Question:medium

The maximum value of \(x^{4}y^{3}\) such that \(x+y=42\) exists at \(x=\alpha,\; y=\beta\). Then \(\dfrac{\alpha}{\beta}\) in its lowest form is

Show Hint

For maximizing \[ x^m y^n \] subject to \[ x+y=k, \] remember directly: \[ x:y=m:n. \] This shortcut saves considerable calculation time.
