Let $f(x) = xe^x$, and let $V$ and $W$ denote the inverses of $f|_{]-\infty,-1]}$ and $f|_{[-1,+\infty[}$ respectively. For a real parameter $m$, we consider the inequality with unknown $x \in \mathbb { R }$
$$x \mathrm { e } ^ { x } \leqslant m \tag{I.2}$$
Using the functions $V$ and $W$, determine, according to the values of $m$, the solutions of (I.2). Illustrate graphically the different cases.
