<s>[INST] Range of the function $f(x) = \frac{x^2+14x+9}{x^2+2x+3}\;,$ where $x\in \mathbb{R}$ Calculation of Range of the function $\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{x^2+14x+9}{x^2+2x+3}\;,$ where $x\in \mathbb{R}$
(Can we solve it Using $\bf{A.M\geq G.M}$) Inequality.
$\bf{My\; Try::}$ Let $\displaystyle y = f(x) = \frac{x^2+14x+9}{x^2+2x+3} = \frac{(x+1)^2+12(x+1)-4}{(x+1)^2+1}$
Now Let $(x+1) = t\;,$ where $t\in \mathbb{R}$
So $\displaystyle y=\frac{t^2+12t-9}{t^2+1} = 1+\frac{12t-10}{t^2+1}$
Now I did not understand How can I solve after that
Help me
Thanks
 [/INST] Hint:
try to find a line $y=k$ such that
$$
\frac{x^2+14x+9}{x^2+2x+3} - k = 0
$$
has only one solution, that $k$ is a max (above the max there is no solution, below there are two solutions) or a min (below the min there is no solution, abore there are two solutions).
Thus
$$
\frac{[1-k]x^2+2[7-k]x+[9-3k]}{x^2+2x+3} = 0
$$
Set discriminant to $0$ and find $k$...

 So we get$$[7-k]^2 - [1-k][0-3k] = 0,$$ whence $$-2k^2-2k+40=0,$$ so $$k^2+k-20=0,$$ thus $$[k+5][k-4]=0,$$ so the min is $-5$ and the max is $+4$...
