AHSME 1961 Problem 34

    Let S be the set of values assumed by the fraction 2x+3x+2\frac{2x+3}{x+2}. When xx is any member of the interval x≥0x \ge 0. If there exists a number MM such that no number of the set SS is greater than MM, then MM is an upper bound of SS. If there exists a number mm such that such that no number of the set SS is less than mm, then mm is a lower bound of SS. We may then say: (A) m is in S, but M is not in S(B) M is in S, but m is not in S(C) Both m and M are in S(D) Neither m nor M are in S(E) M does not exist either in or outside S\textbf{(A)}\ \text{m is in S, but M is not in S} \\ \textbf{(B)}\ \text{M is in S, but m is not in S} \\ \textbf{(C)}\ \text{Both m and M are in S} \\ \textbf{(D)}\ \text{Neither m nor M are in S} \\ \textbf{(E)}\ \text{M does not exist either in or outside S}
