Answer:
a2 + b2 + c2 − ab − bc − ca
Now we have to Multiplying and dividing the expression by 2,
= 2(a2 + b2 + c2 − ab − bc – ca) / 2
= (2a2 + 2b2 + 2c2 − 2ab − 2bc − 2ca) / 2
= (a2 − 2ab + b2 + b2 − 2bc + c2 + c2− 2ca + a2) / 2
= [(a − b)2 + (b − c)2 + (c − a)2] / 2
{ NOTE = Square of a number is always greater than or equal to zero.}
Hence sum of the squares is also greater than or equal to zero
∴ [(a − b)2 + (b − c)2 + (c − a)2] ≥ 0 and {(a − b)2 + (b − c)2 + (c − a)2}/2= 0 when a = b = c.
NOW a2 + b2 + c2 – ab – ac - bc is always non-negative for all its values of a, b and c.
