Thay ab+bc+ca=2017 vào ta được:
\(\left(a^2+2017\right)\left(b^2+2017\right)\left(c^2+2017\right)\)
\(=\left(a^2+ab+bc+ca\right)\left(b^2+ab+bc+ca\right)\left(c^2+ab+bc+ca\right)\)
\(=\left[\left(a^2+ab\right)+\left(bc+ca\right)\right]\left[\left(b^2+ab\right)+\left(bc+ca\right)\right]\left[\left(c^2+bc\right)+\left(ab+ca\right)\right]\)
\(=\left[a\left(a+b\right)+c\left(b+a\right)\right]\left[b\left(b+a\right)+c\left(b+a\right)\right]\left[c\left(c+b\right)+a\left(b+c\right)\right]\)\(=\left(a+b\right)\left(a+c\right)\left(a+b\right)\left(b+c\right)\left(b+c\right)\left(a+c\right)\)
= \(\left[\left(a+b\right)\left(b+c\right)\left(a+c\right)\right]^2\)
Vậy \(\left(a^2+2017\right)\left(b^2+2017\right)\left(c^2+2017\right)\)là bình phương của số hữu tỉ.
