All Trigonometric Inequality in Triangle
Problem
Solution
As $\sin A\sin B=\cos C+\cos A\cos B,\,$ we need to prove that
$\displaystyle 3\sum_{cycl}\cos A\ge 2\sum_{cycl}\cos A+2\sum_{cycl}\cos A\cos B,$
which is the same as
$\displaystyle \sum_{cycl}\cos A\ge 2\sum_{cycl}\cos A\cos B.$
$\displaystyle 1\lt \sum_{cycl}\cos A\le \frac{3}{2}$
so that
$\displaystyle \sum_{cycl}\cos A\ge \frac{2}{3}\left(\sum_{cycl}\cos A\right)^2.$
Suffice it to prove that
$\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}\left(\sum_{cycl}\cos A\right)^2\ge 2\sum_{cycl}\cos A\cos B.$
But this is equivalent, due to, say, the Rearrangement inequality, to the obvious
$\displaystyle \left(\sum_{cycl}\cos A\right)^2\ge 3\sum_{cycl}\cos A\cos B.$
