Prove or disprove an inequality problem












0












$begingroup$


Let $ngeq 1$ be an integer and let $a_1,ldots,a_n$ be positive real numbers, all between $0$ and $1$.



Is it possible to prove or disprove:
$$
{(prod_{i=1}^{n}(1-a_i))}{(1+sum_{i=1}^{n}a_i)}<1
$$
To prove this, I was able to prove this to be true if all $a_1,ldots,a_n$ are the same which is$(1-a)^n(1+an)<1
$ using Bernoulli's Inequality:



Take $x$ root of the inequality:
$$(1-a)(1+an)^{1/a}leqslant (1-n)(1+n)=1-n^2<1$$
But what if $a_1,ldots,a_n$ do not have uniform values?

    Wouldn't the case where all $a_i$ are equal translate to proving $(1-(1-a)^n)(1+na)<1$?

By AM-GM
$$prod_{i=1}^n(1-a_i)left(1+sum_{i=1}^na_iright)<left(frac{sumlimits_{i=1}^n(1-a_i)+1+sumlimits_{i=1}^na_i}{n+1}right)^{n+1}=left(frac{n+1}{n+1}right)^{n+1}=1.$$
The equality does not occur because $1-a_i<1+sumlimits_{i=1}^na_i.$

Note that $1+sum_1^na_i<prod_1^n(1+a_i)$



$implies (prod_1^n(1-a_i))(1+sum_1^na_i)<(prod_1^n(1-a_i))(prod_1^n(1+a_i))=prod_1^n(1-a_i^2)<1$

Is it possible to collect Nectar points via Trainline?
