Just as how you would teach multiplication to any child in the beginning. There is 1 set of 2 pencils. 1 * 2 = 2 pencils. There are 2 sets of pencils. 2 * 2 = 4 pencils. You would apply the same concept to 8/10 that any number multiplied by 1 is itself.
F(x) = (1/x) + ln x
At the extreme values, f'(x) = 0
f'(x) = -1/x^2 + 1/x = 0
(x - 1)/x^2 = 0
x - 1 = 0
x = 1
f(1) = 1/1 + ln 1 = 1
Therefore, the extereme value is 1 and occurs at x = 1.
The answer is 276,000.
Hope that helps :]
-12 is a rational number becuase it can be written as a fraction (-12/1)
