Áp dụng tính chất của dãy tỉ số bằng nhau ta có:
\(\dfrac{a}{2015}=\dfrac{b}{2016}=\dfrac{c}{2017}=\dfrac{a-b}{2015-2016}=\dfrac{b-c}{2016-2017}=\dfrac{c-a}{2015-2017}\\ \Rightarrow\dfrac{a-b}{-1}=\dfrac{b-c}{-1}=\dfrac{c-a}{-2}\\\dfrac{a-b}{-1}=\dfrac{b-c}{-1}=\dfrac{c-a}{-2}=k\\ \Rightarrow a-b=-k;b-c=-k ;c-a=-2k\\ 4\left(a-b\right)\left(b-c\right)=4\left(-k\right)\left(-k\right)=4k^2\\ \left(c-a\right)^2=\left(-2k\right)^2=4k^2\\ \Rightarrow4\left(a-b\right)\left(b-c\right)=\left(c-a\right)^2\left(ĐPCM\right)\)
