Correct answer: D
The user wants me to determine which of the four given statements is true.
Let's analyze each statement one by one.
Statement A: ψ1(x)≤1, for all x > 0
The function is given by ψ1(x)=e−x+x for x≥0.
To analyze its behavior, we find its derivative:
ψ1′(x)=dxd(e−x+x)=−e−x+1
We check the sign of the derivative for x>0.
For x>0, we have −x<0, which implies e−x<e0=1.
Therefore, 1−e−x>0. So, ψ1′(x)>0 for all x>0.
This means that ψ1(x) is a strictly increasing function on the interval (0,∞).
The value of the function at x=0 is ψ1(0)=e0+0=1.
Since the function is strictly increasing for x>0, for any x>0, we have ψ1(x)>ψ1(0)=1.
The statement ψ1(x)≤1 for all x>0 is therefore FALSE.
Statement B: ψ2(x)≤0, for all x > 0
The function is given by ψ2(x)=x2−2x−2e−x+2 for x≥0.
We find its derivative:
ψ2′(x)=dxd(x2−2x−2e−x+2)=2x−2+2e−x=2(x−1+e−x)
Let's analyze the sign of the term h(x)=x−1+e−x. Its derivative is h′(x)=1−e−x.
As shown for statement A, 1−e−x>0 for x>0. So, h(x) is strictly increasing for x>0.
The value at x=0 is h(0)=0−1+e0=0.
Since h(x) is strictly increasing, for any x>0, we have h(x)>h(0)=0. This implies ψ2′(x)=2h(x)>0 for all x>0.
So, ψ2(x) is a strictly increasing function on (0,∞).
The value at x=0 is ψ2(0)=02−2(0)−2e0+2=−2+2=0.
Since ψ2(x) is strictly increasing for x>0, for any x>0, we have ψ2(x)>ψ2(0)=0.
The statement ψ2(x)≤0 for all x>0 is therefore FALSE.
Statement C: f(x)≥1−e−x2−32x3+52x5, for all x∈(0,21)
The function is f(x)=∫−xx(∣t∣−t2)e−t2dt.
The integrand F(t)=(∣t∣−t2)e−t2 is an even function, since F(−t)=(∣−t∣−(−t)2)e−(−t)2=(∣t∣−t2)e−t2=F(t).
Therefore, f(x)=2∫0x(∣t∣−t2)e−t2dt. For t≥0, ∣t∣=t, so f(x)=2∫0x(t−t2)e−t2dt.
Let's define a function ϕ(x)=f(x)−(1−e−x2−32x3+52x5). We want to check if ϕ(x)≥0.
We find the derivative of ϕ(x). Using the Leibniz rule for f′(x):
f′(x)=2(x−x2)e−x2=2xe−x2−2x2e−x2
The derivative of the second part is:
dxd(1−e−x2−32x3+52x5)=−e−x2(−2x)−2x2+2x4=2xe−x2−2x2+2x4
So, ϕ′(x)=f′(x)−(2xe−x2−2x2+2x4)=(2xe−x2−2x2e−x2)−(2xe−x2−2x2+2x4)=−2x2e−x2+2x2−2x4=2x2(1−e−x2−x2).
To determine the sign of ϕ′(x), we analyze the term k(u)=1−e−u−u for u=x2>0.
k′(u)=e−u−1. For u>0, e−u<1, so k′(u)<0. This means k(u) is a decreasing function for u>0.
Since k(0)=1−e0−0=0, we have k(u)<0 for all u>0.
Thus, for x>0, 1−e−x2−x2<0. Since 2x2>0, we have ϕ′(x)<0 for x>0.
This means ϕ(x) is a strictly decreasing function for x>0.
Let's check the value at x=0: ϕ(0)=f(0)−(1−e0−0+0)=0−(1−1)=0.
Since ϕ(0)=0 and ϕ(x) is strictly decreasing, we must have ϕ(x)<0 for all x>0. This implies f(x)<1−e−x2−32x3+52x5.
The statement f(x)≥1−e−x2−32x3+52x5 is therefore FALSE.
Statement D: g(x)≤32x3−52x5+71x7, for all x∈(0,21)
The function is g(x)=∫0x2te−tdt.
We use the Taylor series for e−t: e−t=1−t+2!t2−3!t3+….
For t>0, this is a convergent alternating series with terms that decrease in magnitude. For an alternating series, the sum is bounded by its partial sums. In particular, the sum is less than or equal to any partial sum ending on a positive term.
e−t≤1−t+2t2. This inequality holds for all t≥0.
The integrand involves te−t. Since t≥0 for t≥0, we can multiply the inequality by t:
te−t≤t(1−t+2t2)=t1/2−t3/2+21t5/2
Now, we integrate both sides from 0 to x2. Since the inequality holds for all t in the integration interval, the inequality will hold for the integrals as well.
g(x)=∫0x2te−tdt≤∫0x2(t1/2−t3/2+21t5/2)dt
We compute the integral on the right-hand side:
∫0x2(t1/2−t3/2+21t5/2)dt=[3/2t3/2−5/2t5/2+217/2t7/2]0x2=[32t3/2−52t5/2+71t7/2]0x2=(32(x2)3/2−52(x2)5/2+71(x2)7/2)−(0)=32x3−52x5+71x7
So, we have shown that g(x)≤32x3−52x5+71x7. This inequality holds for all x≥0, and therefore it must hold for x∈(0,1/2).
The statement is therefore TRUE.
Conclusion
Based on the analysis of all four options, only statement D is true.
