How to find maximum of a function that has a logarithmic variable?

116 Views Asked by At

How can I find the maximum of a function that is of the form $$f(x)= 4\dfrac {\log(x-3)}{x-4}+6\dfrac {\log(8–0.5x)}{14-x}$$

I understand that I have to take first derivative and equate it to zero, to find critical points, and then calculate second derivative. But the derivative is too complex to solve.

first derivative of f(x)

Does not exist because $$\lim_{x\rightarrow3^+}f(x)=+\infty.$$
