Options
- A4
- B6
- C2
- D3
Correct answer
C. 2
Step-by-step solution
Given the equation: 2 A a + B b + 2 C c = a b c + b c a Apply the cosine rule to express trigonometric terms: A = b^2 + c^2 - a^2 2 b c , B = a^2 + c^2 - b^2 2 a c , C = a^2 + b^2 - c^2 2 a b Substitute into the left-hand side: align* LHS &= 2 a b^2 + c^2 - a^2 2 b c + 1 b a^2 + c^2 - b^2 2 a c + 2 c a^2 + b^2 - c^2 2 a b &= b^2 + c^2 - a^2 a b c + a^2 + c^2 - b^2 2 a b c + a^2 + b^2 - c^2 a b c align* Combine terms over a common denominator of 2 a b c : 2(b^2 + c^2 - a^2) + (a^2 + c^2 - b^2) + 2(a^2 + b^2 - c^2) 2
