If $-6\leq a \leq -2$ and $3 \leq b \leq 5$, what is the greatest possible value of $\displaystyle\left(a+\frac{1}{b}\right)\left(\frac{1}{b}-a\right) $? Express your answer as a common fraction.

We have that (a+1/b)(1/ba)=a2b1 (6)251=1915.

Equality occurs when a=−6 and b=5, so the maximum possible value is -191/5.

Cause most of the time, for every question I ask, people post incorrect answers, which doesn't help at all.
