There are several standard ways of proving a given inequality. We have already seen how to obtain the AM-GM inequality using forward and backward induction. One can also use the known standard inequalities or use ideas from calculus. In some cases trigonometric substitutions simplify the result. We take each of these separately and illustrate them using examples.
