Let f(x)=e(p+1)x−exf(x)=e^{(p+1)x}-e^x for real p>0p>0. Then: (1) The value x=spx=s_p for which f(x)f(x) is minimum is (2) Let g(t)=∫tt+1f(x)et−x dxg(t)=\int_t^{t+1}f(x)e^{t-x}\,dx. The value t=tpt=t_p for which g(t)g(t) is minimum is (3) Using 1+p2≤ep−1p≤1+p2+p21+\frac{p}{2}\leq\frac{e^p-1}{p}\leq1+\frac{p}{2}+p^2 for 0<p≤10<p\leq1, find lim⁡p→0+(sp−tp)\lim_{p\to0^+}(s_p-t_p).
