To determine the sign variation of g′(x), we first calculate the derivative g′(x) using Leibniz's Rule for differentiation under the integral sign.
Given:
g(x)=∫0ex1+t2f′(t)dt
Applying Leibniz's Rule with respect to x:
g′(x)=1+(ex)2f′(ex)⋅dxd(ex)−0
g′(x)=1+e2xexf′(ex)
Since ex>0 and 1+e2x>0 for all x∈(−∞,∞), the sign of g′(x) is completely determined by the sign of f′(ex).
Next, we calculate f′(t) using the quotient rule for f(t)=t2+at+1t2−at+1:
f′(t)=(t2+at+1)2(2t−a)(t2+at+1)−(t2−at+1)(2t+a)
Expanding the numerator:
(2t−a)(t2+at+1)=2t3+at2+(2−a2)t−a
(t2−at+1)(2t+a)=2t3−at2+(2−a2)t+a
Subtracting the two expressions gives:
Numerator=2at2−(−2at2)−a−a=2at2−2a=2a(t2−1)
Thus, the derivative f′(t) simplifies to:
f′(t)=(t2+at+1)22a(t2−1)
Now, substituting t=ex:
f′(ex)=(e2x+aex+1)22a(e2x−1)
Since 0<a<2, we have 2a>0 and (e2x+aex+1)2>0 for all real numbers x. Hence, the sign of f′(ex), and consequently the sign of g′(x), depends solely on the expression (e2x−1):
-
For x∈(−∞,0):
x<0⟹2x<0⟹e2x<1⟹e2x−1<0
Therefore, g′(x)<0 on (−∞,0) (i.e., g′(x) is negative on (−∞,0)).
-
For x∈(0,∞):
x>0⟹2x>0⟹e2x>1⟹e2x−1>0
Therefore, g′(x)>0 on (0,∞) (i.e., g′(x) is positive on (0,∞)).
Hence, g′(x) is negative on (−∞,0) and positive on (0,∞).
