Let n ≥ 2 n\geq 2 n ≥ 2 be an integer, and let 0 < a 1 < a 2 < ⋯ < a 2 n + 1 0 < a_1 < a_2 < \cdots < a_{2n+1} 0 < a 1 < a 2 < ⋯ < a 2 n + 1 be real numbers. Prove the inequality
a 1 n − a 2 n + a 3 n − ⋯ + a 2 n + 1 n < a 1 − a 2 + a 3 − ⋯ + a 2 n + 1 n . \sqrt[n]{a_1} - \sqrt[n]{a_2} + \sqrt[n]{a_3} - \cdots + \sqrt[n]{a_{2n+1}} < \sqrt[n]{a_1 - a_2 + a_3 - \cdots + a_{2n+1}}. n a 1 − n a 2 + n a 3 − ⋯ + n a 2 n + 1 < n a 1 − a 2 + a 3 − ⋯ + a 2 n + 1 .
