The absolute maximum of the function ln(x)/x is (e, 1/e)
To find the minimums/maximums of a function, you must find the critical points of the function.
f(x) = ㏑(x)÷x
f'(x) = ((1/x · x) - ㏑(x)) ÷ x² =
(1 - ㏑(x)) ÷ x² = 0
1 - ㏑(x) = 0
㏑(x) = 1
x = e 
We have determined that our only critical point is e, which means that that is the absolute maximum of the function. 
f(e) = ㏑(e) ÷ e = 1/e
The relative (absolute) maximum of the function ln(x)/x is 3)

Take the deritivive
remember
the deritivive of f(x)/g(x)=(f'(x)g(x)-g'(x)f(x))/(g(x)^2)
so
deritiveive is ln(x)/x is
remember that derivitive of lnx is 1/x
so

(1/x*x-1lnx)/(x^2)=(1-ln(x))/(x^2)
the max occurs where the value is 0
(1-ln(x))/(x^2)=0
times x^2 both sides
1-lnx=0
add lnx both sides
1=lnx
e^1=x
e=x
see if dats a max or min
at e/2, the slope is positive
at 3e/2, the slope is negative
changes from positive to negative at x=e

that means it's a max

max at x=e
I realize I didn't find the max point, so

sub back
ln(x)/x
ln(e)/e
1/e
the value of the max would be 1/e occuring where x=e

4th option is answer (1/e) because that is the value of the maximum (which happens at x=e)

F(x)-mx+ b, f(-2)=3 and f(4)=1 , what is the value of m and b
NeX [460]

Answer: m=\dfrac{-1}{3}, b=\dfrac{7}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Function is  f(x)=mx+b

f(-2)=3

\therefore 3=m(-2)+b\\\Rightarrow b-2m=3\quad \ldots(i)

f(4)=1\\\therefore 1=4m+b\quad \ldots(ii)

from (i) and (ii) we get

m=\dfrac{-1}{3}, b=\dfrac{7}{3}

Someone please help me!
bija089 [108]

Answer:

A = 58

B =:25

Step-by-step explanation:

C = A + B

83 = 9x + 4 + 4x + 1

83 = 13x + 5

13x = 78

x = 78/13

x = 6

A = 9x + 4 = 9 x 6 + 4 = 58

B = 4x + 1 = 4 x 6 + 1 = 25

Answer 37, 38, and 39 and make sure to answer with either the letter or with one of the answers shown! SHOW YOUR WORK PLEASE!!
ollegr [7]

Answer:

I didn't even realize until I had written all of the answers down that they are all <u><em>C.</em></u>

37 = C. <u>15%</u>

38 = C. <u>2x^{3}</u>

39 = C. <u>48</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

37: I used process of elimination to figure out which percentage of decrease it was by just multiplying 42 by each percentage until I got 6.3 which is what you need to subtract from 42 to get 35.7, so the answer is C, or 15%.

38: A coefficient is the number that is being multiplied by the variable, which in this case is "x". So whatever answer involves "2x" is the correct answer. Therefore the answer is C, or <u>2x^{3}.</u>

39: You have to add the amount of money Henry paid for painting supplies and how much profit he mad to figure out how much money he really made. 400 + 560 = 960 and he charges $20 for each painting so you need to divide 960/20 to get your answer, which is C, or 48.

On Monday, Harold picked up four donuts and five large coffees for the office staff. He paid $ 6.33  
sveticcg [70]
The equation would be 4x+5y=6.33 and 3x+3y=4.11
so from their you would do the calculations and get 0.52 and 0.85
To make sure the caluclations aare right you just hae to put in the numbers for the x and y
4(0.52)+5(0.85)=6.33
So 1 donutis $).52
1 large coffee is $0.85
