(a) Prove that x2(x1)2+y2(y1)2+z2(z1)21\frac{x^2}{(x-1)^2} + \frac{y^2}{(y-1)^2} + \frac{z^2}{(z-1)^2} \geq 1 for all real numbers x,y,zx, y, z, each different from 1, and satisfying xyz=1xyz = 1.

(b) Prove that equality holds above for infinitely many triples of rational numbers x,y,zx, y, z, each different from 1, and satisfying xyz=1xyz = 1.
