1.  Find the equation of the line AB.  For reference, the answer is y=(-2/3)x+2.
2.  Derive a formula for the area of the shaded rectange.  It is A=xy (where x is the length and y is the height).
3.  Replace "y" in A=xy with the formula for y:  y= (-2/3)x+2:
       
                 A=x[(-2/3)x+2]    This is a formula for Area A in terms of x only.
4.  Since we want to maximize the shaded area, we take the derivative with respect to x of    A=x[(-2/3)x+2] , or, equivalently, A=(-2/3)x^2 + 2x.
This results in   (dA/dx) = (-4/3)x + 2.
5.  Set this result = to 0 and solve for the critical value:  

(dA/dx) = (-4/3)x + 2=0, or (4/3)x=2   This results in x=(3/4)(2)=3/2

6.  Verify that this critical value x=3/2 does indeed maximize the area function.
7.  Determine the area of the shaded rectangle for x=3/2, using the previously-derived formula          A=(-2/3)x^2 + 2x.

The result is the max. area of the shaded rectangle.

Which is the graph of f(x) = log3x?.
valentinak56 [21]

Logarithm functions are the inverses of the exponential function the graph of the given function is attached in the given image.

The points for the given function are (1,0) (3,1) and (9,2)

Given that

Function; \rm  f(x) = log3x

We have to determine

The graph of the function f(x).

According to the question

The logarithmic function is the inverse of the exponential function.

Function; \rm  f(x) = log_3x

To plot the graph of the given function we have to find the asymptotes;

Vertical asymptote at x =0

The point at x= 1 is,

\rm f(1) = log_3(1)\\\\f(1)=log_33\\\\f(1)=1

The point at x= 3 is,

\rm f(3) = log_3(3)\\\\f(3)=log_33\\\\f(3)=1

The point at x= 9 is,

\rm f(9) = log_3(9)\\\\f(9)=3log_33\\\\f(9)=3\times 1\\\\ f(9)=3

Hence, the points for the given function are (1,0) (3,1) and (9,2).

To know more about the Exponential function given below.

Answer:

y=2/3x+4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx+c

(5-3)/(1--2)

2/3= gradient

y=2/3x +c

5=2/3(1)+c

-2/3
