Let $f$ be the function defined on $\mathbb{R}$ by $$f(x) = x - \ln\left(x^{2} + 1\right).$$
  1. Solve in $\mathbb{R}$ the equation: $f(x) = x$.
  2. Justify all elements of the variation table below except for the limit of the function $f$ at $+\infty$ which is admitted.
    $x$$-\infty$1$+\infty$
    $f^{\prime}(x)$+0+

    $f(x)$
    $-\infty$

  3. Show that, for every real $x$ belonging to $[0;1]$, $f(x)$ belongs to $[0;1]$.
  4. Consider the following algorithm:

    InputEnter the value of $A$
    Processing\begin{tabular}{ l } $N$ takes the value 0
    While $N - \ln\left(N^{2} + 1\right) < A$
    $N$ takes the value $N + 1$
    End while
    \hline Output & Display $N$ \hline \end{tabular}
