Whats your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If \[a _{i}>0 \forall i \in N\] such that \[\prod_{n}^{i=1}a _{i}=1\] Then prove that \[(1+a _{1})(1+a _{2})(1+a _{3})(1+a _{4}).....(1+a _{n}) \ge 2^{n}\]

@ikram002p @ganeshie8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does the sign inverted u mean

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

product of terms

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

ive seen this before :O

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

its like \(\sum \), \[\large \prod_{k=1}^{3}k= (1)(2)(3)\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\large \prod_{k=1}^{3}k^2= (1^2)(2^2)(3^2)\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

etc..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the proof for the original question is simple

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes then it is easy after i understood what the sign means

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will be back after dinner

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes :) here is an one line proof : since \(a_i \in \mathbb{N}\), \(a_i+1 \ge 2 \implies \prod \limits_{i=1}^{n}(a _{i}+1)\ge 2^n \)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

mmm sure its a proof ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i thought i had to do this \(\prod_{n}^{i=1}a _{i}\prod_{n}^{i=1} (1+\dfrac{1}{a_i}) \) but i got confused for a second sense\( a_i \) is not integer check the product =1

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

so \(0<a_i\le 1\) do u agree to this @ganeshie8 ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

wait it can be rational but not integer

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

forget about the interval

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[(1+a _{1})(1+a _{2})(1+a _{3})(1+a _{4}) \cdots (1+a _{n}) = \prod \limits_{i=1}^{n} (a_i + 1)\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

right ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yep

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ahh i see your point, so we're given that \(a_i \gt 0\), we're NOT given that its a natural number

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

yep exactly and sence product of a_i = 1 then for sure it cant be integers but also it can be <1 or >1

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

okay then it cannot be an one liner >.<

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

\(a_i \) should be rationl even though its confusing in that case what if \(a_i \le \) 1 then problem solved but if \(a_i >1 \)like 3/2 or 5/2 then we can do the first line proof u have but what if \(a_i \) was mixed btw number which >1 or <1 or =1 then we can't conclude anything in this case

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lets expand the product

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

the thing is im too hungry lol xD so quick i wanna sleep hehe unless there is a given condition for \(a_i\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it how to do

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

see ganesh for example (1+1/2) (1+1/3) (1+1/4) <2^3 (1+1/3776568)(1+3/2)(1+1/2)(1/45456) <2^4 ( not sure :P)

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

only this case work , if \(1\le a_i \) (1+3/2) (1+5/4) (1+7/6) >=2^3

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

nope we cant , we only can conclude that \(a_i\) is rational

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

for example \(\dfrac{1}{2}×\dfrac{2}{3}×\dfrac{3}{1}×\dfrac{1}{1}=1\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

gtg nw , have a nice day

OpenStudy (anonymous):
