Let a and b be positive real numbers such that a + b = 1. Find the set of all possible values of a/b.
First off, we need to put a in terms of b. This helps us identify a range.
We get
a+b=1a=1−b
Now, plugging that into the expression, we get
1a+1b=11−b+1b=b+1−bb−b2=1b−b2
Now, we can easily find the set of all real numbers. We have
{R>1}|{a,b}⊂R where 1>a,b>0
Thanks! :)
