To show that the function \( f(x) = \frac{\log x}{x} \) has a maximum at \( x = e \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the first derivative \( f'(x) \) Using the quotient rule for differentiation, where if \( f(x) = \frac{u}{v} \), then \( f'(x) = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2} \). Here, let: - \( u = \log x \) (so \( u' = \frac{1}{x} \)) ...
