First factor the numerator
b^2-6b+8/b-4 * b+8/b-2

u will get
(b-2)(b-4)/(b-4)*(b-2)*b+8
those will cancel out each other will left only
b+8

If a/b < c/d with b > 0, d > 0, prove that a+c / b+d lies between the two fractions a/b and c/d .

Tems11 [23]

Divide through everything by b :

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}$

Since a/b < c/d, it follows that

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac cd+\dfrac cb}{1 + \dfrac db}$

Multiply through everything on the right side by b/d to get

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} < \dfrac{\dfrac{bc}{d^2}+\dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac{\dfrac cd\left(\dfrac bd+1\right)}{\dfrac bd+1} = \dfrac cd$

and so (a + c)/(b + d) < c/d.

For the other side, you can do something similar and divide through everything by d :

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} = \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac cd}{\dfrac bd + 1}$

and a/b < c/d tells us that

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ad + \dfrac ab}{\dfrac bd + 1}$

Then

$\dfrac{a+c}{b+d} > \dfrac{\dfrac ab + \dfrac{ad}{b^2}}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac{\dfrac ab\left(1+\dfrac db\right)}{1 + \dfrac db} = \dfrac ab$

and so (a + c)/(b + d) > a/b.

Then together we get the desired inequality.
