An Alternative Proof of a Sandwich Type Inequality

Alexander Alvarez ⟨aga5@email.sc.edu⟩

Abstract:

In the book, Algebraic Inequalities: New Vistas, Andreescu and Saul proved an inequality in one of the exercises: for fractions a1b1,a2b2,,anba , if m and M are the smallest and largest of these fractions, we have ma1++anb1++bnM. Recently, while solving a problem in the journal, MathAMATYC Educator, Vol.15, No.3, Problem Section, we realized that the solution to this problem can be generalized to a proof of the inequality by Andreescu and Saul. In this talk, we will introduce the proof by Andreescu and Saul, and then we will present our new proof.
