Abstract
In a proof of the arithmetic-geometric mean (AGM) inequality is presented using the functional-equation approach of dynamic programming. The object of this note is to review this proof and to present a second proof using the same technique. On the way, we can appreciate the usefulness of the dynamic programming method and see two elementary proofs of a simple, but very important, inequality.
