<s>[INST] Prove that $\prod \limits_{cyc}(a^3+a+1 ) \leq 27$ 
Let $a,b,c > 0$ such that $a^2 + b^2 + c^2 =3$. Prove that
$$(a^3+a+1)(b^3+b+1)(c^3+c+1) \leq 27$$

My attempt :
Let $\lambda = \prod \limits_{cyc} a^3+a+1$ .
Applying AM-GM on the set $\{(a^3+a+1),(b^3+b+1),(c^3+c+1)\}$ :
$$\lambda^{\frac{1}{3}}\leq\dfrac{\sum \limits_{cyc} a^3+a^2+a}{3} \leq \dfrac{\sum \limits_{cyc} a^3 +2a^2 }{3} = 2+\dfrac{a^3+b^3+c^3}{3}$$
I am struck now and do not how to proceed. The question seems easy but I can not figure out the right strategy. Also, C-S does not seem to help.
Thanks in Advance !
 [/INST] From the expansion of $a^4-4a^3+6a^2-4a+1=(a-1)^{4} \ge 0$, we can simply the equation to get the following: $$4a^3+4a+4 \le a^4+6a^2+5 $$
So we have that 
$$\prod_{cyc}(a^3+a+1)\leq\frac{1}{4^3}\prod_{cyc}(a^2+1)\prod_{cyc}(a^2+5) \le 27$$
From $\text{AM-GM}$ Inequality. We have the desired result.
