In the following problems (1419--1420) it is useful to apply a change of coordinates.

Prove that on the circle x2+y2=1x^{2}+y^{2}=1 the inequality

1a2≤Ax2+Bxy+Cy2≤1b2, \frac{1}{a^{2}} \leq Ax^{2}+Bxy+Cy^{2} \leq \frac{1}{b^{2}},

holds, if the curve Ax2+Bxy+Cy2=1Ax^{2}+Bxy+Cy^{2}=1 is an ellipse with semi-axes aa and bb.

The surface Ax2+By2+Cz2+Dxy+Exz+Fyz=1Ax^{2}+By^{2}+Cz^{2}+Dxy+Exz+Fyz=1, after a suitable rotation of axes, has the equation A1x12+B1y12+C1z12=1A_{1}x_{1}^{2}+B_{1}y_{1}^{2}+C_{1}z_{1}^{2}=1, where A1<B1<C1A_{1} < B_{1} < C_{1}. Prove the inequality

A1≤Ax2+By2+Cz2+Dxy+Exz+Fyzx2+y2+z2≤C1. A_{1} \leq \frac{Ax^{2}+By^{2}+Cz^{2}+Dxy+Exz+Fyz}{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}} \leq C_{1}.

Hadamard's inequality for the determinant of the third order

u=∣abca1b1c1a2b2c2∣ u = \begin{vmatrix} a & b & c \\ a_{1} & b_{1} & c_{1} \\ a_{2} & b_{2} & c_{2} \end{vmatrix}

has the form

∣u∣⩽1,if a2+b2+c2=1, a12+b12+c12=1, a22+b22+c22=1. \left|u\right| \leqslant 1, \quad \text{if } a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2} = 1,\ a_{1}^{2}+b_{1}^{2}+c_{1}^{2} = 1,\ a_{2}^{2}+b_{2}^{2}+c_{2}^{2} = 1.

Prove this inequality.

Maclaurin's inequalities: if x1,x2,…,xn⩾0x_{1}, x_{2}, \ldots , x_{n} \geqslant 0 and x1+x2+…+xn=nax_{1}+x_{2}+\ldots +x_{n} = na, then

x1x2+x1x3+…+xn−1xn⩽n(n−1)1⋅2a2, x_{1}x_{2}+x_{1}x_{3}+\ldots +x_{n-1}x_{n} \leqslant \frac{n(n-1)}{1\cdot 2}a^{2}, x1x2x3+x1x2x4+…+xn−2xn−1xn⩽n(n−1)(n−2)1⋅2⋅3a3, x_{1}x_{2}x_{3}+x_{1}x_{2}x_{4}+\ldots +x_{n-2}x_{n-1}x_{n} \leqslant \frac{n(n-1)(n-2)}{1\cdot 2\cdot 3}a^{3},

and so on. Prove these inequalities.

Huygens's problem (see problem 1807) can be reduced to proving the inequality:

(1+u1)(1+u2)…(1+un)⩾(1+q)n;uk>0, (1+u_{1})(1+u_{2})\ldots (1+u_{n}) \geqslant (1+q)^{n}; \quad u_{k} > 0,

if u1u2…un=qnu_{1}u_{2}\ldots u_{n} = q_{n}. Prove this inequality.
