If $\mathrm{f}(x)=\frac{\log x}{x}(x\gt0)$, then it is increasing in
- $(0, \mathrm{e})$
- $(\mathrm{e}, \infty)$
- $(0, \infty)$
- $(-\infty, \infty)$
Solution
For $\mathrm{f}(x)$ to be increasing, $\mathrm{f}^{\prime}(x) \gt 0$ $\Rightarrow 1-\log x \gt 0 \Rightarrow 1 \gt \log x \Rightarrow \mathrm{e} \gt x$ $\therefore \quad \mathrm{f}(x)$ is increasing in the interval $(0, \mathrm{e})$.
