Inequality Proof for Non-Negative Numbers

The document presents a mathematical proof regarding non-negative numbers a, b, and c that satisfy a + b + c = 2. It demonstrates an inequality involving the products of these numbers and their squares, concluding that the inequality holds true for real numbers. Equality is achieved when a = b = 1 and c = 0 or through cyclic permutations of these values.
