Đặt ab + bc + ca = q; abc = r. Ta có:
\(A=\dfrac{\left(ab+bc+ca\right)+6\left(a+b+c\right)+27}{abc+3\left(ab+bc+ca\right)+9\left(a+b+c\right)+27}-\dfrac{1}{3\left(ab+bc+ca\right)}\)
\(A=\dfrac{q+33}{r+3q+36}-\dfrac{1}{3q}\).
Theo bất đẳng thức Schur: \(a^3+b^3+c^3+3abc\ge a^2b+b^2c+c^2a+ab^2+bc^2+ca^2\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(a+b+c\right)^3+9abc\ge4\left(a+b+c\right)\left(ab+bc+ca\right)\)
\(\Leftrightarrow9r\ge4q-1\Leftrightarrow r\ge\dfrac{4q-1}{9}\).
Từ đó \(A\le\dfrac{q+33}{\dfrac{4q-1}{9}+3q+36}-\dfrac{1}{3q}\)
\(\Rightarrow A\leq \frac{27q^2+860q-323}{93q^2+969q}\)
\(\Rightarrow A+\dfrac{1}{10}=\dfrac{\left(3q-1\right)\left(121q+3230\right)}{30q\left(31q+323\right)}\le0\). (Do \(q=ab+bc+ca\le\dfrac{\left(a+b+c\right)^2}{3}=\dfrac{1}{3}\))
\(\Rightarrow A\leq \frac{-1}{10}\). Dấu "=" xảy ra khi và chỉ khi a = b = c = 1.
