Từ \(a + b + c + d \ge 4\sqrt[4]{{abcd}}\) và \(\dfrac{1}{a} + \dfrac{1}{b} + \dfrac{1}{c} + \dfrac{1}{d} \ge 4\sqrt[4]{{\dfrac{1}{{abcd}}}}\)
Suy ra \((a + b + c + d)(\dfrac{1}{a} + \dfrac{1}{b} + \dfrac{1}{c} + \dfrac{1}{d}) \ge 16\)
Hay \(\dfrac{1}{a} + \dfrac{1}{b} + \dfrac{1}{c} + \dfrac{1}{d} \ge \dfrac{{16}}{{a + b + c + d}}\)
