<s>[INST] Proving Cauchy inequality involving four expression Show that $$(a^2 + b^2 + c^2) (a^2b^2 +b^2c^2 +c^2a^2) \geq (a^2b + b^2c + c^2a)(ab^2 + bc^2 + ca^2)$$
i should prove this inequality by making it a Cauchy form inequality(as teacher stated).
my problem : this inequality is involving 4 parentheses but in other question i proved previously there was one or two in left side and one in right side.
things i have done so far:
$(a^2 + b^2 + c^2) (a^2b^2 +b^2c^2 +c^2a^2) \geq (a^2b + b^2c + c^2a)^2$ 
 [/INST] You say you have proved the inequality $$(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)(a^2b^2 + b^2c^2 + c^2a^2) \geq (a^2b + b^2c + c^2a)^2.$$ You are almost there! The square root of this equation tells us $$(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)^{1/2}(a^2b^2 + b^2a^2 + c^2a^2)^{1/2} \geq a^2b + b^2c + c^2a.$$
Now, you should be able to use identical arguments to prove that $$(a^2 + b^2 + c^2)^{1/2}(a^2b^2 + b^2a^2 + c^2a^2)^{1/2} \geq ab^2 + bc^c + ca^2.$$ Now what happens when you multiply the last two inequalities together?
