If f(x)=lnxxf(x)=\dfrac{\ln x}{x}, then f(x)=f'(x)=

A.lnx1x2\dfrac{\ln x-1}{x^2}
B.1x\dfrac{1}{x}
C.1lnxx2\dfrac{1-\ln x}{x^2}
D.1lnxx\dfrac{1-\ln x}{x}

Explanation

Core Concept

The quotient rule gives 1xxlnx1x2\dfrac{\frac{1}{x}\cdot x-\ln x\cdot1}{x^2}. Since 1xx=1\dfrac{1}{x}\cdot x=1, the result is 1lnxx2\dfrac{1-\ln x}{x^2}.

Correct Answer

C1lnxx2\dfrac{1-\ln x}{x^2}
