The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we start with the equation given: **Given:** \[ a + b + c = 0 \] We need to evaluate the expression: \[ \frac{2a^2}{b^2 + c^2 - a^2} + \frac{2b^2}{c^2 + a^2 - b^2} + \frac{2c^2}{a^2 + b^2 - c^2} + 3 \] ### Step 1: Substitute values for a, b, and c Since \( a + b + c = 0 \), we can choose values for \( a \), \( b \), and \( c \) that satisfy this equation. Let's take: - \( a = 1 \) - \( b = 1 \) - \( c = -2 \) ### Step 2: Substitute into the expression Now, we substitute these values into the expression: 1. Calculate \( b^2 + c^2 - a^2 \): \[ b^2 + c^2 - a^2 = 1^2 + (-2)^2 - 1^2 = 1 + 4 - 1 = 4 \] 2. Calculate \( c^2 + a^2 - b^2 \): \[ c^2 + a^2 - b^2 = (-2)^2 + 1^2 - 1^2 = 4 + 1 - 1 = 4 \] 3. Calculate \( a^2 + b^2 - c^2 \): \[ a^2 + b^2 - c^2 = 1^2 + 1^2 - (-2)^2 = 1 + 1 - 4 = -2 \] ### Step 3: Substitute back into the expression Now substitute these values back into the expression: \[ \frac{2a^2}{b^2 + c^2 - a^2} = \frac{2 \cdot 1^2}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ \frac{2b^2}{c^2 + a^2 - b^2} = \frac{2 \cdot 1^2}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \] \[ \frac{2c^2}{a^2 + b^2 - c^2} = \frac{2 \cdot (-2)^2}{-2} = \frac{2 \cdot 4}{-2} = \frac{8}{-2} = -4 \] ### Step 4: Combine all parts of the expression Now, combine these results: \[ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} - 4 + 3 \] Calculating this step-by-step: 1. \( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 1 \) 2. \( 1 - 4 = -3 \) 3. \( -3 + 3 = 0 \) ### Final Result Thus, the value of the expression is: \[ 0 \] ### Conclusion The answer is \( 0 \).

Verify that (a ^(2) - b ^(2)) (a ^(2) + b ^(2)) + (b ^(2) - c ^(2)) (b ^(2) + c ^(2)) + (c ^(2)-a ^(2)) + (c ^(2) + a ^(2)) = 0

If a + b + c = 0 , prove that a^(4) + b^(4) + c^(4) = 2(b^(2)c^(2)+c^(2)a^(2)+a^(2)b^(2)) = 1//2 (a^(2) + b^(2) + c^(2))^(2)

If a+b+c=0 then prove the following. (bc+ca+ab)^(2) =b^(2)c^(2) +c^(2)a^(2) +a^(2)b^(2)=(1)/(4) (a^(2) +b^(2) +c^(2))^(2)

Simplify: (a^(2)-(b-c)^(2))/((a+c)^(2)-b^(2))+(b^(2)-(a-c)^(2))/((a+b)^(2)-c^(2))+(c^(2)-(a-b)^(2))/((b+c)^(2)-a^(2))
