Let $ A_1A_2A_3A_4$ be a tetrahedron, $ G$ its centroid, and $ A'_1, A'_2, A'_3,$ and $ A'_4$ the points where the circumsphere of $ A_1A_2A_3A_4$ intersects $ GA_1,GA_2,GA_3,$ and $ GA_4,$ respectively. Prove that \[ GA_1 \cdot GA_2 \cdot GA_3 \cdot GA_ \cdot4 \leq GA'_1 \cdot GA'_2 \cdot GA'_3 \cdot GA'_4\] and \[ \frac{1}{GA'_1} + \frac{1}{GA'_2} + \frac{1}{GA'_3} + \frac{1}{GA'_4} \leq \frac{1}{GA_1} + \frac{1}{GA_2} + \frac{1}{GA_3} + \frac{1}{GA_4}.\]
