Math Problem Statement

Với a, b, c là các số thực thỏa mãn (3a + 3b + 3c)^3 = 24 + (3a + b - c)^3 + (3b + c - a)^3 + (3c + a - b)^3, chứng minh rằng (a + 2b)(b + 2c)(c + 2a) = 1.

Solution

We are given the condition:

(3a+3b+3c)3=24+(3a+bc)3+(3b+ca)3+(3c+ab)3(3a + 3b + 3c)^3 = 24 + (3a + b - c)^3 + (3b + c - a)^3 + (3c + a - b)^3

We need to prove that:

(a+2b)(b+2c)(c+2a)=1.(a + 2b)(b + 2c)(c + 2a) = 1.

Step-by-step Approach:

  1. Simplify the given equation:

    • Define S=a+b+cS = a + b + c.
    • Rewrite the equation using this notation.
    • Check if the equation suggests any symmetry or specific values for a,b,ca, b, c.
  2. Find a substitution for a,b,ca, b, c:

    • If the equation forces a,b,ca, b, c to take special values (such as roots of unity or a fixed sum), substitute those values.
  3. Prove the required identity:

    • If a specific substitution is found, plug those values into (a+2b)(b+2c)(c+2a)(a + 2b)(b + 2c)(c + 2a).
    • Simplify to verify that the expression equals 1.
