Setting /=0, we find 3x
2 - Wx + 3 = 0, (3*- l)(;t-3) = 0, x=| or x = 3. By the secondderivative test, we have a relative minimum at jt = 3, and a relative maximum at x=\. As x—>±°°,

Prove that In x < Vx for x > 0.
By the second-derivative test, the function v = Vx — In x has an absolute minimum value of 2 - 2 In 2
when x=4. Therefore, Vx - Inx>2 -21n2>0 for all *>0. Hence, Vx>lnx for x>0.

Evaluate
The latter is an approximating sum for
In 3 - In 2.
Hence, the limit is

Find
Divide numerator by denominator, obtaining
Hence, the integral reduces to
