If $-6\leq a \leq -2$ and $3 \leq b \leq 5$, what is the greatest possible value of $\frac{a + 1/b}{a - 1/b}$? Express your answer as a common fraction.

\(-6\leq a \leq -2 and 3 \leq b \leq 5\)

 

Note that   [ a + 1/b ] /  [ a - 1/b]  =    [ (a + b) / b ]   [ (a - b) / b ] =  [ a + b  ]  /  [a - b ]

 

This will be maximimzed when    a = -6 and b = 3 

 

So [ a + b ] / [ a - b ]  =  [-6 + 3 ] / [ -6 - 3]  =   -3 / -9  =  1/3

 

 

cool cool cool
