EXERCISE B - Differential equation Part A: Determination of a function $f$ and resolution of a differential equation Consider the function $f$ defined on $\mathbb{R}$ by: $$f(x) = \mathrm{e}^x + ax + b\mathrm{e}^{-x}$$ where $a$ and $b$ are real numbers that we propose to determine in this part. In the plane with a coordinate system with origin O, the curve $\mathscr{C}$, representing the function $f$, and the tangent line $(T)$ to the curve $\mathscr{C}$ at the point with abscissa 0 are shown.
By reading the graph, give the values of $f(0)$ and $f'(0)$.
Using the expression of the function $f$, express $f(0)$ as a function of $b$ and deduce the value of $b$.
We admit that the function $f$ is differentiable on $\mathbb{R}$ and we denote by $f'$ its derivative function. a. Give, for every real $x$, the expression of $f'(x)$. b. Express $f'(0)$ as a function of $a$. c. Using the previous questions, determine $a$, then deduce the expression of $f(x)$.
Consider the differential equation: $$( E ) : \quad y' + y = 2\mathrm{e}^x - x - 1$$ a. Verify that the function $g$ defined on $\mathbb{R}$ by: $$g(x) = \mathrm{e}^x - x + 2\mathrm{e}^{-x}$$ is a solution of equation $(E)$. b. Solve the differential equation $y' + y = 0$. c. Deduce all solutions of equation $(E)$.
Part B: Study of the function $g$ on $[1;+\infty[$
Verify that for every real $x$, we have: $$\mathrm{e}^{2x} - \mathrm{e}^x - 2 = (\mathrm{e}^x - 2)(\mathrm{e}^x + 1)$$
Deduce a factored expression of $g'(x)$, for every real $x$.
We will admit that, for all $x \in [1;+\infty[$, $\mathrm{e}^x - 2 > 0$. Study the direction of variation of the function $g$ on $[1;+\infty[$.
