Christian's maximum and minimum
Algebra
Level
5
Let \(x\) and \(y\) be real numbers satisfying \(4x^2 + 5y^2 = 1\). Over all such pairs, let the maximum and minimum values of \(2x^2 + 3xy + 2y^2\) be \(M\) and \(N\) respectively. If \(M+N + MN = \frac{a}{b}\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are coprime positive integers, what is the value of \(a+b\)?
