Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let $ y = \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x} $. Taking the natural logarithm on both sides,we get $ \ln y = x \ln \left(\frac{1}{x}\right) = -x \ln x $. Differentiating with respect to $ x $,we have $ \frac{1}{y} \frac{dy}{dx} = - (1 \cdot \ln x + x \cdot \frac{1}{x}) = -(1 + \ln x) $. Thus,$ \frac{dy}{dx} = -y(1 + \ln x) $. Setting $ \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 $,we get $ 1 + \ln x = 0 $,which implies $ \ln x = -1 $,so $ x = e^{-1} = \frac{1}{e} $. To check for the maximum,we find the second derivative $ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -\frac{dy}{dx}(1 + \ln x) - y(\frac{1}{x}) $. At $ x = \frac{1}{e} $,$ \ln x = -1 $,so $ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 0 - y(e) = -y e The maximum value is $ y = \left(\frac{1}{1/e}\right)^{1/e} = e^{1/e} $.

The maximum value of $ \left(\frac{1}{x}\right)^{x} $ is
