Math Problem Statement

Analyzing the function f(x) = x - 2√x + 2 and studying a sequence defined by u_{n+1} = (1/3)u_n + n - 2 with u_0 = 1. Tasks include determining the domain, limits, derivatives, asymptotes, sequence behavior, and proving monotonicity and bounds.

Solution

The exercise provided involves the analysis of a mathematical function f(x)=x2x+2f(x) = x - 2\sqrt{x} + 2, alongside a sequence defined by a recurrence relation. Here's a detailed overview of the tasks:


I. Exercice 1 Breakdown

1. Domain and Limit

  • Determine DfD_f, the domain of ff.
  • Calculate limx+f(x)\lim_{x \to +\infty} f(x).

2. Asymptotic Behavior

  • Study the infinite branches (asymptotes) of the curve (Cf)(\mathcal{C}_f).

3. Relative Position

  • Analyze the position of (Cf)(\mathcal{C}_f) relative to the line y=xy = x.

4. Differentiability

  • Study the differentiability of ff at x=0x = 0.

5. Derivative and Monotonicity

  • Compute f(x)f'(x) and determine its behavior for x[0,+]x \in [0, +\infty].

6. Variation Table

  • Construct the variation table of ff (increasing/decreasing intervals).

7. Graphical Representation

  • Draw the curve (Cf)(\mathcal{C}_f) and the line y=xy = x.

Sequence Analysis

A sequence (un)(u_n) is defined by: un+1=13un+n2,u0=1,nN.u_{n+1} = \frac{1}{3}u_n + n - 2, \quad u_0 = 1, \quad \forall n \in \mathbb{N}.

8. Strictly Increasing Sequence

  • Show that (un)(u_n) is strictly increasing.

9. Bounded Sequence

  • Show that (un)(u_n) is unbounded.

10. Limit of the Sequence

  • Determine the behavior and limits of unu_n.
