Proof without words of the AM–GM inequality: PR is the diameter of a circle centered on O; its radius AO is the arithmetic mean of a and b. Using the geometric mean theorem, triangle PGR's altitude GQ is the geometric mean. For any ratio a:b, AO ≥ GQ. Visual proof that (x + y) 2 ≥ 4xy. Taking square roots and dividing by two gives the AM ...
There are three inequalities between means to prove. There are various methods to prove the inequalities, including mathematical induction, the Cauchy–Schwarz inequality, Lagrange multipliers, and Jensen's inequality. For several proofs that GM ≤ AM, see Inequality of arithmetic and geometric means.
1.5 Fifth proof: AM-GM. 1.6 Sixth proof: Titu's lemma. ... Download QR code; Print/export ... We then apply the AM-GM inequality to obtain
Another application of this theorem provides a geometrical proof of the AM–GM inequality in the case of two numbers. For the numbers p and q one constructs a half circle with diameter p + q. Now the altitude represents the geometric mean and the radius the arithmetic mean of the two numbers.

Yes, I think that's it. There are at least five different proofs of this inequality out there, at least I know five. I am not sure if this particular one can be attributed to whom. I am not even sure if we are talking about the same Newman! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.226.170.133 (talk • contribs)
