Exercise 1 -- Part B
The proportion of individuals who possess a certain type of equipment in a population is modelled by the function $p$ defined on $[ 0 ; + \infty [$ by $$p ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { - 0,2 x } } .$$ The real number $x$ represents the time elapsed, in years, since January 1st, 2000. The number $p ( x )$ models the proportion of equipped individuals after $x$ years. Thus, for this model, $p ( 0 )$ is the proportion of equipped individuals on January 1st, 2000 and $p ( 3.5 )$ is the proportion of equipped individuals in the middle of 2003.
  1. What is, for this model, the proportion of equipped individuals on January 1st, 2010? Give a value rounded to the nearest hundredth.
    1. [a.] Determine the direction of variation of the function $p$ on $[ 0 ; + \infty [$.
    2. [b.] Calculate the limit of the function $p$ as $x \to + \infty$.
    3. [c.] Interpret this limit in the context of the exercise.
  2. It is considered that, when the proportion of equipped individuals exceeds $95\%$, the market is saturated. Determine, by explaining the approach, the year in which this occurs.
  3. The average proportion of equipped individuals between 2008 and 2010 is defined by $$m = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \int _ { 8 } ^ { 10 } p ( x ) \mathrm { d } x$$
    1. [a.] Verify that, for all real $x \geqslant 0$, $$p ( x ) = \frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { 0,2 x } } { 1 + \mathrm { e } ^ { 0,2 x } }$$
    2. [b.] Deduce an antiderivative of the function $p$ on $[ 0 ; + \infty [$.
    3. [c.] Determine the exact value of $m$ and its approximation to the nearest hundredth.
\textbf{Exercise 1 -- Part B}

The real number $x$ represents the time elapsed, in years, since January 1st, 2000. The number $p ( x )$ models the proportion of equipped individuals after $x$ years. Thus, for this model, $p ( 0 )$ is the proportion of equipped individuals on January 1st, 2000 and $p ( 3.5 )$ is the proportion of equipped individuals in the middle of 2003.
