Do xyz = 1, ta có thể đặt \(a=\frac{x}{x-1},\)\(b=\frac{y}{y-1},\)\(c=\frac{z}{z-1}\)
Ta có \(abc=\frac{x}{x-1}.\frac{y}{y-1}.\frac{z}{z-1}=\frac{xyz}{\left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right)\left(z-1\right)}=\frac{1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right)\left(z-1\right)}\) (1)
Mặt khác \(\left(a-1\right)\left(b-1\right)\left(c-1\right)=\left(\frac{x}{x-1}-1\right).\left(\frac{y}{y-1}-1\right).\left(\frac{z}{z-1}-1\right)\)
\(=\frac{x-x+1}{x-1}.\frac{y-y+1}{y-1}.\frac{z-z+1}{z-1}=\frac{1}{\left(x-1\right)\left(y-1\right)\left(z-1\right)}\)(2)
So sánh (1) và (2) ta có \(abc=\left(a-1\right)\left(b-1\right)\left(c-1\right)\)\(\Leftrightarrow\)\(abc=abc-ab-bc-ca+a+b+c-1\)\(\Leftrightarrow\)\(ab+bc+ca-a-b-c+1=0\) (3)
Mà với mọi a, b, c ta luôn có \(\left(a+b+c-1\right)^2\ge0\)
Hay \(a^2+b^2+c^2+2\left(ab+bc+ca-a-b-c+1\right)-1\ge0\) (4)
Thay (3) vào (4) ta được \(a^2+b^2+c^2\ge1\) hay \(\frac{x^2}{\left(x-1\right)^2}+\frac{y^2}{\left(y-1\right)^2}+\frac{z^2}{\left(z-1\right)^2}\ge1\)
