let f(x) = x^(1/x^6 )  ⇔ ln f(x)= ((ln (x))/x^6 )  differentiating both sides gives  ((f ′(x))/(f(x))) = ((x^5 −6x^5 ln (x))/x^(12) ) ; f ′(x)= ((x^(1/x^6 ) .x^5 (1−6ln (x)))/x^(12) )  f ′(x) = ((x^(1/x^6 ) (1−6ln x))/x^7 )  taking f ′(x)=0 , we get ln x=(1/6) or x=e^(1/6)   curve increasing on 0<x<e^(1/6)  and   decreasing on x >e^(1/6) . Thus maximum  value is (e^(1/6) )^(1/e) = e^(1/(6e))
