Question Number 203527 by Mastermind last updated on 21/Jan/24

Find the maximum value of the function  f(x,y)=x^2 y^2 z^2  subject to the condition that  x^2 +y^2 +z^2 =c^2 , where c is the constant.    Thank you in advance

x^2 =X  y^2 =Y  z^2 =Z  c^2 =C  max of XYZ if X+Y+Z=C, X,Y,Z,C>0  geom.mean≤arithm.mean  ⇒((XYZ))^(1/3) ≤((X+Y+Z)/3)=(C/3) (equality if X=Y=Z)  ⇒XYZ≤(C^3 /(27))  ⇒max f(x,y,z)=x^2 y^2 z^2    if   x^2 +y^2 +z^2 =c^2   is max(f)=(c^6 /(27)) for ∣x∣=∣y∣=∣z∣=((∣c∣)/( (√3)))

basically we use the inequality  GM≤AM  where GM is the geometric mean  and AM is the arithmetic mean

c^2 =x^2 +y^2 +z^2 ≥3((x^2 y^2 z^2 ))^(1/3) ⇒x^2 y^2 z^2 ≤(c^6 /(27))

$${c}^{\mathrm{2}} ={x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +{z}^{\mathrm{2}} \geqslant\mathrm{3}\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} {y}^{\mathrm{2}} {z}^{\mathrm{2}} }\Rightarrow{x}^{\mathrm{2}} {y}^{\mathrm{2}} {z}^{\mathrm{2}} \leqslant\frac{{c}^{\mathrm{6}} }{\mathrm{27}} \\ $$
