Hello everybody :D

Here it is:

1) \(\displaystyle \dfrac{(a-1)^2}{(a-b)(a-c)}+\dfrac{(b-1)^2}{(b-a)(b-c)}+\dfrac{(c-1)^2}{(c-a)(c-b)}\)

\(\displaystyle a\neq c\), \(\displaystyle c\neq b\), \(\displaystyle a\neq b\)

I got to:

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{-a^2b+a^2c-b^2c+ab^2-ac^2+bc^2}{(a-b)(b-c)(c-a)}=\)

\(\displaystyle =\dfrac{-ab(a-b)-ac(c-a)-bc(b-c)}{(a-b)(b-c)(c-a)}\)

I have done 50 of these today, I just can't think anymore... I can feel my forehead skin stretching due to severe brain swelling x)
