The maximum value of ( ( 1 x )^ x ) is
Options
- A( e )
- B( e^ e )
- C( e^ 1 / e )
- D( ( 1 e )^ 1 / e )
Correct answer
C. ( e^ 1 / e )
Step-by-step solution
Let us suppose f=x^ -x f=-x x 1 f d f d x =-(1+ x) So, d f d x =-f (1+ _ e x ) For maximum; 1+ _ e x=0 x=e⁻¹ x= 1 e Therefore, maximum value of given function is ( 1 1 / e )=e^ 1 e
