We consider the function $f$ defined on the interval $]-\infty; 1[$ by $$f(x) = \frac{\mathrm{e}^x}{x-1}$$ We admit that the function $f$ is differentiable on the interval $]-\infty; 1[$. We call $\mathscr{C}$ its representative curve in a coordinate system.
    1. [a.] Determine the limit of the function $f$ at 1.
    2. [b.] Deduce from this a graphical interpretation.
  1. Determine the limit of the function $f$ at $-\infty$.
    1. [a.] Show that for every real number $x$ in the interval $]-\infty; 1[$, we have $$f'(x) = \frac{(x-2)\mathrm{e}^x}{(x-1)^2}$$
    2. [b.] Draw up, by justifying, the table of variations of the function $f$ on the interval $]-\infty; 1[$.
  2. We admit that for every real number $x$ in the interval $]-\infty; 1[$, we have $$f''(x) = \frac{\left(x^2 - 4x + 5\right)\mathrm{e}^x}{(x-1)^3}.$$
    1. [a.] Study the convexity of the function $f$ on the interval $]-\infty; 1[$.
    2. [b.] Determine the reduced equation of the tangent line $T$ to the curve $\mathscr{C}$ at the point with abscissa 0.
    3. [c.] Deduce from this that, for every real number $x$ in the interval $]-\infty; 1[$, we have: $$\mathrm{e}^x \geqslant (-2x-1)(x-1).$$
    1. [a.] Justify that the equation $f(x) = -2$ admits a unique solution $\alpha$ on the interval $]-\infty; 1[$.
    2. [b.] Using a calculator, determine an interval containing $\alpha$ with amplitude $10^{-2}$.
