hello there
Step-by-step explanation:
hey dear Here is your answer..
Best Answer
f(x) = (lnx)/x
f'(x) = ((1/x)x - ln(x))/(x^2)
= (1 - ln(x))/(x^2)
0 = (1 - ln(x))/(x^2)
0 = 1 - ln(x), x ≠ 0
ln(x) = 1
e^(ln(x)) = e^1
x = e
Now, to make sure that the maximum occurs at this point, plug values less than and greater than e into f'(x). If a max occurs at x = e, then f'(x<e) will be positive and f'(x>e) will be negative.
f'(1) = (1 - ln(1))/(1^2) = (1 - 0)/1 = 1 ==> positive
f'(e^2) = (1 - ln(e^2))/(e^4) = (1 - 2)/(e^4) = -1/(e^4) ==> negative
So a maximum does occur at x = e. Now, to find the maximum value, find f(e):
f(e) = ln(e)/e = 1/e
So the maximum value is 1/e.
