This document proves the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality by letting x and y be points with x>0, defining a as a point on the line between x and y such that the ratio of the distances from x to a and from a to y is t. It then applies the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality to show that the left side of the desired inequality is less than or equal to the right side, proving the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.

For

prove the inequality:

Let and be a point with . let on such that and let and and . so we have

be a point such that

. and i know that (inequality in geometry) . so i prove the inequality. CauchySchwarz inequality

This is my solution:

After squaring, it's equal to:

, (by Cauchy-Schwarz) so we need to prove:
