Main topics covered: Exponential function; differentiation; convexity
Part 1
Below is given, in the plane referred to an orthonormal reference frame, the curve representing the derivative function $f'$ of a function $f$ differentiable on $\mathbb{R}$. Using this curve, conjecture, by justifying the answers:
  1. The direction of variation of the function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$.
  2. The convexity of the function $f$ on $\mathbb{R}$.

Part 2
It is admitted that the function $f$ mentioned in Part 1 is defined on $\mathbb{R}$ by: $$f(x) = (x+2)\mathrm{e}^{-x}.$$ We denote $\mathscr{C}$ the representative curve of $f$ in an orthonormal reference frame $(\mathrm{O}; \vec{\imath}, \vec{\jmath})$. It is admitted that the function $f$ is twice differentiable on $\mathbb{R}$, and we denote $f'$ and $f''$ the first and second derivative functions of $f$ respectively.
  1. Show that, for every real number $x$, $$f(x) = \frac{x}{\mathrm{e}^x} + 2\mathrm{e}^{-x}.$$ Deduce the limit of $f$ at $+\infty$. Justify that the curve $\mathscr{C}$ admits an asymptote which you will specify. It is admitted that $\lim_{x \rightarrow -\infty} f(x) = -\infty$.
  2. a. Show that, for every real number $x$, $f'(x) = (-x-1)\mathrm{e}^{-x}$. b. Study the variations on $\mathbb{R}$ of the function $f$ and draw up its variation table. c. Show that the equation $f(x) = 2$ admits a unique solution $\alpha$ on the interval $[-2;-1]$ and give an approximate value to the nearest $10^{-1}$.
  3. Determine, for every real number $x$, the expression of $f''(x)$ and study the convexity of the function $f$.

What does point A with abscissa 0 represent for the curve $\mathscr{C}$?
