minimum of $a^2+4b^2+c^2$ given $2a+b+3c=20$












1












$begingroup$



If $a,b,cinmathbb{R}$ and $2a+b+3c=20.$ Then minimum value of $a^2+4b^2+c^2$ is




what i try



Cauchy schwarz inequality



$$(a^2+(2b)^2+c^2)(2^2+frac{1}{2^2}+3^2)geq (2a+b+3c)^2$$



How do i solve it without Cauchy schwarz inequality Help me please

          Put $b'=2b$ so that we minimize $a^2+(b')^2+c^2$ subject to $4a+b'+6c=40$. Now, since the point $x=(a,b',c)$ is on the plane $P: 4x+y+6z=40$, its distance from the origin is minimized when it is parallel to the normal vector $n=(4,1,6)$ to the plane $P$. If we solve $x=tn=(4t,t,6t)in P$ for $tinBbb R$, then we get $53t=40$ and $x=frac{40}{53}(4,1,6)$ follows. Hence we obtain
          $$
          a^2+(b')^2+c^2 ge |x|^2=frac{1600}{53}
          $$
          is the minimum.

            An alternative way of solving the problem is using Lagrange multipliers, other than that (i.e. without using the CS inequality), I don't see a simple solution, and neither do I see a reason to look for such a solution.

              I think this solution is more simple.



              From $$2a+b+3c=20Leftrightarrow b=20-2a-3c$$



              Then $$A=a^2+4left(20-2a-3cright)^2+c^2$$



              $$=17a^2+48ac-320a+37c^2-480c+1600$$



              $$=frac{1}{17}(17a+24c-160)^2+frac{1}{17}left(53left(c-frac{240}{53}right)^2+frac{27200}{53}right )$$



              $$ge frac{1}{17}cdot frac{27200}{53}=frac{1600}{53}$$



              The equality occurs when $(a;b;c)=left(frac{160}{53};frac{20}{53};frac{240}{53}right)$

                $begingroup$

                Let $(a,b,c)=left(frac{160}{53},frac{20}{53},frac{240}{53}right).$



                Thus, we get a value $frac{1600}{53}.$



                We'll prove that it's a minimal value.



                Indeed, we need to prove that
                $$a^2+4b^2+c^2geqfrac{1600}{53}cdotleft(frac{2a+b+3c}{20}right)^2$$ or
                $$37a^2-16(b+3c)a+208b^2-24bc+17c^2geq0,$$ for which it's enough to prove that
                $$64(b+3c)^2-37(208b^2-24bc+17c^2)leq0,$$ which is
                $$(12b-c)^2geq0.$$
                Done!

                  Put $b'=2b$ so that we minimize $a^2+(b')^2+c^2$ subject to $4a+b'+6c=40$. Now, since the point $x=(a,b',c)$ is on the plane $P: 4x+y+6z=40$, its distance from the origin is minimized when it is parallel to the normal vector $n=(4,1,6)$ to the plane $P$. If we solve $x=tn=(4t,t,6t)in P$ for $tinBbb R$, then we get $53t=40$ and $x=frac{40}{53}(4,1,6)$ follows. Hence we obtain
                  $$
                  a^2+(b')^2+c^2 ge |x|^2=frac{1600}{53}
                  $$
                  is the minimum.

                                      I think this solution is more simple.

                                      Then $$A=a^2+4left(20-2a-3cright)^2+c^2$$



                                      $$=17a^2+48ac-320a+37c^2-480c+1600$$



                                      $$=frac{1}{17}(17a+24c-160)^2+frac{1}{17}left(53left(c-frac{240}{53}right)^2+frac{27200}{53}right )$$



                                      $$ge frac{1}{17}cdot frac{27200}{53}=frac{1600}{53}$$
