Prove that:

(i) $\frac{1}{1 + x^{a - b}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{b - a}} = 1$

(ii) $\frac{1}{1 + x^{b - a} + x^{c - a}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{a - b} + x^{c - b}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{b - c} + x^{a - c}} = 1$

Solution

(i) $\frac{1}{1 + x^{a - b}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{b - a}} = 1$

$L H S = \frac{1}{1 + x^{a - b}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{b - a}} = \frac{1}{x^{b - b} + x^{a - b}} + \frac{1}{x^{a - a} + x^{b - a}} = \frac{1}{x^{- b} (x^{b} + x^{a})} + \frac{1}{x^{- a} (x^{a} + x^{b})} = \frac{x^{b}}{x^{a} + x^{b}} + \frac{x^{a}}{x^{a} + x^{b}} = \frac{x^{b} + x^{a}}{(x^{a} + x^{b})} = \frac{x^{a} + x^{b}}{(x^{a} + x^{b})} = 1 = R H S$

(ii) $\frac{1}{1 + x^{b - a} + x^{c - a}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{a - b} + x^{c - b}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{b - c} + x^{a - c}} = 1$

$L H S = \frac{1}{1 + x^{b - a} + x^{c - a}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{a - b} + x^{c - b}} + \frac{1}{1 + x^{b - c} + x^{a - c}} = \frac{1}{x^{a - a} + x^{b - a} + x^{c - a}} + \frac{1}{x^{b - b} + x^{a - b} + x^{c - b}} + \frac{1}{x^{c - c} + x^{b - c} + x^{a - c}} {P u t 1 = x^{a - a}, 1 = x^{b - b} a n d 1 = x^{c - c}} = \frac{1}{x^{- a} (x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c})} + \frac{1}{x^{- b} (x^{b} + x^{a} + x^{c})} + \frac{1}{x^{- c} (x^{c} + x^{b} + x^{a})} = \frac{x^{a}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} + \frac{x^{b}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} + \frac{x^{c}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} = \frac{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}}{x^{a} + x^{b} + x^{c}} = 1 = R H S$
