Đặt: \(\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}=k\)
\(\Rightarrow a=bk,c=dk\)
Ta có VT:
\(\dfrac{\left(a-b\right)^2}{\left(c-d\right)^2}=\dfrac{\left(bk-b\right)^2}{\left(dk-d\right)^2}\)
\(=\dfrac{b^2\left(k-1\right)^2}{d^2\left(k-1\right)^2}=\dfrac{b^2}{d^2}\) (1)
VT: \(\dfrac{ab}{cd}=\dfrac{bk\cdot b}{dk\cdot d}=\dfrac{b^2k}{d^2k}=\dfrac{b^2}{d^2}\) (2)
Từ (1) và (2)
\(\Rightarrow\dfrac{\left(a-b\right)^2}{\left(c-d\right)^2}=\dfrac{ab}{cd}\left(đpcm\right)\)
Có: \(\dfrac{a}{b}=\dfrac{c}{d}\Leftrightarrow ab=cd\Leftrightarrow\dfrac{a}{c}=\dfrac{b}{d}\)
Áp dụng tính chất của dãy tỉ số bằng nhau ta có:
\(\dfrac{a}{c}=\dfrac{b}{d}=\dfrac{a-b}{c-d}\)\(\Leftrightarrow\left(\dfrac{a}{c}\right)^2=\left(\dfrac{b}{d}\right)^2=\dfrac{ab}{cd}=\left(\dfrac{a-b}{c-d}\right)^2\)
Vậy...
