bac-s-maths 2017 Q3 Locus Identification from Modulus/Argument Equation View
Exercise 3 -- Common to all candidates
In a vast plain, a network of sensors makes it possible to detect lightning and to produce an image of storm phenomena. The radar screen is divided into forty sectors denoted by a letter and a number between 1 and 5. The lightning sensor is represented by the center of the screen; five concentric circles corresponding to the respective radii $20, 40, 60, 80$ and 100 kilometres delimit five zones numbered from 1 to 5, and eight segments starting from the sensor delimit eight portions of the same angular opening, named in the trigonometric direction from A to H.
We assimilate the radar screen to a part of the complex plane by defining an orthonormal coordinate system $(\mathrm{O}, \vec{u}, \vec{v})$:
  • the origin O marks the position of the sensor;
  • the abscissa axis is oriented from West to East;
  • the ordinate axis is oriented from South to North;
  • the chosen unit is the kilometre.
In the following, a point on the radar screen is associated with a point with affix $z$.
Part A
  1. We denote $z_{P}$ the affix of the point P located in sector B3 on the graph. We call $r$ the modulus of $z_{P}$ and $\theta$ its argument in the interval $]-\pi ; \pi]$. Among the four following propositions, determine the only one that proposes a correct bound for $r$ and for $\theta$ (no justification is required):
    Proposition AProposition BProposition CProposition D
    \begin{tabular}{ c } $40 < r < 60$
    and
    $0 < \theta < \frac{\pi}{4}$
    &
    $20 < r < 40$
    and
    $\frac{\pi}{2} < \theta < \frac{3\pi}{4}$
    &
    $40 < r < 60$
    and
    $\frac{\pi}{4} < \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$
    &
    $0 < r < 60$
    and
    $-\frac{\pi}{2} < \theta < -\frac{\pi}{4}$
    \hline \end{tabular}
  2. A lightning impact is materialized on the screen at a point with affix $z$. In each of the two following cases, determine the sector to which this point belongs: a. $z = 70 \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{i}\frac{\pi}{3}}$; b. $z = -45\sqrt{3} + 45\mathrm{i}$.

Part B
We assume in this part that the sensor displays an impact at point P with affix $50\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\frac{\pi}{3}}$. When the sensor displays the impact point P with affix $50\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{i}\frac{\pi}{3}}$, the affix $z$ of the actual lightning impact point admits:
  • a modulus that can be modeled by a random variable $M$ following a normal distribution with mean $\mu = 50$ and standard deviation $\sigma = 5$;
  • an argument that can be modeled by a random variable $T$ following a normal distribution with mean $\frac{\pi}{3}$ and standard deviation $\frac{\pi}{12}$.
We assume that the random variables $M$ and $T$ are independent. In the following, probabilities will be rounded to $10^{-3}$ near.
  1. Calculate the probability $P(M < 0)$ and interpret the result obtained.
  2. Calculate the probability $P(M \in ]40 ; 60[)$.
  3. We admit that $P\left(T \in \left]\frac{\pi}{4} ; \frac{\pi}{2}\right[\right) = 0.819$. Deduce the probability that the lightning actually struck sector B3 according to this modeling.

grandes-ecoles 2010 QI.A.4 Similarity, Rotation, and Geometric Transformations in the Complex Plane View
Throughout the problem, the set $\mathbf{C}$ of complex numbers is considered as the Euclidean affine plane equipped with its canonical orthonormal coordinate system $(0,1,i)$ (where $i^2=-1$). We denote by $K$ the set of triplets $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$ of $\mathbf{R}^3$ consisting of three non-negative real numbers such that $\alpha+\beta+\gamma=1$. If $(a,b,c)\in\mathbf{C}^3$, we denote by $\widehat{abc}$ the filled triangle defined by $\widehat{abc} = \{\alpha a + \beta b + \gamma c / (\alpha,\beta,\gamma)\in K\}$. We denote $\tau = \widehat{(-1)\,1\,\mathrm{i}}$. We denote by $\phi_0$ and $\phi_1$ the maps from $\mathbf{C}$ to $\mathbf{C}$ defined by: $\phi_0(z) = \frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{2}\bar{z} + \frac{-1+\mathrm{i}}{2}$ and $\phi_1(z) = \frac{1-\mathrm{i}}{2}\bar{z} + \frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{2}$.
What is the image of a filled triangle $\widehat{abc}$ by $\phi_0$ and by $\phi_1$? Determine $\phi_0(\tau)$ and $\phi_1(\tau)$.

