Answer:

Andy is 4 years old.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ruth age = 10

We need to find Andy age.

Let the age of Andy be x.

Also given Andy is two-fifths of Ruth's age.

Expressing the above statement in expression form we get

$x= \frac{2}{5}\times Ruth's\ age= \frac{2}{5}\times 10 = 4$

Hence Andy is 4 years old.

First we have to find the derivative of the function:
f ` ( x ) = ( ln x / x^6 ) ` =
= $\frac{ \frac{1}{x} x^{6}- 6 x^{5}ln x }{ x^{12} } = \\ \frac{ x^{5}(1-6lnx) }{ x^{12} }= \\ \frac{1-6lnx}{ x^{7} }$
The critical point is when f ` ( x ) = 0
1 - 6 ln x = 0
6 ln x = 1
ln x = 1/6
$x = \sqrt[6]{e}$
f ( e^(1/6)) = e^(-1) * 1/6 = 1 / (6 e)
Answer:
$( \sqrt[6]{e}; \frac{1}{6e} )$
