We consider the function $f$ defined and differentiable on the set $\mathbb { R }$ of real numbers by $$f ( x ) = x + 1 + \frac { x } { \mathrm { e } ^ { x } }$$ We denote by $\mathscr { C }$ its representative curve in an orthonormal coordinate system ( $\mathrm { O } , \vec { \imath } , \vec { \jmath }$ ).
Part A
Let $g$ be the function defined and differentiable on the set $\mathbb { R }$ by $$g ( x ) = 1 - x + \mathrm { e } ^ { x }$$ Draw up, by justifying, the table giving the variations of the function $g$ on $\mathbb { R }$ (the limits of $g$ at the boundaries of its domain are not required). Deduce the sign of $g ( x )$.
Determine the limit of $f$ at $- \infty$ then the limit of $f$ at $+ \infty$.
We call $f ^ { \prime }$ the derivative of the function $f$ on $\mathbb { R }$. Prove that, for all real $x$, $$f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } g ( x )$$
Deduce the variation table of the function $f$ on $\mathbb { R }$.
Prove that the equation $f ( x ) = 0$ admits a unique real solution $\alpha$ on $\mathbb { R }$. Prove that $- 1 < \alpha < 0$.
a. Prove that the line T with equation $y = 2 x + 1$ is tangent to the curve $\mathscr { C }$ at the point with abscissa 0. b. Study the relative position of the curve $\mathscr { C }$ and the line T.
Part B
Let H be the function defined and differentiable on $\mathbb { R }$ by $$\mathrm { H } ( x ) = ( - x - 1 ) \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }.$$ Prove that H is a primitive on $\mathbb { R }$ of the function $h$ defined by $h ( x ) = x \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }$.
We denote by $\mathscr { D }$ the domain bounded by the curve $\mathscr { C }$, the line T and the lines with equations $x = 1$ and $x = 3$. Calculate, in square units, the area of the domain $\mathscr { D }$.
