The correct Answer is:
To find the smallest natural value of \( a \) for which the function \[ f(x) = 2(x + 1) - a(2^{-x}) + (2a + 1)(\ln 2)x - 6 \] is increasing for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \), we need to analyze the derivative of the function. A function is increasing if its derivative is non-negative for all \( x \). ### Step 1: Find the derivative of \( f(x) \) We start by differentiating \( f(x) \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left[2(x + 1)\right] - \frac{d}{dx}\left[a(2^{-x})\right] + \frac{d}{dx}\left[(2a + 1)(\ln 2)x\right] - \frac{d}{dx}[6] \] Calculating each term: 1. The derivative of \( 2(x + 1) \) is \( 2 \). 2. The derivative of \( -a(2^{-x}) \) is \( a(2^{-x} \ln(2)) \) (using the chain rule). 3. The derivative of \( (2a + 1)(\ln 2)x \) is \( (2a + 1)(\ln 2) \). 4. The derivative of \( -6 \) is \( 0 \). Thus, we have: \[ f'(x) = 2 + a(2^{-x} \ln 2) + (2a + 1)(\ln 2) \] ### Step 2: Set the derivative greater than or equal to zero For \( f(x) \) to be increasing, we need: \[ f'(x) \geq 0 \] This leads to: \[ 2 + a(2^{-x} \ln 2) + (2a + 1)(\ln 2) \geq 0 \] ### Step 3: Rearranging the inequality Rearranging gives us: \[ a(2^{-x} \ln 2) + (2a + 1)(\ln 2) \geq -2 \] ### Step 4: Analyze the terms Notice that \( 2^{-x} \) decreases as \( x \) increases. Thus, the term \( a(2^{-x} \ln 2) \) can become very small for large \( x \). Therefore, we need to ensure that the inequality holds for all \( x \). ### Step 5: Find the critical point To find the minimum value of \( a \), we can analyze the situation when \( x \) approaches infinity, where \( 2^{-x} \) approaches \( 0 \): \[ (2a + 1)(\ln 2) \geq -2 \] This simplifies to: \[ 2a + 1 \geq -\frac{2}{\ln 2} \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( a \) Calculating \( -\frac{2}{\ln 2} \): Using \( \ln 2 \approx 0.693 \): \[ -\frac{2}{\ln 2} \approx -\frac{2}{0.693} \approx -2.886 \] Thus, we have: \[ 2a + 1 \geq -2.886 \] Subtracting \( 1 \): \[ 2a \geq -3.886 \] Dividing by \( 2 \): \[ a \geq -1.943 \] ### Step 7: Finding the smallest natural number Since \( a \) must be a natural number, the smallest natural number satisfying this condition is \( 1 \). ### Conclusion The smallest natural value of \( a \) for which the function \( f(x) \) is increasing for all \( x \in \mathbb{R} \) is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
