Từ giả thiết:
\(a^2+b^2+c^2+a^2+b^2+c^2+2\left(ab+bc+ca\right)\le4\)
\(\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2+ab+bc+ca\le2\)
Ta có:
\(\dfrac{ab+1}{\left(a+b\right)^2}=\dfrac{1}{2}.\dfrac{2ab+2}{\left(a+b\right)^2}\ge\dfrac{1}{2}.\dfrac{2ab+a^2+b^2+c^2+ab+bc+ca}{\left(a+b\right)^2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\dfrac{\left(a+b\right)^2+\left(a+c\right)\left(b+c\right)}{\left(a+b\right)^2}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}.\dfrac{\left(a+c\right)\left(b+c\right)}{\left(a+b\right)^2}\)
Tương tự và cộng lại, đồng thời đặt \(\left(a+b;b+c;c+a\right)=\left(x;y;z\right)\):
\(\Rightarrow VT\ge\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}\left(\dfrac{yz}{x^2}+\dfrac{xz}{y^2}+\dfrac{xy}{z^2}\right)\ge\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{1}{2}.3\sqrt[3]{\dfrac{yz.xz.xy}{x^2y^2z^2}}=3\) (đpcm)
Dấu "=" xảy ra khi \(a=b=c=\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}\)
