Inequality Proof Using GM-HM Method

The document outlines a mathematical proof using inequalities to show that the condition abc ≤ 1 leads to the conclusion that 1/a + 1/b + 1/c ≥ 3. It applies the GM-HM inequality and the HM-AM inequality to derive the necessary relationships. The final comparison confirms the required result through logical deductions based on the inequalities used.
