a. ĐK: a, b, c khác 0.
\(\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}+\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}+\frac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ac}=1\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}-1\right]+\left[\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}+\frac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ca}\right]=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\frac{\left(a-b\right)^2-c^2}{2ab}+\frac{1}{2c}\left[\frac{c^2-\left(a^2-b^2\right)}{b}+\frac{c^2+\left(a^2-b^2\right)}{a}\right]=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\frac{\left(a-b\right)^2-c^2}{2ab}+\frac{1}{2c}\left[\frac{c^2\left(a+b\right)-\left(a^2-b^2\right)\left(a-b\right)}{ab}\right]=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\frac{\left(a-b\right)^2-c^2}{2ab}+\frac{\left(a+b\right)\left(c^2-\left(a-b\right)^2\right)}{2abc}=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[\left(a-b\right)^2-c^2\right]\left(1-\frac{a+b}{c}\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(a-b-c\right)\left(a-b+c\right)\left(c-a-b\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow a=b+c\)hoặc \(b=a+c\)hoặc \(c=a+b\).
b) Không mất tính tổng quả. G/s: a = b + c
Khi đó ta có:
\(\frac{a^2+b^2-c^2}{2ab}=\frac{\left(b+c\right)^2+b^2-c^2}{2\left(b+c\right)b}=1\)
\(\frac{b^2+c^2-a^2}{2bc}=\frac{b^2+c^2-\left(b+c\right)^2}{2bc}=-1\)
\(\frac{c^2+a^2-b^2}{2ca}=\frac{c^2+\left(b+c\right)^2-b^2}{2\left(b+c\right)c}=1\)
=> Điều phải chứng minh.
