Exercise 3
Common to all candidates
Given a real number $k$, we consider the function $f _ { k }$ defined on $\mathbb { R }$ by
$$f _ { k } ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { - k x } }$$
The plane is equipped with an orthonormal coordinate system ( $\mathrm { O } , \vec { \imath } , \vec { \jmath }$ ).
Part A
In this part we choose $k = 1$. We have therefore, for all real $x , f _ { 1 } ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } }$. The graph $\mathscr { C } _ { 1 }$ of the function $f _ { 1 }$ in the coordinate system ( $\mathrm { O } , \vec { \imath } , \vec { \jmath }$ ) is given in APPENDIX, to be returned with your answer sheet.
  1. Determine the limits of $f _ { 1 } ( x )$ as $x \to + \infty$ and as $x \to - \infty$ and give a graphical interpretation of the results obtained.
  2. Prove that, for all real $x , f _ { 1 } ( x ) = \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { x } } { 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { x } }$.
  3. Let $f _ { 1 } ^ { \prime }$ denote the derivative function of $f _ { 1 }$ on $\mathbb { R }$. Calculate, for all real $x , f _ { 1 } ^ { \prime } ( x )$.

Deduce the variations of the function $f _ { 1 }$ on $\mathbb { R }$.
