Question:

The maximum value of $f(x)=\frac{\log x}{x}$ for x in $[2, \infty]$ is

Options:

e

0

1

$\frac{1}{e}$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{1}{e}$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - $\frac{1}{e}$

$f(x)=\frac{\log x}{x}$

$f'(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}-\frac{\log x}{x^2}=0$

$⇒x=e$

so e → point of maxima 

max value = $f(x)=\frac{1}{e}$
