    The document contains 10 problems involving proofs of inequalities using the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality. The Cauchy-Schwarz inequality states that for any set of real numbers a1, a2, ..., an and b1, b2, ..., bn, the sum of their pairwise products a1b1 + a2b2 + ... + anbn is less than or equal to the square root of the sum of the squares of a1, a2, ..., an multiplied by the sum of the squares of b1, b2, ..., bn. The document provides a hint reminding the reader of this inequality and includes an additional lemma involving four real numbers a, b, x, y where x and y
