a)}$  + $\frac{(1-a)\sqrt{b}}{(1-a)(1-b)}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{c}}{(1-c)}$ $\geq$ $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} $
$\Leftrightarrow$ 
$\frac{(1-b)\sqrt{a} + (1-a)\sqrt{b}}{(1-b)(1-a)}$ + $\frac{\sqrt{c}}{(1-c)}$ $\geq$ $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} $
$\Leftrightarrow$ 
$\frac{(1-c)(1-b)\sqrt{a}+(1-c)(1-a)\sqrt{b}+(1-b)(1-a)\sqrt{c}}{(1-a)(1-b)(1-c)}$ $\geq$ $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} $
$\Leftrightarrow$ 
$\frac{\sqrt{a}(1-b-c+bc)+\sqrt{b}(1-a-c+ac)+\sqrt{c}(1-a-b+ab)}{(c+ab)((1-c)} $ $\geq$ $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} $
$\Leftrightarrow$ 
$\frac{\sqrt{a}(bc+a)+\sqrt{b}(ac+b)+\sqrt{c}(ab+c)}{(ab+c)(1-c)}$ $\geq$ $\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{2} $
Can anyone explain the rest to me? Can you say that (bc+a),(ac+b),(ab+c) $\leq$ 1 ? Also how would you formally say that, I mean I know that two fractions times each other is less than 1, but I don't know how to formally state that. Thanks!