We denote by $K$ the set of triplets $(\alpha,\beta,\gamma)$ of $\mathbf{R}^3$ consisting of three non-negative real numbers such that $\alpha+\beta+\gamma=1$. If $(a,b,c)\in\mathbf{C}^3$, we denote by $\widehat{abc}$ the filled triangle defined by $\widehat{abc} = \{\alpha a + \beta b + \gamma c / (\alpha,\beta,\gamma)\in K\}$. We denote $\tau = \widehat{(-1)\,1\,\mathrm{i}}$. We denote by $\phi_0$ and $\phi_1$ the maps from $\mathbf{C}$ to $\mathbf{C}$ defined by: $\phi_0(z) = \frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{2}\bar{z} + \frac{-1+\mathrm{i}}{2}$ and $\phi_1(z) = \frac{1-\mathrm{i}}{2}\bar{z} + \frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{2}$.
Let $(r_n)_{n\geq 1}$ be an element of $\{0,1\}^{\mathbf{N}^*}$. For each non-zero natural number $n$, we denote $\tilde{\tau}_n = \phi_{r_1}\circ\phi_{r_2}\circ\cdots\circ\phi_{r_n}(\tau)$.
Show that $\bigcap_{n\geq 1}\tilde{\tau}_n$ is reduced to a single point belonging to $\tau$.

We denote by $\mathcal{E}$ the set of continuous maps $g$ from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbf{C}$ such that $g(0)=-1$ and $g(1)=1$.
Determine the unique element $f_0$ of $\mathcal{E}$ which is affine.

We denote by $\mathcal{E}$ the set of continuous maps $g$ from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbf{C}$ such that $g(0)=-1$ and $g(1)=1$. We denote by $\phi_0$ and $\phi_1$ the maps from $\mathbf{C}$ to $\mathbf{C}$ defined by: $\phi_0(z) = \frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{2}\bar{z} + \frac{-1+\mathrm{i}}{2}$ and $\phi_1(z) = \frac{1-\mathrm{i}}{2}\bar{z} + \frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{2}$. If $g\in\mathcal{E}$, we denote by $Tg$ the map from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbf{C}$ defined by: $$Tg(x) = \phi_0(g(2x)) \text{ if } x\in\left[0,\frac{1}{2}\right] \text{ and } Tg(x) = \phi_1(g(2x-1)) \text{ if } x\in\left]\frac{1}{2},1\right]$$
Show that $Tg\in\mathcal{E}$ for all $g\in\mathcal{E}$.

We denote by $\mathcal{E}$ the set of continuous maps $g$ from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbf{C}$ such that $g(0)=-1$ and $g(1)=1$. The norm of uniform convergence on the $\mathbf{C}$-vector space of continuous maps from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbf{C}$ is denoted $\|\cdot\|_\infty$. We denote by $\phi_0$ and $\phi_1$ the maps from $\mathbf{C}$ to $\mathbf{C}$ defined by: $\phi_0(z) = \frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{2}\bar{z} + \frac{-1+\mathrm{i}}{2}$ and $\phi_1(z) = \frac{1-\mathrm{i}}{2}\bar{z} + \frac{1+\mathrm{i}}{2}$. If $g\in\mathcal{E}$, we denote by $Tg$ the map from $[0,1]$ to $\mathbf{C}$ defined by: $$Tg(x) = \phi_0(g(2x)) \text{ if } x\in\left[0,\frac{1}{2}\right] \text{ and } Tg(x) = \phi_1(g(2x-1)) \text{ if } x\in\left]\frac{1}{2},1\right]$$
Let $g_1$ and $g_2$ be two elements of $\mathcal{E}$. Prove that: $$\|Tg_2 - Tg_1\|_\infty = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\|g_2 - g_1\|_\infty$$
