Math Problem Statement
y=logx/x
Solution
You have the function:
This is a mathematical expression where the logarithm of is divided by .
To analyze this function:
-
Domain: The logarithm is only defined for , so the domain of the function is .
-
Asymptotes:
- As , tends to , and the fraction goes to . Hence, there is no vertical asymptote at , but the function tends to negative infinity as approaches zero from the right.
- As , grows slower than , and thus . So the horizontal asymptote is .
-
Derivative: To find the critical points and behavior of the function, we can differentiate it.
This simplifies to:
- Critical Points: To find the critical points, set the derivative equal to zero:
At , we have a potential local maximum.
- Second Derivative Test: To confirm if this is a maximum, you can take the second derivative.
Would you like to explore any specific aspect of this function, such as its graph, the behavior near certain points, or further calculations?
