Question

Find maximum speed by differentiation.

A cable consists of a core of conductive wire protected by a casing of
non-conductive material. Let the ratio of the radius of the core to the
thickness of this casing be t. The speed of the signal passing down the
cable is given by V (t)= kt’ In – |, where 0 < t <1 and k is positive
constant. Find the maximum speed.
(Use second derivative test to determine the nature of t and leave your
answer in exact form).
