A Five-Step Curve-Sketching Scheme, Applied to x / ln x

Why should you plot the discontinuities and ends of x/ln x before its critical point, and how does one point (e, e) then force its shape?

まとめノート

    1. 1

      The five steps and their order

      List the five steps in order: discontinuities, ends and easy points; critical points; sign of f′f'f′; sign of f′′f''f′′; combine. Record that step 3 serves as a consistency check, and when step 4 is skipped.

    2. 2

      Scaffolding for f(x)=xln⁡xf(x) = \frac{x}{\ln x}f(x)=lnxx​ on x>0x > 0x>0

      Compute f(1−)f(1^{-})f(1−) and f(1+)f(1^{+})f(1+) at the vertical asymptote, f(0+)=0f(0^{+}) = 0f(0+)=0, and f(∞)=∞f(\infty) = \inftyf(∞)=∞ using x=1010x = 10^{10}x=1010, then plot these pieces of the graph.

    3. 3

      The single critical point (e,e)(e, e)(e,e)

      Derive f′(x)=ln⁡x−1(ln⁡x)2f'(x) = \frac{\ln x - 1}{(\ln x)^2}f′(x)=(lnx)2lnx−1​ by the quotient rule, solve for x=ex = ex=e and f(e)=ef(e) = ef(e)=e, and sketch the one shape the scaffolding now allows.

    4. 4

      Sign check of f′f'f′ on each interval

      Use the sign of ln⁡x−1\ln x - 1lnx−1 to confirm fff is decreasing on (0,1)(0,1)(0,1) and (1,e)(1,e)(1,e) and increasing on (e,∞)(e,\infty)(e,∞), matching the sketch.
