Solution 1 by Mohamed Amine Ben Ajiba-Tanger-Morocco

Let ≔ … .
We have :

=( + + ⋯+ )+ − ⏞
≥ … + − = + −
↔ − ≥ ( − ) ↔ ( − )( + +⋯+ − )≥ ↔
≥ (∴ ≥ ,∀ ≥ )
By Hӧlder' s inequality, we have :

( + )( + )…( + )≥ + . … =( + ) ⏞
≥ .

Therefore,
( + )( + )…( + )≥ .
Solution 2 by Sanong Huayrerai-Nakon Pathom-Thailand

… + − ≤ … and
+ + +⋯+ + − = … ≤( + + + ⋯+ )
Hence, we will to obtain:
+ + ⋯+ ≥ and … ≥

Consider ( + )( + )…( + )( + )≥ + ( … ) ≥

≥ + ( ) =( + ) =
