Problem B. 5195. (October 2021)

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. A hatványfüggvény szigorú monotonitását használva \(\displaystyle x,y>0\) alapján kapjuk, hogy

\(\displaystyle x^{p}\cdot y^{1-p}<(x+y)^p\cdot (x+y)^{1-p}=x+y,\)

így a feladat állítása valóban teljesül.
