now a term is a square so its an upward parabola and the expressions is less than zero so clearly it has 2 real roots and the expressions indicates those points where the curve is bellow x axis between the 2 roots!!!
here D < 0 since here the roots are not there
 
so 4(ab + bc) <= 4(a2 + b2) (b2 + c2)   //= bcoz expressions has <=
 
after cancelling terms we have
 
2ab2c <= (ac)2 + b4  
 
Dividing by ab2c
 
2 <= ac/b2 + b2/ac
 
thus t + 1/t >= 2
 
(t - 1/t)2 >= 0 which is always true but t is not zero
 
t  >= 1/t
 
t2 -1 >=  0  (t-1)(1+1) >= 0
t <= -1   and t >= 1
 
for t = 1 we have a GP here 's ur answr!!!!
Rate me if i am correct
