Có: \(a+b+c=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(a+b+c\right)^2=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2bc+2ca=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow2\left(ab+bc+ca\right)=-1\) (do \(a^2+b^2+c^2=1\) )
\(\Leftrightarrow ab+bc+ca=-\dfrac{1}{2}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(ab+bc+ca\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(ab\right)^2+\left(bc\right)^2+\left(ca\right)^2+2ab.bc+2bc.ca+2ca.ab=\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(ab\right)^2+\left(bc\right)^2+\left(ca\right)^2+2abc\left(a+b+c\right)=\dfrac{1}{4}\)
\(\Leftrightarrow \left(ab\right)^2+\left(bc\right)^2+\left(ca\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}\) (do \(a+b+c=0\))
Lại có: \(M=a^4+b^4+c^4\)
\(=\left(a^2+b^2+c^2\right)^2-2\left(a^2b^2 +b^2c^2+c^2a^2\right)\)
\(=1-2\left[\left(ab\right)^2+\left(bc\right)^2+\left(ca\right)^2\right]\) (do \(a^2+b^2+c^2=1\))
\(=1-2.\dfrac{1}{4}\)(do \(\left(ab\right)^2+\left(bc\right)^2+\left(ca\right)^2=\dfrac{1}{4}\))
\(=1-\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
Vậy \(M=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
