Ta có:
(a + b + c)2 = 0 => a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca) = 0
=> a2 + b2 + c2 = -2(ab + bc + ca)
=> (a2 + b2 + c2)2 = 4(ab + bc + ca)2
=> a4 + b4 + c4 + 2(a2b2 + b2c2 + c2a2) = 4[a2b2 + b2c2 + c2a2 + 2(ab2c + bc2a + ca2b)
=> a4 + b4 + c4 = 2(a2b2 + b2c2 + c2a2) + 8abc(a + b + c)
=> a4 + b4 + c4 = 2(a2b2 + b2c2 + c2a2) (vì a + b + c = 0) (1)
Có: \(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}2\left(a^2b^2+b^2c^2+c^2a^2\right)=2\left(a^2b^2+b^2c^2+c^2a^2+2ab^2c+2a^2bc+2abc^2\right)\\2\left(a^4+b^4+c^4\right)=a^4+b^4+c^4+2\left(a^2b^2+b^2c^2+c^2a^2\right)\end{matrix}\right.\)
\(\Rightarrow\left\{{}\begin{matrix}2\left(a^2b^2+b^2c^2+c^2a^2\right)=2\left(ab+bc+ca\right)^2\left(2\right)\\a^4+b^4+c^4=\dfrac{\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)}{2}\left(3\right)\end{matrix}\right.\)
Từ (1); (2) và (3) ta có đpcm
