Arithmetic mean geometric mean inequality unclear

$begingroup$


I know that the AM-GM inequality takes the form $$ frac{x + y}{2} geq sqrt{xy},$$ but I read in a book another form which is $$ frac{x^2 + y^2}{2} geq |xy|,$$ but I am wondering how the second comes from the first? could anyone explain this for me please?

          If you plug $x=X^2$, $y=Y^2$ into the first inequality you get
          $$frac{X^2+Y^2}{2} ge sqrt{X^2Y^2} = sqrt{(XY)^2}=|XY|,$$
          which is the second inequality (modulo capitalization).

            The AM-GM inequality for $n$ non-negative values is



            $frac1{n}(sum_{k=1}^n x_k)
            ge (prod_{k=1}^n x_k)^{1/n}
            $            .



            This can be rewritten in two ways.



            First,
            by simple algebra,



            $(sum_{k=1}^n x_i)^n
            ge n^n(prod_{k=1}^n x_k)
            $            .



            Second,
            letting $x_k = y_k^n$,
            this becomes



            $frac1{n}(sum_{k=1}^n y_k^n)
            ge prod_{k=1}^n y_k
            $            .



            It is useful to recognize
            these disguises.
