EXERCICE 2

Keystroke :

(a+b*LN(x))/x STO> f(x)

f'

Simplif

solve([f(1)=2;f'(1)=0],[a,b])

2 STO> a
2 STO> b

f(x)
simplif

lim x->0 f(x)

lim x->+oo f(x)

For our US friends

BAC is the exam we need to go to French university.

If a USian want to go to French university, French education ask for 2 years of US university.

My grandfather Antoine received his french BAC degree in Istanbul in the early 20th century. I have the certificate with me at home!

My brother, father, and uncles all passed their French BAC exams in Lebanon, while studying under the French Jesuits there.

Vérifier que pour tout réel strictement positif x, f'(x) =(b -a)-b ln x / x2 .

Parenthesis are missing. That's not the correct solution.

PS: I find it somehow ironic that a CAS is used to solve a system of equations when in fact the exercise is chosen in a manner that this is not needed. Just insert (1, 2) into the definition of f(x) to get a = 2 instantly.

It's a typo error in the web site

In fact, I wonder if this exercice has been defined in a manner that a student without a brain can still resolve it ;)

Do you mean they are easier than the Jewish Problems?

Thanks for the link ! Interesting !

I tried to solve the first ones with the prime and get the instantaneous answers :

Problems 4, 5 and 1 :


Note that 'solve' also works with inequalities

Some interesting problems to try the Geometry Apps but no time for few days ...
