The maximum value of \(\frac{\log x^3}{3 x}\) occurs at \(x=\)

  1. A \(e\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{e}\)
  3. C \(3 e\)
  4. D \(\frac{3}{e}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(e\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f(x) = \frac{3 \log x}{3x} = \frac{\log x}{x}\) \(f'(x) = \frac{\frac{1}{x} \cdot x - \log x \cdot 1}{x^2} = \frac{1 - \log x}{x^2}\) \(1 - \log x = 0 \Rightarrow \log x = 1 \Rightarrow x = e\)
