+80 Let a, b, c >0
Prove that \(\frac{a^3}{b^2(5a+2b)}+\frac{b^3}{c^2(5b+2c)} + \frac{c^3}{a^2(5c+2a)} \geq \frac{3}{7}\).
I'm currently dying:
Here is my thought process:
By the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality,
\(∑\limits_{cycl}a^3b^2(5a+2b)∑\limits_{cycl}[ab^2(5a+2b)]≥(a^2+b^2+c^2)^2.\)
Thus, \(∑\limits_{cycl}a^3b^2(5a+2b)≥(a^2+b^2+c^2)^2∑\limits_{cycl}[ab^2(5a+2b)]≥\frac{3}{7}.\)
I have no clue from where to go from here, if somesone could help me, it would be great.

I don't know if this is correct or not. This is too challenging for a beginner in proving inequalities...
