a)
ĐKXĐ: x khác -4;-5;-6;-7
\(\dfrac{1}{x^2+9x+20}+\dfrac{1}{x^2+11x+20}+\dfrac{1}{x^2+13x+42}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+5\right)}+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+5\right)\left(x+6\right)}+\dfrac{1}{\left(x+6\right)\left(x+7\right)}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{x+4}-\dfrac{1}{x+5}+\dfrac{1}{x+5}-\dfrac{1}{x+6}+\dfrac{1}{x+6}-\dfrac{1}{x+7}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \Leftrightarrow\dfrac{1}{x+4}-\dfrac{1}{x+7}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \Leftrightarrow\dfrac{3}{\left(x+4\right)\left(x+7\right)}=\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \Rightarrow x^2+11x+28=24\\ \Leftrightarrow x^2+11x+4=0\)
ta có: \(\Delta=11^2-4.1.4=105>0\) nên phương trình có 2 nghiệm phân biệt.
\(\Rightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}x_1=\dfrac{-11-\sqrt{105}}{2}\\x_2=\dfrac{-11+\sqrt{105}}{2}\end{matrix}\right.\)
