We denote $\mathcal{D}$ the set of functions from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$ of class $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$ and with compact support. We denote $\varphi$ the function defined by: $$\begin{cases} \varphi(x) = 0 & \text{if } |x| \geqslant 1 \\ \varphi(x) = \exp\left(-\frac{x^2}{1-x^2}\right) & \text{if } |x| < 1 \end{cases}$$
a) Study the variations of $\varphi$. b) Sketch the graph of $\varphi$. c) Show that $\varphi$ is $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}$. d) Show that $\mathcal{D}$ is a vector space over $\mathbb{R}$ not reduced to $\{0\}$.
