Lời giải:
Ta có:
\(A=\frac{a+1}{b^2+1}+\frac{b+1}{c^2+1}+\frac{c+1}{a^2+1}\)
\(=(a+1)-\frac{b^2(a+1)}{b^2+1}+(b+1)-\frac{c^2(b+1)}{c^2+1}+(c+1)-\frac{a^2(c+1)}{a^2+1}\)
\(=(a+b+c+3)-\underbrace{\left(\frac{b^2(a+1)}{b^2+1}+\frac{c^2(b+1)}{c^2+1}+\frac{a^2(c+1)}{a^2+1}\right)}_{M}\)
\(=6-\underbrace{\left(\frac{b^2(a+1)}{b^2+1}+\frac{c^2(b+1)}{c^2+1}+\frac{a^2(c+1)}{a^2+1}\right)}_{M}(*)\)
Áp dụng BĐT AM-GM:
\(M\leq \frac{b^2(a+1)}{2b}+\frac{c^2(b+1)}{2c}+\frac{a^2(c+1)}{2a}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow M\leq \frac{a+b+c+ab+bc+ac}{2}=\frac{3+ab+bc+ac}{2}\)
Theo hệ quả quen thuộc của BĐT AM-GM:
\(3(ab+bc+ac)\leq (a+b+c)^2=9\Rightarrow ab+bc+ac\leq 3\)
Do đó: \(M\leq \frac{3+3}{2}=3(**)\)
Từ \((*); (**)\Rightarrow A\geq 6-3=3\)
Vậy \(A_{\min}=3\Leftrightarrow a=b=c=1\)
