Q. If F(x)= x - b x - c a - b a - c + x - c x - a b - c b - a + x - a x - b c - a c - b ,
Show that F(0)=1.

Dear student,
given F(x)=x-bx-ca-ba-c+x-cx-ab-cb-a+x-ax-bc-ac-b
as we can see F(a)=a-ba-ca-ba-c+a-ca-ab-cb-a+a-aa-bc-ac-b=1  ............(1)
also F(b)=b-bb-ca-ba-c+b-cb-ab-cb-a+b-ab-bc-ac-b=1......................(2)
also F(c)=c-bc-ca-ba-c+c-cc-ab-cb-a+c-ac-bc-ac-b=1..........(3)
as we can see F(x) is a quadratic equation.and F(x)-1=0 is also a quadratic equation
as we can see from (1),(2),(3) x=a,b,c satisfy the equation.F(x)-1=0.
but quadratic equation has exactly two roots
here more than two values of x satisfies the equation.
so F(x)-1=0 is an identity.
 it is satisfied by all values of x
F(0)-1=0 is also true
F(0)=1

enjoy
