Problem

Prove that for all real numbers $x_1, x_2, y_1, y_2, z_1, z_2$, with $x_1 > 0, x_2 > 0, y_1 > 0, y_2 > 0, z_1 > 0, z_2 > 0, x_1y_1 - z_1^2 > 0, x_2y_2 - z_2^2 > 0$, the inequality\[\frac{8}{(x_1 + x_2)(y_1 + y_2) - (z_1 + z_2)^2} \leq \frac{1}{x_1y_1 - z_1^2} + \frac{1}{x_2y_2 - z_2^2}\]is satisfied. Give necessary and sufficient conditions for equality.

Solution

Let $A=x_1y_1 - z_1^2>0$ and $B=x_2y_2 - z_2^2>0$

From AM-GM:

$\sqrt{AB} \le \frac{A+B}{2}$

$4AB \ (A+B)^2$
