    \frac{\partial \frac{lnx}{x}}{\partial x} = \frac{x\times\frac{1}{x}-lnx\times 1 }{x^{2}} when \frac{\partial \frac{lnx}{x}}{\partial x} = 0 \frac{1-lnx}{x^{2}}=0 \therefore x=e Test for maximum in dy/dx test \frac{1}{e}>0 test e=0 test e^{2}<0 \therefore x=e is maximum p.s are you sure your...

    Q7 of SGS 1999 Trial

    you could say PA=a, PB=a +2r so a Geometric Mean would be \sqrt{a(a+r)} =\sqrt{a^{2}+ar} the Arithmetic mean would be \frac{a+a+2r}{2}=a+r =\sqrt{(a+r)^{2}}=\sqrt{a^{2}+2ar+r^{2}} So therefore it is obvious that \sqrt{a^{2}+2ar+r^{2}}> \sqrt{a^{2}+2ar}

    3-2cos^{2}x -3sinx=0 3-2(1-sin^{2}x)-3sinx=0 2sin^{2}x -3sinx +1=0 sinx=1, \frac{1}{2} \therefore x=90^{\circ},270^{\circ},30^{\circ}, 150^{\circ} eqn: 2sin^{2}x +cosx -2 =0 2(1-cos^{2}x) +cosx-2=0 -2cos^{2}x +cosx =0 cosx=-0.5, 0.5 \therefore x=60^{\circ}, 120^{\circ}, 240^{\circ}, 300^{\circ}
