To show that the maximum value of \( f(x) = \left( \frac{1}{x} \right)^x \) is \( e^{\frac{1}{e}} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the function We start with the function: \[ f(x) = \left( \frac{1}{x} \right)^x = x^{-x} \] To simplify the differentiation process, we take the natural logarithm of both sides: ...
