(i) (a−b)^2 ≥0  a^2 +b^2 −2ab≥0  ab≤(1/2)(a^2 +b^2 )  (ii) (a+b)^2 =a^2 +b^2 +2ab  note that 2ab≤a^2 +b^2   a^2 +b^2 +2ab≤2(a^2 +b^2 )  (((a+b)^2 )/2)≤a^2 +b^2   (iii) ((√a)−(√b))^2 ≥0  a+b−2(√(ab)) ≥0  (√(ab))≤(1/2)(a+b)

i)(a−b)^2 ≥0 ⇒ ((a^2 +b^2 )/2)≥ab  ii)ab=(1/2)((a+b)^2 −(a^2 −b^2 ))≤((a^2 +b^2 )/2) ⇒ (((a^2 +b^2 ))/2)≤a^2 +b^2   iii)((√a)−(√b))^2 ≥0 ⇒ ab≤((a+b)/2)
