In the plane with an orthonormal coordinate system ($\mathrm { O } ; \vec { \imath } , \vec { \jmath }$), the representative curve $\mathscr { C }$ of a function $f$ defined and differentiable on the interval $] 0 ; + \infty [$ is given. We have the following information:
the points $\mathrm { A } , \mathrm { B } , \mathrm { C }$ have coordinates $(1,0)$, $(1,2)$, $(0,2)$ respectively;
the curve $\mathscr { C }$ passes through point B and the line (BC) is tangent to $\mathscr { C }$ at B;
there exist two positive real numbers $a$ and $b$ such that for every strictly positive real number $x$, $$f ( x ) = \frac { a + b \ln x } { x } .$$
[a.] Using the graph, give the values of $f ( 1 )$ and $f ^ { \prime } ( 1 )$.
[b.] Verify that for every strictly positive real number $x , f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = \frac { ( b - a ) - b \ln x } { x ^ { 2 } }$.
[c.] Deduce the real numbers $a$ and $b$.
[a.] Justify that for every real number $x$ in the interval $] 0 , + \infty [$, $f ^ { \prime } ( x )$ has the same sign as $- \ln x$.
[b.] Determine the limits of $f$ at 0 and at $+ \infty$. We may note that for every strictly positive real number $x$, $f ( x ) = \frac { 2 } { x } + 2 \frac { \ln x } { x }$.
[c.] Deduce the table of variations of the function $f$.
[a.] Prove that the equation $f ( x ) = 1$ has a unique solution $\alpha$ on the interval $] 0,1 ]$.
[b.] By similar reasoning, we prove that there exists a unique real number $\beta$ in the interval $] 1 , + \infty [$ such that $f ( \beta ) = 1$. Determine the integer $n$ such that $n < \beta < n + 1$.
The following algorithm is given.
\begin{tabular}{l} Variables:
$a , b$ and $m$ are real numbers.
Initialization:
Assign to $a$ the value 0.
Assign to $b$ the value 1.
Processing:
While $b - a > 0.1$
Assign to $m$ the value $\frac { 1 } { 2 } ( a + b )$.
If $f ( m ) < 1$ then Assign to $a$ the value $m$. Otherwise Assign to $b$ the value $m$.
End If.
End While.

Display $a$.
Display $b$.
