Suppose that $a, b, c$ are real numbers such that for all positive numbers $x_1,x_2,\dots,x_n$ we have $(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^nx_i)^a(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^nx_i^2)^b(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^nx_i^3)^c\ge 1$ Prove that vector $(a, b, c)$ is a nonnegative linear combination of vectors $(-2,1,0)$ and $(-1,2,-1)$.
