(a)
![f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{lnx}{x}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%27%28x%29%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7Bd%7D%7Bdx%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7Blnx%7D%7Bx%7D%5D)
Using the quotient rule:


For maximum, f'(x) = 0;


(b) <em>Deduce:
</em>

<em>
Soln:</em> Since x = e is the greatest value, then f(e) ≥ f(x) > f(0)


, 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.



Taking the exponential to both sides will cancel with the natural logarithmic function in the right hand side to produce:


, as required.
Answer:
7 7/8 cups of flour
Step-by-step explanation:
2.25 times 3.5 equals 7.875
Judging by the question you have provided I came to the conclusion that you have already solved your own problem!
If the goal is to find X when X=-15 then your answer for X should be -15!
If this is not the entire equation please post the entire one!
Hope this helped!
