If a2 + b2 + c2 +1, then ab + bc + ac lies in the interval
Given that
a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 1
Therefore,
1 + 2(ab + bc + ca) ≥ 0_________ { by (a+b+c)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + c^2 + 2(ab + bc + ca)}
ab + bc + ca ≥ -1/2
(a-b)^2 + (b-c)^2 + (c-a)^2 ≥ 0
2 [ a^2 + b^2 + c^2 - ab - bc - ca ] ≥ 0
2 [ 1 - (ab + bc + ca)] ≥ 0
Therefore, 1 ≥ (ab + bc + ca)
so, ur answer is [-1/2, 1]
