Abstract

For two positive real numbers xx and yy let HH, GG, AA and QQ be the harmonic mean, the geometric mean, the arithmetic mean and the quadratic mean of xx and yy, respectively. In this note, we prove that \begin{equation*} A\cdot G\ge Q\cdot H, \end{equation*} and that for each integer nn \begin{equation*} A^n+G^n\le Q^n+H^n.\end{equation*} We also discuss and compare the first and the second above inequality for n=1n=1 with some known inequalities involving the mentioned classical means, the Seiffert mean PP, the logarithmic mean LL and the identric mean II of two positive real numbers xx and yy.
