1. We have
(−1)n 1 1
So |1 + − 1| = < ϵ, when n > N = [ ] (01 Pt)
n n ϵ
2. Theorem 1 Rolle’s theorem. If f is continuous on a closed interval [a, b], and diffe-
rentiable on the open interval ]a, b[, and f (a) = f (b), then there exists c ∈]a, b[ such that
f ′ (c) = 0. (01 Pt)
Application : sin is continuous on [0, π], differentiable on ]0, π[ and sin(0) = sin(π) =
0, then according to the Rolle’s theorem there exists c ∈]0, π[ such that
π
cos c = 0 ⇔ c = . (01P t)

3. Theorem 2 Intermediate value theorem : If the function f is continuous in the
bounded and closed [a, b] interval, then every value y between f (a) and f (b) is attained
c in [a, b], such that y = f (c) (1.5 Pt)
In logical symbolism this theorem has the following expression :
f ∈ C([a, b]), and f (a).f (b) < 0 ⇒ ∃c ∈]a, b[, such that f (c) = 0.
Exercise 1 :
1. For n = 0, U0 = 1 ∈]0, 10[. true. We suppose that Un ∈]0, 10[ i.e 0 < Un < 10. (0.5 Pt)
So √ q
6 < Un + 6 < 16 ⇒ 6 < 6 + Un < 4, (0.5P t)
then √
0< 6 < Un+1 < 4 < 10, hence : Un+1 ∈]0, 10[. (0.5P t)
2. By induction we must prove that (Un ) is increasing ∀n ∈ N : Un ≤ Un+1
√ √
For n = 0, U0 = 1, U1 = 6 + 1 = 7, so U0 ≤ U1 . (01 Pt)
We suppose that
q q
Un ≤ Un+1 ⇒ 6 + Un ≤ 6 + Un+1 ⇒ 6 + Un ≤ 6 + Un+1 ⇒ Un+1 ≤ Un+2

— The continuity at x0 = 1
and
ln x
lim+ f (x) = lim+ (1 + ) = 1 = f (1); (0.5P t)
x→1 x→1 x
then f is continuous at 1 because
ln(x + 2)
lim f (x) = −∞ and lim f (x) = lim −x[ + 1] = −∞ (0.25 + 0.25P t)
x→−2 x→+∞ x→+∞ −x
Thus
1. On ] − 2, −1], we have
— f is continuous (0,25)
— ( lim f (x)).f (−1) = −∞ (0.5 Pt)
x→−2
— f is strictly increasing.
Then, according to the intermediate value theorem ∃!c1 ∈] − 2, −1] (0.5 Pt)
2. on [−1, 0], since f (−1) = 1 and f (0) = ln(2) > 0 then the equation f (x) = 0 has not
solution (0.5 Pt)
3. On [0, +∞[, we have
— f is continuous (0,25)
— f (0).( lim f (x)) = −∞ < 0 (0.5)
x→=+∞
— f is strictly decreasing
Then, according to the intermediate value theorem ∃!c2 ∈ [0, +∞[ (0.5 Pt)
