2015/032) If x is real,show that \dfrac{x}{x^2-5x+9} always lie in the interval [\frac{-1}{11},1]


let y = \dfrac{x}{x^2-5x+9}
so yx^2 - 5yx + 9y = x

or yx^2 - (5y+ 1) x + 9y = 0

for it to have real root x discriminant > = 0 or
(5y+1) ^2 - 36y^2 \ge 0
=> (5y + 1 + 6y)(5y+1 - 6y) \ge 0

or (11y + 1)(1-y) \ge 0 or y \ge \dfrac{-1}{11} and y \le 1

so \dfrac{x}{x^2-5x+9} always lie in the interval [\frac{-1}{11},1]

I have solved it at https://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130502090041AAY63AN where you can find some more solution
