How to prove that $b^2c^2+c^2a^2+a^2b^2 \gt abc(a+b+c)$
2,386
HINT: use that $$x^2+y^2+z^2\geq xy+yz+zx$$ after my hint above we have $$a^2b^2+b^2c^2+c^2a^2\geq a^2bc+ab^2c+abc^2$$

I am stuck with the following problem.
If $a>0$, $b>0$, $c >0$ and not all equal then prove that: $$b^2c^2+c^2a^2+a^2b^2 \gt abc(a+b+c).$$
Additional info:I'm looking for solutions using AM-GM .
I don't know how to progress . I will be grateful if someone explains . Thanks in advance ..
