S = x+1/x , where 5/6 < x < 7/6

dS/dx = 1 -1/x^2 = 0
1= 1/x^2
x^2 = 1
x = 1

d^2S/dx^2 = d/dx ( 1-1/x^2) = d/dx ( -x^(-2) ) = (-1)(-2) x^(-3) = 2/x^3 > 0 if 5/6 < x < 7/6

x = 1
The number is 1 and the sum of the number and its reciprocal can only be minimized.
5/6 < 1 < 7/6

y = x/6 + 6/x = x^2/(6x) + 36/(6x) = (x^2 + 36)/(6x)
