Prove that if the positive real numbers $p$ and $q$ satisfy $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}= 1$, then
a) $\frac{1}{3} \le \frac{1}{p (p + 1)} +\frac{1}{q (q + 1)} <\frac{1}{2}$
b) $\frac{1}{p (p - 1)} + \frac{1}{q (q - 1)} \ge 1$
Prove that if the positive real numbers $p$ and $q$ satisfy $\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q^2}= 1$, then
$$\frac{1}{p (p +2)} +\frac{1}{q (q +2)}\geq\frac{21\sqrt{21}-71}{80} $$Equality holds when $p=2+2\sqrt{\frac{7}{3}},q=\frac{\sqrt{21}+1}{5}.$

Let $ a,b>0 $ and $ \frac1{a}+\frac1{b}=1. $ Prove that
$$\frac13\le \frac1{a(a+1)}+\frac1{b(b+1)}\le\frac12$$
