Prove the following inequality from jensen's inequality



By using the concave function f(x)=ln(x) inside the jensen inequality, I get the result:
nt1t2tnt1++tnn


Where t1,,tnR>0



From this result, I am trying to prove that
x4+y4+z4+168xyz



My attempt at proving this is as follows, let n=4, t1=x,t2=y,t3=z and t4=2, hence:



42xyzx+y+z+24




2xyz(x+y+z+2)444



8xyz(x+y+z+2)443



But now I have trouble trying to get the upper limit to x4+y4+z4+16.


Answer



You almost got it, the solution is to set
t1=x4,t2=y4,t3=z4,t4=16.
This gives you
2xyzx4+y4+z4+164

, which is what you want.
