In which of the following intervals, the function \(f(x)=\frac{x}{\log x}\) is decreasing?

  1. A \((-\infty, e)\)
  2. B \((0, e)\)
  3. C \((0, e)-\{1\}\)
  4. D \((e, \infty)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \((0, e)-\{1\}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f'(x) = \frac{(\log x)(1) - (x)(\frac{1}{x})}{(\log x)^2} = \frac{\log x - 1}{(\log x)^2}\) \(f'(x) Since \((\log x)^2 > 0\) for \(x \in \text{Domain}\), \(\log x - 1 \(\log x Domain of \(f(x)\) is \(x > 0, x \ne 1\). Combining \(x < e\) with the domain: \((0, e)-\{1\}\)
