Question Number 21471 by Joel577 last updated on 24/Sep/17

If  a + b + c = 0, then  (((a + b)(b + c)(a + c))/(abc)) is equal to ...

$$\mathrm{If}\:\:{a}\:+\:{b}\:+\:{c}\:=\:\mathrm{0},\:\mathrm{then} \\ $$$$\frac{\left({a}\:+\:{b}\right)\left({b}\:+\:{c}\right)\left({a}\:+\:{c}\right)}{{abc}}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{equal}\:\mathrm{to}\:... \\ $$

a+b=−c  ∴(((a+b)(b+c)(c+a))/(abc))=(((−c)(−a)(−b))/(abc))=−1

$${a}+{b}=−{c} \\ $$$$\therefore\frac{\left({a}+{b}\right)\left({b}+{c}\right)\left({c}+{a}\right)}{{abc}}=\frac{\left(−{c}\right)\left(−{a}\right)\left(−{b}\right)}{{abc}}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

   An other way   _(−)     a+b+c=0⇒ { ((a=−(b+c))),((b=−(a+c))),((c=−(a+b))) :}  (((a + b)(b + c)(a + c))/(abc))=  (((a + b)(b + c)(a + c))/(−(b+c).−(a+c).−(a+b)))=−1

$$\underset{−} {\:\:\:\mathrm{An}\:\mathrm{other}\:\mathrm{way}\:\:\:}\:\: \\ $$$${a}+{b}+{c}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow\begin{cases}{{a}=−\left({b}+{c}\right)}\\{{b}=−\left({a}+{c}\right)}\\{{c}=−\left({a}+{b}\right)}\end{cases} \\ $$$$\frac{\left({a}\:+\:{b}\right)\left({b}\:+\:{c}\right)\left({a}\:+\:{c}\right)}{{abc}}= \\ $$$$\frac{\left({a}\:+\:{b}\right)\left({b}\:+\:{c}\right)\left({a}\:+\:{c}\right)}{−\left({b}+{c}\right).−\left({a}+{c}\right).−\left({a}+{b}\right)}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$
