Let x = tan A , y = tan B and z = tan C . Then, x + y + z = x y z ⟹ tan A + tan B + tan C = tan A tan B tan C . This means that A , B and C are the angles of a triangle. Then, we have:
S = c y c ∑ 1 + x 2 x = c y c ∑ 1 + tan 2 A tan A = c y c ∑ sec 2 A tan A = c y c ∑ sec A tan A = c y c ∑ cos A sin A ⋅ cos A = c y c ∑ sin A
⟹ S = sin A + sin B + sin C = sin A + sin B + sin ( 1 8 0 ∘ − ( A + B ) ) = sin A + sin B + sin ( A + B )
For a fixed A , the S is maximum when:
∂ B ∂ S ∂ B ∂ ( sin A + sin B + sin ( A + B ) ) cos B + cos ( A + B ) cos B ⟹ B ⟹ B ⟹ S m a x ( A ) = 0 = 0 = 0 = − cos ( A + B ) = cos ( 1 8 0 ∘ − A − B ) = 1 8 0 ∘ − A − B = 9 0 ∘ − 2 A = sin A + sin ( 9 0 ∘ − 2 A ) + sin ( A + 9 0 ∘ − 2 A ) = sin A + 2 cos 2 A
And S is maximum when:
∂ A ∂ S m a x ( A ) ∂ A ∂ ( sin A + 2 cos 2 A ) cos A − sin 2 A cos A ⟹ A ⟹ B ⟹ C = 0 = 0 = 0 = sin 2 A = 6 0 ∘ = 9 0 ∘ − 2 6 0 ∘ = 6 0 ∘ = 6 0 ∘
⟹ S m a x = 3 sin 6 0 ∘ = 2 3 3
⟹ a + b + c = 3 + 3 + 2 = 8
Let x = t a n ( A ) , y = t a n ( B ) , z = t a n ( C ) .Then given condition reduces to t a n ( A ) + t a n ( B ) + t a n ( C ) = t a n ( A ) t a n ( B ) t a n ( C ) .
This is true if A,B,C are angles of a triangle (or more generally, their sum is an integral multiple of π .)
So we need to maximize s i n ( A ) + s i n ( B ) + s i n ( C ) which turns out to be if all angles are 3 π or the triangle is equilateral.
Thus the maximum value is 2 3 3 which means a + b + c = 8
