did the same way.......................
me too, i did the same way
Did the same way......
someone can give me the value of a,b,c?

The interesting aspect of this question is there there are infinitely many sets of a , b , c which satisfy the conditions in the question, but they must all have the same value.
For example, if a , b , c are roots of the equation X 3 − 2 X 2 + 0 X + T = 0 , for any constant T , then they will satisfy the 2 given equations.
Same method!
yum tasty solution......heehehe ..... to a tasty problem....... oops sorry I am a kind of food lover ........
by the way I love the way you present it sir
i also solved it in same way.
I did slightly different.
( a + b + c ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2 ( a b + b c + c a )
2 2 = 4 + 2 ( a b + b c + c a ) ⇒ a b + b c + c a = 0
⇒ c a b + b c + c a = 0 ⇒ c a b + b + a = 0
⇒ c a b = − ( a + b )
Similarly,
a b c = − ( b + c ) and b c a = − ( c + a )
⇒ c a b + a b c + b c a = − 2 ( a + b + c ) = − 4
Exactly what I did....You simply rock!!!! :D. Three problems in a row that we've been using the same approaches
lebih simpel ini
me too ........... :)
I did it that way too. :)
The very same way.
(a+b+c)^2=2^2; Solve above equation we get, ab+bc+ca=0; THEN again squaring on both sides of the result ab+bc+ca=0 Then solve we get, (ab) ^2 +(bc) ^2 +(ca)^2+2 abc[a+b+c]=0 Then divide on both by any we get, ab/c+ac/b+bc/a=-2(a+b+c)=-2 2=-4
Set ( a + b + c ) 2 = a 2 + b 2 + c 2
Which becomes a 2 + b 2 + c 2 + 2 ( a b + b c + a c ) = a 2 + b 2 + c 2
So a b + b c + a c = 0
Separating them out:
a b = − a c − b c ⟶ c a b = − a − b
a c = − a b − b c ⟶ b a c = − a − c
b c = − a b − a c ⟶ a b c = − b − c
Adding up the equations:
c a b + b a c + a b c = − 2 a − 2 b − 2 c = − 2 ( a + b + c ) = − 4
(a+b+c) 2 = a 2 +b 2 + c 2 +2(ab+bc+ca) = 4 as given that implies ab+bc+ca = 0 and again squaring ab+bc+ca we get (ab) 2 +(bc) 2+(ca) 2 +2abc(a+b+c) that implies (ab) 2+(bc) 2+(ca) 2 =-4abc substituting in given (ab/c)+(bc/a)+(ca/b) gives the value -4 {* indicates power}
a+b+c=2
(a+b+c)²=4=a²+b²+c²+2(ab+bc+ac)
Which gives ab+bc+ac=0
Dividing by a, b & c gives
b+(bc/a)+c=0
a+c+(ac/b)=0
(ab/c)+b+a=0
Adding all 3 gives
(ab/c)+(bc/a)+(ac/b) = -2(a+b+c) = -4

( a + b + c ) 2 = ( a 2 + b 2 + c 2 ) + 2 ( a b + b c + c a ) , 4 = 4 + 2 ( a b + b c + c a ) , a b + b c + c a = 0 . Hence, 0 a 2 b 2 + b 2 c 2 + c 2 a 2 = ( a b + b c + c a ) 2 = a 2 b 2 + b 2 c 2 + c 2 a 2 + 2 a b c ( a + b + c ) , = − 4 a b c . And so c a b + b a c + a b c = a b c a 2 b 2 + b 2 c 2 + c 2 a 2 = a b c − 4 a b c = − 4 .
