Exercise 1 (12.5 points)

Part I: Function Analysis

  • A function f(x)=x+1xf(x) = \frac{x+1}{\sqrt{x}} is defined on [0,+[[0, +\infty[. Questions include:
    1. Limit calculations:
      • limx+f(x)\lim_{x \to +\infty} f(x) and interpretation of the result.
      • limx0+f(x)\lim_{x \to 0^+} f(x), limx0+f(x)x\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{f(x)}{x}, and their interpretations.
    2. Proofs and curve analysis:
      • Prove f(x)x=(1x)(2x+x+1)2xf(x) - x = \frac{(1-\sqrt{x})(2x+\sqrt{x}+1)}{2\sqrt{x}}.
      • Determine the position of (Cf)(C_f) (curve) relative to the line y=xy = x.
    3. Monotonicity and derivative:
      • Prove f(x)=x12x3/2f'(x) = \frac{x-1}{2x^{3/2}} and analyze its behavior.
      • Create a variation table for f(x)f(x).
    4. Concavity:
      • Prove f(x)=3x4x5/2f''(x) = \frac{3-x}{4x^{5/2}}.
      • Study concavity, points of inflection, and sketch (Cf)(C_f) with respect to the axes.

Part II: Sequence Analysis

  • A sequence (un)(u_n) is defined as u0=4u_0 = 4, un+1=f(un)u_{n+1} = f(u_n).
    1. Prove un1nu_n \geq 1 \, \forall n.
    2. Show (un)(u_n) is decreasing.
    3. Prove (un)(u_n) converges and find its limit.

Exercise 2 (7.5 points)

Sequence Analysis

  • A sequence (Un)(U_n) is defined by U0=3U_0 = 3, Un+1=8(Un1)Un+2U_{n+1} = \frac{8(U_n - 1)}{U_n + 2}.
    1. Prove nN,2<Un<4\forall n \in \mathbb{N}, 2 < U_n < 4.
    2. Show (Un)(U_n) is increasing, and deduce convergence.
    3. Analyze another sequence (Vn)(V_n):
      • Prove it is geometric, specifying the ratio qq and first term.
      • Derive its general expression.
      • Calculate limnVn\lim_{n \to \infty} V_n.
    4. Show n3,Un+1445Un4\forall n \geq 3, |U_{n+1} - 4| \leq \frac{4}{5} |U_n - 4|.
    5. Prove Un4(45)n|U_n - 4| \leq \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^n.
    6. Deduce limnUn\lim_{n \to \infty} U_n.
