Let \[\mathrm{f}(t)=\frac{\ln t}t\quad\text{ for }t>0.\] Sketch the graph of \(\mathrm{f}(t)\) and find its maximum value. How many positive values of \(t\) correspond to a given value of \(\mathrm f(t)\)? Find how many positive values of \(y\) satisfy \(x^y=y^x\) for a given positive value of \(x\). Sketch the set of points \((x,y)\) which satisfy \(x^y=y^x\) with \(x,y>0\).
