Question
Let \(f(x) = \frac{{{{(\ln x)}^2}}}{2}\), for \(x > 0\).
Let \(g(x) = \frac{1}{x}\). The following diagram shows parts of the graphs of \(f'\) and g.
The graph of \(f'\) has an x-intercept at \(x = p\).
Show that \(f'(x) = \frac{{\ln x}}{x}\).
There is a minimum on the graph of \(f\). Find the \(x\)-coordinate of this minimum.
Write down the value of \(p\).
The graph of \(g\) intersects the graph of \(f'\) when \(x = q\).
Find the value of \(q\).
The graph of \(g\) intersects the graph of \(f'\) when \(x = q\).
Let \(R\) be the region enclosed by the graph of \(f'\), the graph of \(g\) and the line \(x = p\).
Show that the area of \(R\) is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
