  • Answer

Let a1,a2,…,ana_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n} be positive real numbers whose product is 1 . Show that the sum a11+a1+a2(1+a1)(1+a2)+a3(1+a1)(1+a2)(1+a3)+⋯+an(1+a1)(1+a2)⋯(1+an)\frac{a_{1}}{1+a_{1}}+\frac{a_{2}}{\left(1+a_{1}\right)\left(1+a_{2}\right)}+\frac{a_{3}}{\left(1+a_{1}\right)\left(1+a_{2}\right)\left(1+a_{3}\right)}+\cdots+\frac{a_{n}}{\left(1+a_{1}\right)\left(1+a_{2}\right) \cdots\left(1+a_{n}\right)} is greater than or equal to 2n−12n\frac{2^{n}-1}{2^{n}}.
