Maybe you can also do a video / proof about power means inequality. I don't know how often that comes up for competitions but it's a nice generalization (and easy to remember!)

i have two pieces of advice:
(1) don't skip too many steps; some steps are not as obvious for typical people and you should keep them in your demonstration
(2) explain briefly the logic/thinking of this Cauchy Induction

i dont know if u know about the Jensen Inequality but if we use that on the curve ln(x) then we can very easily prove AM-GM inequality.

why can we set x_(n+1)=...=x_m all equal to A?
ahhhh nvm i gotya 👍
how did u come up with this proof and know that setting x_1=...=x_n to A and all the others to A was gonna cancel out etc. and leave you with the result you wanted? just practice?
