Consider the function $f$ defined on the interval $] 0 ; + \infty [$ by
$$f ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } - 6 x + 4 \ln ( x )$$
It is admitted that the function $f$ is twice differentiable on the interval $] 0 ; + \infty [$. We denote $f ^ { \prime }$ its derivative and $f ^ { \prime \prime }$ its second derivative. We denote $\mathscr { C } _ { f }$ the representative curve of the function $f$ in an orthogonal coordinate system.
  1. a. Determine $\lim _ { x \rightarrow 0 } f ( x )$.
    Interpret this result graphically. b. Determine $\lim _ { x \rightarrow + \infty } f ( x )$.
  2. a. Determine $f ^ { \prime } ( x )$ for all real $x$ belonging to $] 0 ; + \infty [$. b. Study the sign of $f ^ { \prime } ( x )$ on the interval $] 0 ; + \infty [$.
    Deduce the variation table of $f$.
  3. Show that the equation $f ( x ) = 0$ has a unique solution in the interval $[4;5]$.
  4. It is admitted that, for all $x$ in $] 0 ; + \infty [$, we have:
    $$f ^ { \prime \prime } ( x ) = \frac { 2 x ^ { 2 } - 4 } { x ^ { 2 } }$$
    a. Study the convexity of the function $f$ on $] 0 ; + \infty [$.
    The exact coordinates of any inflection points of $\mathscr { C } _ { f }$ will be specified. b. We denote A the point with coordinates $( \sqrt { 2 } ; f ( \sqrt { 2 } ) )$.
    Let $t$ be a strictly positive real number such that $t \neq \sqrt { 2 }$. Let $M$ be the point with coordinates $( t ; f ( t ) )$. Using question 4. a, indicate, according to the value of $t$, the relative positions of the segment [AM] and the curve $\mathscr { C } _ { f }$.
