Consider the function $f$ defined on $\mathbb { R }$ by
$$f ( x ) = x ^ { 3 } \mathrm { e } ^ { x }$$
It is admitted that the function $f$ is differentiable on $\mathbb { R }$ and we denote $f ^ { \prime }$ its derivative function.
  1. The sequence $(u _ { n })$ is defined by $u _ { 0 } = - 1$ and, for all natural integer $n$, $u _ { n + 1 } = f \left( u _ { n } \right)$. a. Calculate $u _ { 1 }$ then $u _ { 2 }$.
    Exact values will be given, then approximate values to $10 ^ { - 3 }$. b. Consider the function fonc, written in Python language below.
    Recall that in Python language, ``i in range (n)'' means that i varies from 0 to n -1.
    \begin{verbatim} def fonc (n): u =- 1 for i in range(n) : u=u**3*exp(u) return u \end{verbatim}
    Determine, without justification, the value returned by fonc (2) rounded to $10 ^ { - 3 }$.
  2. a. Prove that, for all real $x$, we have $f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } \mathrm { e } ^ { x } ( x + 3 )$. b. Justify that the variation table of $f$ on $\mathbb { R }$ is the one represented below:
    $x$$- \infty$- 3$+ \infty$
    0$+ \infty$
    $f$$+ 27 \mathrm { e } ^ { - 3 }$

    c. Prove, by induction, that for all natural integer $n$, we have:
    $$- 1 \leqslant u _ { n } \leqslant u _ { n + 1 } \leqslant 0$$
    d. Deduce that the sequence $(u _ { n })$ is convergent. e. We denote $\ell$ the limit of the sequence $(u _ { n })$.
    Recall that $\ell$ is a solution of the equation $f ( x ) = x$. Determine $\ell$. (For this, it will be admitted that the equation $x ^ { 2 } \mathrm { e } ^ { x } - 1 = 0$ has only one solution in $\mathbb { R }$ and that this solution is strictly greater than $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$).
Consider the function $f$ defined on $\mathbb { R }$ by

b. Consider the function fonc, written in Python language below.

Recall that in Python language, ``i in range (n)'' means that i varies from 0 to n -1.
