Hi there! The answer is y = -3x - 21

Let's set up the equation of the line step by step! First we need to know that we need to set up an equation in slope-intercept form. We get the following:

y = ax + b.
a represents the slope of the line.
b represents the intercept with the y-axis.

Since our new line is parallel to y = -3x + 1, both lines have the same slope. Therefore the slope of our line, which is represented by a, is -3.

y = -3x + b.
We also know that this line goes through the point (-5, -6) and therefore we can plug in these coordinates into our formula.

-6 = -3 × -5 + b
Simplify

-6 = 15 + b
Subtract 15

-21 = b
Switch sides

b = -21
Hence, y = -3x - 21

~ Hope this helps you!

F(x) = lnx/x
My name is Ann [436]
f(x) = \frac{lnx}{x}

(a) f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{lnx}{x}]
Using the quotient rule:
f'(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} \cdot x - lnx}{x^{2}}
f'(x) = \frac{1 - lnx}{x^{2}}

For maximum, f'(x) = 0;
\frac{1 - lnx}{x} = 0
lnx = 1, x = e

(b) <em>Deduce:
</em>e^{x} \geq x^{e}, x > 0
<em>
Soln:</em> Since x = e is the greatest value, then f(e) ≥ f(x) > f(0)
\frac{ln(e)}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}
\frac{1}{e} \geq \frac{lnx}{x}, since ln(e) is simply equal to 1

Now, since x > 0, then we don't have to worry about flipping the signs when multiplying by x.
\frac{x}{e} \geq lnx
x \geq elnx
x \geq ln(x^{e})

Taking the exponential to both sides will cancel with the natural logarithmic function in the right hand side to produce:
e^{x} \geq e^{ln(x^{e}})
e^{x} \geq x^{e}, as required.
