Part 1
We consider the function $f$ defined on the set of real numbers $\mathbb{R}$ by: $$f(x) = \left(x^2 - 4\right)\mathrm{e}^{-x}$$ We admit that the function $f$ is differentiable on $\mathbb{R}$ and we denote $f'$ its derivative function.

  2. Justify that for all real $x$, $f'(x) = \left(-x^2 + 2x + 4\right)\mathrm{e}^{-x}$.

Part 2
We consider the sequence $(I_n)$ defined for all natural integer $n$ by $I_n = \int_{-2}^{0} x^n \mathrm{e}^{-x}\,\mathrm{d}x$.
  1. Justify that $I_0 = \mathrm{e}^2 - 1$.
