a) Có:
\(a+b+c=0\\\Leftrightarrow\left(a+b+c\right)^2=0\\ \Leftrightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2bc+2ca=0\\ \Leftrightarrow2ab+2bc+2ca=-1\\ \Leftrightarrow ab+bc+ca=-\dfrac{1}{2}\\ \Leftrightarrow\left(ab+bc+ca\right)^2=\left(-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}\\ \Leftrightarrow a^2b^2+b^2c^2+c^2a^2+2a^2bc+2ab^2c+2abc^2=\dfrac{1}{4}\\ \Leftrightarrow a^2b^2+b^2c^2+c^2a^2+2abc\left(a+b+c\right)=\dfrac{1}{4}\\ \Leftrightarrow a^2b^2+b^2c^2+c^2a^2=\dfrac{1}{4}-0=\dfrac{1}{4} \)
