AI Generated Solution

To show that the points \( A(a, b+c) \), \( B(b, c+a) \), and \( C(c, a+b) \) are collinear, we can use the concept of the area of a triangle formed by these three points. If the area of the triangle is zero, it indicates that the points are collinear. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Set Up the Points**: We have the points: - \( A(a, b+c) \) - \( B(b, c+a) \) ...
