Upper bound for the $n$-th derivative of a rational function $\frac{f}{f+g}$

Let $f$ and $g$ be real polynomials with nonnegative coefficients. Let $$ h = \frac{f}{f+g}. $$ I want to prove that the $n$-th derivative of $h$ satisfies: There exists $C > 0$ such that $$ |h^{(...

seeking proofs: infinite series inequalities

Question. Numerically, the following is convincing. However, is there a proof? $$\left(\sum_{k\geq1}\frac1{\sqrt{2^k+3^k}}\right)^4 <\pi^2\left(\sum_{k\geq1}\frac1{2^k+3^k}\right)\left(\sum_{k\...
