If d = f g f + g d = \frac{f-g}{f+g} , then we can see that 1 + d = 2 f f + g 1+d = \frac{2f}{f+g} and 1 d = 2 g f + g 1-d = \frac{2g}{f+g}

So 1 + d 1 d = 2 f f + g 2 g f + g = f g \dfrac{1+d}{1-d} = \dfrac{\frac{2f}{f+g}}{\frac{2g}{f+g}}=\dfrac{f}{g}

So with what we are given, we can see that: 1 + x 1 x 1 + y 1 y 1 + z 1 z = a b b c c a = 1 \begin{array}{c}~\dfrac{1+x}{1-x}\cdot\dfrac{1+y}{1-y}\cdot\dfrac{1+z}{1-z} &= \dfrac{a}{b}\cdot\dfrac{b}{c}\cdot\dfrac{c}{a}\\~\\~\\&=\boxed{1} \end{array}
