# Tessellate S.T.E.M.S - Mathematics - School - Set 2 - Subjective Problem

For positive real numbers $$a,b,c,d,e$$ prove that $(a^3-a+2)(b^3-b+2)(c^3-c+2)(d^3-d+2)(e^3-e+2) \geq \left( S_4- S_2 +1 \right)^2$

where $S_4 = abcd + abce + abde + acde + bcde \\ S_2 = ab+ac+ad+ae+bc+bd+be+cd+ce+de$.

This problem is a part of Tessellate S.T.E.M.S.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

• Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
• Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
• Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
• Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

just break the brackets by simple multiplying and then use AM>=GM and then it will be done.
