a2+b2=2

a2+b2>=2ab
2a2+2b2>=(a+b)2

Hence, (a+b)2<= 4

hence (a+b) lies between -2 and 2

now try the 2nd part yourself.. ?

a2 +b2 +c2 + 2(ab+bc+ac) = (a+b+c)2

(a+b+c)2 ≥0

so a2 + b2+c2 + 2(ab+bc+ac) ≥ 0

1 ≥-2(ab+bc+ac)

(ab + bc+ ac) ≥ -1/2

are you sure?

what wen a=1, b=0, c=0

is your condition being satisfied?

it should be
1>(ab + bc+ ac) ≥ -1/2

Lokesh Verma ·

is that all?

can this expression be arbitrarilty large?

a2+b2+c2=1
2(a2+b2+c2)>=(a+b+c)2.
Therefore 2>=(a+b+c)2.
2>=1+2(ab+bc+ca)
1>=2(ab+bc+ca)
1/2>=(ab+bc+ca)
So, (ab+bc+ca)<=1/2.
Is it right???????????????

Lokesh Verma ·

no swastika.. there is a mistake..

how did you reach the conclusion that a2+b2+c2>=2abc ??

Sorry sir.......
I have done the correction.
now is it right???????????????????

Lokesh Verma ·

no swastika.. i am afraid not...

can you give some justification ?

Arshad ~Died~ ·

1>(ab + bc+ ac) ≥ -1/2 .....???

How did u get that, Arshad?????????

12{(a-b)2+(b-c)2+(c-a)2} ≥ 0
or, a2+b2+c2-ab-bc-ca ≥ 0
or, ab+bc+ca ≤ 1

(a+b+c)2 ≥ 0
a2+b2+c2+2(ab+bc+ca) ≥ 0
ab+bc+ca ≥ -12

Interval : [-12 , 1]

(1).If a2+b2=2 and a,b are real.Find the interval of a+b.
Ans: Here we can take a = √2cos p
and b = √2 sin p
so a+b = √2(cos p+sin p)
and we now that -√2≤ cos p + sin p ≤√2
so Min (a+b) = -2 and
Max (a+b) = 2

(2) we can take a = cos p
b = cos q
c = cos r.
