please close this PSQ. Such integrals are routinely presented in any introductory calculus textbooks.

Q: Open Problem In AOPS about inequality

Gregorius WillsonIf $a,b,c,d$ are positive real numbers such that $$\frac{1}{1+a}+\frac 1{1+b}+\frac 1{1+c}+\frac 1{1+d}=2,$$then prove or disprove $$\frac1{\sqrt a}+\frac1{\sqrt b}+\frac1{\sqrt c}+\frac1{\sqrt d}+\frac{4\left(3\sqrt2-4\right)}{a+b+c+d}\geq3\sqrt2.$$ (V. Cîrtoaje and L. Giugiuc, 2022) link to aop...

@Peter Not clear what you mean. That a question is discussed elsewhere in a "private" thread should play no role on judging topicality here.

cv-pls geometry While the current version is something of an improvement over the original, it is still an unmotivated PSQ. I am rather surprised that it has been reopened. :/ I made my own question, but I can't solve it, any help appreciated‭ - Lewis Winstanley‭ 2022-03-08 11:25:05Z

@XanderHenderson I could have sworn I previously voted to delete, but was reopened. In any case, I've voted to close it; I had already awarded a DV. I'm hoping if closed, I will be able to cast a delete vote, since it seems it was reopened before deletion.

@KReiser from a user with almost 2.5K rep? Unbelievable. Already closed, via help from Xander. I added a downvote.

^^^ @Xander regarding the linked question above; the question belongs on philosophy.se, or closed as off topic, as the asker is conflating, philosophical quotes, beyond their understanding, with strict definitions, trying to make the definitions explain the quotes. In any case, Peter's message immediately above needs mod attention.

Thanks for your comment. I don't understand who you are addressing? You want me to erase what I wrote in response to Rob Arthan? Sure. Just don't play games with me.
Thanks for the action, of course. Don't get the "pot meet kettle".

@amWhy I linked to a comment in which a user accused someone else of being arrogant. I thought that my intention was clear. :(

@XanderHenderson Sorry, I only saw the link to the question/comments. So sorry! I get it. :)
@XanderHenderson Next time I don't understand a link or comment, I'll simply ask for clarification. I was immediately worried something I said there was off base. So I will ask and not conclude anything until I receive clarification, and I trust you will address me if you have feedback to give me.

No worries. I'm tired, and have had a poor track record of communicating intent today.
I really want to sleep, but (a) it is only 4:30 here, and (b) I have meetings for the next four hours, at least.

@XanderHenderson No worries. Oh, no! meetings on top of work! hope you can sleep in a bit, depending on your schedule tomorrow. Props to you.

Inviting help to expedite the deletion of this question, based on the fact it is a PSQ from a contest question, absent any context, and answered fully in an answer. Downvote only if you think the question deserves it; else, it can be deleted in a bit of time. Given that the OP received a full answer, I have little faith the asker will improve the question.

@amWhy I've been sleeping terribly of late. :(
I went to bed at 10 last night (could not get to sleep), and woke up at 3:30 am. :/
I am so tired of living in a pandemic.
