Giả thiết tương đương \(\left(x-1\right)^2+\left(y+2\right)^2+\left(z-3\right)^2=29\).
Áp dụng bđt Cauchy - Schwarz ta có:
\(\left(2x-3y+4z-20\right)^2=\left[2\left(x-1\right)-3\left(y+2\right)+4\left(z-3\right)\right]^2\le\left(2^2+3^2+4^2\right)\left[\left(x-1\right)^2+\left(y+2\right)^2+\left(z-3\right)^2\right]=29^2\Rightarrow\left|2x-3y+4z-20\right|\le29\)
