Can someone please do this question and show me their working?

I have no idea what this working out means, especially the first line

i see these inequality questions, i skip

hard inequalities question

(a^3+1)(b^3+1)(c^3+1) \geq (\frac{ab+bc+ca+1}{2})^3 I found this question in the JRHS 2023 paper that was upload here recently. I skipped it when I did the practise test, but when I went over it again I still couldn't get it. I asked my teacher and she hasn't gotten it as of yet. Could anyone...

In part (ii), you showed that

$a^3 + b^3 + c^3 \ge 3abc$

so long as a, b, and c are real and positive.

$\text{Let } a = \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{x^3}{1+x^3}} \qquad \text{and} \qquad b = \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{y^3}{1+y^3}} \qquad \text{and} \qquad c = \sqrt[3]{\cfrac{1}{1+z^3}}$

where x, y, and z are suitably chosen positive reals. Putting these into the equation from part (ii):

$\text{LHS(from part ii) } = a^3 + b^3 + c^3 = \cfrac{x^3}{1+x^3} + \cfrac{y^3}{1+y^3} + \cfrac{1}{1+z^3}$

$\text{RHS(from part ii) } = 3abc = 3\sqrt[3]{\cfrac{x^3}{1+x^3} \times \cfrac{y^3}{1+y^3} \times \cfrac{1}{1+z^3}} = \cfrac{3\sqrt[3]{x^3 y^3}}{\sqrt[3]{\left(1+x^3\right)\left(1+y^3\right)\left(1+z^3\right)}} = \cfrac{3xy}{\sqrt[3]{\left(1+x^3\right)\left(1+y^3\right)\left(1+z^3\right)}}$

and thus you get the solution's inequation (1), except in x, y, and z.

Similar substitutions yield the other three inequations, and they sum to give the result required.

The problem with this approach is that the substitutions collectively require a, b, and c to be less than 1.

why is a, b, c being less than 1 a problem tho cos ii is true for all positive a, b, c
