Find the minimum value of the function F(x) =  log_e x  −  x   for   x > 0.    Hence show that:   log_e x  ≤  x − 1.  For all   x > 0

f(x)=lnx−x⇒f′(x)=(1/x)−1=0⇒x=1  if x<1⇒(1/x)>1⇒(1/x)−1>0⇒f′(x)>0  somillarly if x>1⇒f′(x)<0  ⇒f(1)=−1 is maximum⇒  f(x)≤−1⇒lnx−x≤−1⇒  lnx≤x−1
$${f}\left({x}\right)={lnx}−{x}\Rightarrow{f}'\left({x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{x}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${if}\:{x}<\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}>\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}−\mathrm{1}>\mathrm{0}\Rightarrow{f}'\left({x}\right)>\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${somillarly}\:{if}\:{x}>\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow{f}'\left({x}\right)<\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{f}\left(\mathrm{1}\right)=−\mathrm{1}\:{is}\:{maximum}\Rightarrow \\ $$$${f}\left({x}\right)\leqslant−\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow{lnx}−{x}\leqslant−\mathrm{1}\Rightarrow \\ $$$${lnx}\leqslant{x}−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$

((df(x))/dx)=(1/x)−1  (d^2 f/dx^2 )=((−1)/x^2 )  for min/max   (df/dx)=0  so (1/x)−1=0  x=1  at x=1 (d^2 f/dx^2 )=((−1)/1^2 )<0  so  no minimum  value...  for min (d^2 f/dx^2 )>0   and  for max (d^2 f/dx^2 )<0  so at x=1 f(x)=∣lnx−x∣_(x=1) →−1   value=−1
$$\frac{{df}\left({x}\right)}{{dx}}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} {f}}{{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} } \\ $$$${for}\:{min}/{max}\:\:\:\frac{{df}}{{dx}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${so}\:\frac{\mathrm{1}}{{x}}−\mathrm{1}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${x}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${at}\:{x}=\mathrm{1}\:\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} {f}}{{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\frac{−\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{2}} }<\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${so}\:\:{no}\:{minimum}\:\:{value}… \\ $$$${for}\:{min}\:\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} {f}}{{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }>\mathrm{0}\:\:\:{and}\:\:{for}\:{max}\:\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} {f}}{{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }<\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${so}\:{at}\:{x}=\mathrm{1}\:{f}\left({x}\right)=\mid{lnx}−{x}\mid_{{x}=\mathrm{1}} \rightarrow−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\:{value}=−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

from graph of lnx−x it is clear that f(x) hss max value at x=1 and that value is −1
$${from}\:{graph}\:{of}\:{lnx}−{x}\:{it}\:{is}\:{clear}\:{that}\:{f}\left({x}\right)\:{hss}\:{max}\:{value}\:{at}\:{x}=\mathrm{1}\:{and}\:{that}\:{value}\:{is}\:−\mathrm{1} \\ $$

if (dg/dx)<(dh/dx)  then g(x)<h(x)  now (d/dx)(lnx)=(1/x)  (d/dx)(x−1)=1  now (1/x)−1  ((1−x)/x)<0 when x>1  so lnx<(x−1)  when x>1  at x=1  i,e ln(1)=0  (1−1)=0  (lnx)_(x=1) =(x−1)_(x=1)   when 1>x>0    lnx=−ve    (x−1)=−ve  and   ∣lnx∣>∣(x−1)∣  so lnx<(x−1) when 1>x>0  so lnx<(x−1) when x>0
