First, convert cm to inches.

50/2.54 is roughly 19.69

There are 12 inches in a foot, so divide the 19.69 by 12.

19.69/12 is roughly 1.64

So the answer is C

Answer:

Associative Property

Step-by-step explanation:

When the order of operands remains the same, all operations are identical (multiplication, or addition), and only the parentheses change places, the property involved is the associative property.

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) Deduce:
 $e^{x} \geq x^{e}, x > 0$

Soln: 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.
