Given quadratic expression is x2+2(a+b+c)x+3(bc+ca+ab).

This quadratic expression will be a perfect square if the
discriminant of its corresponding equation is zero. Hence,

4(a+b+c)24×3(bc+ca+ab)=0

or   (a+b+c)23(bc+ca+ab)=0

or   a2+b+c2+2ab+2bc+2ca3(bc+ca+ab)=0

or   a2+b2+c2abbcca=0

or   122a2+2b2+2c22ab2bc2ca=0

or   12a2+b22ab+b2+c22bc+c2+a22ca=0

or  12(ab)2+(bc)2+(ca)2=0

which is possible only when (ab)2=0,(bc)2=0

and (ca)2=0, i.e., a=b=c
