Lời giải:
Ta có: \(\text{VT}=\frac{a^2}{b}+\frac{b^2}{c}+\frac{c^2}{a}=\frac{a^2}{b}-a+b+\frac{b^2}{c}-b+c+\frac{c^2}{a}-c+a\)
\(=\frac{a^2-ab+b^2}{b}+\frac{b^2-bc+c^2}{c}+\frac{c^2-ca+a^2}{a}\)
Áp dụng BĐT AM-GM:
\(\frac{a^2-ab+b^2}{b}+b\geq 2\sqrt{a^2-ab+b^2}\)
\(\frac{b^2-bc+c^2}{c}+c\geq 2\sqrt{b^2-bc+c^2}\)
\(\frac{c^2-ca+a^2}{a}+a\geq 2\sqrt{c^2-ca+a^2}\)
Cộng theo vế:
\(\Rightarrow \text{VT}+(a+b+c)\geq 2(\sqrt{a^2-ab+b^2}+\sqrt{b^2-bc+c^2}+\sqrt{c^2-ca+a^2})(1)\)
Lại có:
\(\sqrt{a^2-ab+b^2}=\sqrt{\frac{3}{4}(a-b)^2+\frac{1}{4}(a+b)^2}\geq \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}(a+b)^2}=\frac{a+b}{2}\)
TT: \(\sqrt{b^2-bc+c^2}\geq \frac{b+c}{2}; \sqrt{c^2-ca+a^2}\geq \frac{c+a}{2}\)
Suy ra: \(\sqrt{a^2-ab+b^2}+\sqrt{b^2-bc+c^2}+\sqrt{c^2-ca+a^2}\geq a+b+c(2)\)
Từ \((1);(2)\Rightarrow \text{VT}\geq \sqrt{a^2-ab+b^2}+\sqrt{b^2-bc+c^2}+\sqrt{c^2-ca+a^2}\) (đpcm)
Dấu bằng xảy ra khi \(a=b=c\)
