Ta có:
\(\frac{a+1}{1+b^2}=a+1-\frac{\left(a+1\right)b^2}{1+b^2}\ge a+1-\frac{\left(a+1\right)b^2}{2b}=a+1-\frac{ab+b}{2}\left(1\right)\)
Tương tụ ta có:
\(\hept{\begin{cases}\frac{\left(b+1\right)}{1+c^2}\ge b+1-\frac{bc+c}{2}\left(2\right)\\\frac{\left(c+1\right)}{1+a^2}\ge c+1-\frac{ca+a}{2}\left(3\right)\end{cases}}\)
Từ (1), (2), (3) ta có:
\(M\ge a+b+c+3-\frac{ab+bc+ca+a+b+c}{2}\)
\(=3+3-\frac{ab+bc+ca+3}{2}\)
\(\ge\frac{9}{2}-\frac{\left(a+b+c\right)^2}{6}=3\)
