To find the value of the expression [tex]\(\frac{a}{b+c}+\frac{b}{c+a}+\frac{c}{a+b}\)[/tex] given that [tex]\(a + b + c = 0\)[/tex], we can utilize the given condition to simplify the problem step by step.
First, observe the algebraic identity [tex]\(a + b + c = 0\)[/tex]. This implies that any one of the terms can be expressed as the negation of the sum of the other two terms. For example, we can rewrite:
[tex]\[ a = -(b + c) \][/tex]
Now let's analyze the given expression:
[tex]\[ \frac{a}{b+c} + \frac{b}{c+a} + \frac{c}{a+b} \][/tex]
Substitute [tex]\(a\)[/tex] with [tex]\(-(b+c)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{-(b+c)}{b+c} + \frac{b}{c - (b+c)} + \frac{c}{-(b+c) + b}\][/tex]
Simplify each term individually:
1. For the term [tex]\(\frac{-(b+c)}{b+c}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{-(b+c)}{b+c} = -1 \][/tex]
2. For the term [tex]\(\frac{b}{c - (b+c)}\)[/tex]:
Rewrite [tex]\(c + a\)[/tex] as [tex]\(c - (b+c) = - b\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{b}{c - (b+c)} = \frac{b}{-b} = -1 \][/tex]
3. For the term [tex]\(\frac{c}{-(b+c) + b}\)[/tex]:
Rewrite [tex]\(a + b\)[/tex] as [tex]\(-(b+c) + b = - c\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{c}{-(b+c) + b} = \frac{c}{-c} = -1 \][/tex]
Combine all the simplified terms together:
[tex]\[ -1 + (-1) + (-1) = -3 \][/tex]
However, consider revising the terms back properly:
Realize that [tex]$(a+b+c = 0)$[/tex] implies [tex]\( c=-a-b \)[/tex]:
## After verify steps ensuring the right approach,
all counters balance leading a simplified final result,
mental quick revisit terms:

Thus leading to finalize!
Conclusively,
