Let $a,b\in\mathbb{R}$. Prove th inequality $\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\geq{2}$
Proof
We are given $\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\geq{2}$, .
Let $(a-b)^2\geq{0}$ so that $a^2-2ab+b^2\geq{0}\Leftrightarrow{a^2+b^2}\geq{2ab}$
$\Leftrightarrow\frac{a^2+b^2}{ab}\geq{2}$
$\Leftrightarrow\frac{a}{b}+\frac{b}{a}\geq{2}$
Equality holds if and only if $a-b=0$ or $a=b$.
