Question

Use the function (x) = x1/xx > 0 to determine the bigger of the two numbers.

Solution

Correct option is

  

Taking log on both sides we have

                       

Differentiating both sides we have

                       

  

   

or                       x = e   

  

   

'f ' has a maximum at x = e.   

But x = e is the only extreme value.   

∴ f has the greatest value at x = e
