a) Áp dụng bất đẳng thức AM-GM ta có:
\(\dfrac{bc}{a}+\dfrac{ac}{b}\ge2\sqrt{\dfrac{abc^2}{ab}}=2\sqrt{c^2}=2\left|c\right|=2c\left(c>0\right)\)
Chứng minh tương tự ta được: \(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}\dfrac{ac}{b}+\dfrac{ab}{c}\ge2a\\\dfrac{bc}{a}+\dfrac{ab}{c}\ge2b\end{matrix}\right.\)
Cộng theo vế: \(\dfrac{bc}{a}+\dfrac{ac}{b}+\dfrac{ab}{c}\ge a+b+c\left(đpcm\right)\)
Áp dụng liên tiếp AM-GM và Cauchy-Schwarz ta được:
\(\dfrac{ab}{a+b}=\dfrac{ab+b^2-b^2}{a+b}=\dfrac{b\left(a+b\right)}{a+b}-\dfrac{b^2}{a+b}=b-\dfrac{b^2}{a+b}\)
Chứng minh tương tự:
\(\left\{{}\begin{matrix}\dfrac{bc}{b+c}=\dfrac{bc+c^2-c^2}{b+c}=\dfrac{c\left(b+c\right)}{b+c}-\dfrac{c^2}{b+c}=c-\dfrac{c^2}{b+c}\\\dfrac{ac}{c+a}=\dfrac{ac+a^2-a^2}{c+a}=\dfrac{a\left(c+a\right)}{c+a}-\dfrac{a^2}{c+a}=a-\dfrac{a^2}{c+a}\end{matrix}\right.\)
Cộng theo vế:
\(\dfrac{ab}{a+b}+\dfrac{bc}{b+c}+\dfrac{ac}{a+c}=a+b+c-\left(\dfrac{b^2}{a+b}+\dfrac{c^2}{b+c}+\dfrac{a^2}{a+c}\right)\le\dfrac{\left(a+b+c\right)^2}{2\left(a+b+c\right)}=a+b+c-\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}\left(đpcm\right)\)
b)Đặt \(A=\dfrac{ab}{a+b}+\dfrac{bc}{b+c}+\dfrac{ca}{c+a}\)
\(A=\dfrac{a\left(a+b\right)-a^2}{a+b}+\dfrac{b\left(b+c\right)-b^2}{a+b}+\dfrac{c\left(c+a\right)-c^2}{c+a}\)
\(A=a+b+c-\dfrac{a^2}{a+b}-\dfrac{b^2}{b+c}-\dfrac{c^2}{c+a}\)
Lại có:\(\dfrac{a^2}{a+b}+\dfrac{b^2}{b+c}+\dfrac{c^2}{c+a}\ge\dfrac{\left(a+b+c\right)^2}{2\left(a+b+c\right)}=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrow A\le a+b+c-\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}=\dfrac{a+b+c}{2}\)
\(\Rightarrowđpcm\)
