    If x be real, find the maximum value of\[\frac{(x+2)}{\left( 2{{x}^{2}}+3x+6 \right)}\].

    A)  \[\frac{-1}{13}\]                                   

    B)  \[\frac{1}{3}\]

    C)  \[6\]                            

    D)  \[-\,6\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    (b): Let \[y=\frac{x+2}{2{{x}^{2}}+3x+6}\], then \[2{{x}^{2}}y+\left( 3y-1 \right)x+6y-2=0\] For x to be real, \[{{\left( 3y-1 \right)}^{2}}-8y\left( 6y-2 \right)\ge 0\] Or, \[\left( 1+13y \right)\left( 1-3y \right)\ge 0\] Or, \[\left( 13y+1 \right)\left( 3y-1 \right)\le 0\] Putting each factor equal to zero, we get, \[y\in \left[ \frac{-1}{13},\frac{1}{3} \right]\]; Thus, y will lie between \[-\frac{1}{13}\] and \[\frac{1}{3}\]. Hence the maximum value of y is \[\frac{1}{3}\] and minimum value is \[-\frac{1}{13}\].
