If a, b, c are positive real numbers such that
, find the value of 
Given:
, where a, b, c are positive real numbers
Here, we have ![]()
⇒b(a + b-c) = c(a-b + c)
⇒ab + b2-bc = ac-bc + c2(bc is on both the sides and they get subtracted)
⇒ab + b2 = ac + c2
⇒ab-ac = c2-b2
⇒a(b-c) = (c-b)(c + b)
⇒-a(c-b) = (c + b)(c-b)
⇒-a = (c + b)[Here (c-b) is on both the sides,so when they get divided and the result is 1]
⇒(b + c) = -a(commutative property)
We have , ![]()
⇒a(a-b + c) = b(-a + b + c)
⇒a2-ab + ac = -ab + b2 + bc
⇒a2 + ac = b2 + bc
⇒a2-b2 = bc-ac
⇒(a + b)(a-b) = -c(a-b)
⇒a + b = -c
We have ,![]()
⇒a(a + b-c) = c(-a + b + c)
⇒a2 + ab-ac = -ac + bc + c2
⇒a2 + ab = bc + c2
⇒a2-c2 = bc-ab
⇒(a + c)(a-c) = b(c-a)
⇒(a + c)(a-c) = -b(a-c)
⇒a + c = -b
Therefore,
= -1(Here we have substituted the values of (a + b),(b + c),(c + a) from above evaluation)
