Step-by-Step Verified Solution

amp;f(x)=2x2−3x+82x2+3x+8=y,2x2+3x+8gt;0∀x∈Ramp;⇒x2(2y−2)+x(3y+3)+8y−8=0\begin{aligned}& f(x)=\frac{2 x^2-3 x+8}{2 x^2+3 x+8}=y, 2 x^2+3 x+8>0 \quad \forall x \in \mathbb{R} \\& \Rightarrow \quad x^2(2 y-2)+x(3 y+3)+8 y-8=0\end{aligned}

Since x∈Rx \in \mathbb{R} , the equation has real roots

amp;⇒D≥0amp;⇒(3y+3)2−4(2y−2)(8y−8)≥0amp;⇒9(y+1)2−64y(y−1)2≥0amp;⇒(3y+3)2−(8y−8)2≥0amp;⇒(11y−5)(−5y+11)≥0amp;⇒(y−511)(y−115)≤0amp;⇒y∈[511,115]\begin{aligned}& \Rightarrow \quad D \geq 0 \\& \Rightarrow(3 y+3)^2-4(2 y-2)(8 y-8) \geq 0 \\& \Rightarrow 9(y+1)^2-64 y(y-1)^2 \geq 0 \\& \Rightarrow(3 y+3)^2-(8 y-8)^2 \geq 0 \\& \Rightarrow(11 y-5)(-5 y+11) \geq 0 \\& \Rightarrow\left(y-\frac{5}{11}\right)\left(y-\frac{11}{5}\right) \leq 0 \\& \Rightarrow y \in\left[\frac{5}{11}, \frac{11}{5}\right]\end{aligned}

Sum of maximum and minimum value

amp;ymax⁡+ymin⁡=511+115=25+12155amp;=14655=mn⇒m+n=201\begin{aligned}& y_{\max }+y_{\min }=\frac{5}{11}+\frac{11}{5}=\frac{25+121}{55} \\& =\frac{146}{55}=\frac{m}{n} \Rightarrow m+n=201\end{aligned}
