Sum of a Positive Number and its Reciprocal from Calculus

73,044 Views • Jun 6, 2024 • Click to toggle off description
This is a short, animated visual proof demonstrating that sum of a positive real number and its reciprocal is always greater than or equal to 2.

To buy me a coffee, head over to www.buymeacoffee.com/VisualProofs
Thanks!

It turns out that this theorem is equivalent to the Arithmetic Mean-Geometric Mean inequality. The equivalence is implied by the following two proofs:    • Visual Proof of AM-GM Inequality I  
   • x + 1/x is greater than or equal to 2...  

And here are two alternate ways to prove this fact via the Pythagorean Theorem and triangle areas:
   • x plus 1/x is greater than or equal t...  
   • x plus 1/x is greater than or equal t...  

This animation is based on a proof by Roger B. Nelsen from the December 1994 issue of Mathematics Magazine, page 374 (doi.org/10.2307/2690999). You can find this here too: www.maa.org/sites/default/files/Nelsen99959975.pdf

That's a creative use of calculus ngl

another method using calculus:
compaire 1/x + x and 2 so we do
1/x + x - 2
= (x² - 2x + 1)/x
= (x - 1)²/x
(x-1)² always positive
and we have x > 0
That means (x-1)²/x ≥ 0
1/x + x - 2 ≥ 0
1/x + x ≥ 2
but I liked your method

The function f(x) = x + 1/x is an example of a function that is invariant under inversion, meaning it is unchanged when x is replaced with 1/x.

Another way of saying the same thing is that f(x) = x + 1/x is a solution to the functional equation f(x) = f(1/x). A function is invariant under inversion if and only if it is a solution to this functional equation.

It is a kind of symmetry similar to functions that satisfy f(-x)=f(x), called "even" functions, which are symmetrical about the y-axis, except here the function on the interval (0, 1] is symmetric with the function on [1, ∞).

There is a relationship between even functions and functions that are invariant under inversion. Hint: think about how log functions transform multiplication into addition.

I wished you'd give us a little more time at the end of the video to contemplate your question, but it helped to watch the video a second time.

There's a nice visual proof for the AM-GM inequality, using the curveness of ln (or e^x, doesn't really matter) like here.

wow, that's a way to prove it!
so cool!

Such a beautiful proof.

Another way to prove this :
(x-1)^2 >= 0 (because a square is always positive)
x^2-2x+1 >= 0
x^2+1 >= 2x
Now divide by x, the inequality won’t change because x>0
x+1/x >= 2
The equality happens when x=1

Fun fact: the area bounded by the tangent line of f(x) = 1/x at any point x = a with the positive x and y axes is always 2.

Considering its given that x>0 couldnt you multiply both sides by x without any consequence?

Just use AM GM inequality......

@richikdadhich9664

Could also be proved using the property AM is greater than or equal to GM
