1.
Suppose \(x,y>0\) and \(r\) is a rational number so that \(0\lt r\leq 1\text{.}\) Use the AM/GM inequality to prove
\begin{equation*}
x^{r}y^{1-r} \leq rx+(1-r)y\text{.}
\end{equation*}
2.
Prove that if \(m_{1},...,m_{k}\) are positive integers and \(y_{1},...,y_{k}>0\text{,}\) then
\begin{equation*}
\frac{m_1y_1+m_2y_2+\cdots+m_ky_k}{m_1+m_2+\cdots+m_k} \geq \sqrt[ m_1+m_2+\cdots+m_k]{y_1^{m_1}\cdot y_2^{m_2}\cdots y_k^{m_k}}
\end{equation*}
