taiwan-gsat 2023 Q20 6 marks Section Ratio and Division of Segments View
In an open space, there are three utility poles perpendicular to the ground with equal heights and equally spaced bases on a straight line. A person uses one-point perspective to draw these three utility poles on a canvas. A coordinate system is set up on the canvas so that the utility poles are parallel to the $y$-axis. The three base points are $A_{1}(0,0)$, $A_{2}$, $A_{3}$, all on the line $L: x + 3y = 0$; the three top points are $B_{1}(0,3)$, $B_{2}$, $B_{3}$, all on the line $M: 2x - 3y + 9 = 0$, as shown in the figure. It is known that $\overline{A_{3}B_{3}} = 2\overline{A_{1}B_{1}}$, and by one-point perspective, the intersection of lines $A_{1}B_{3}$ and $A_{3}B_{1}$ lies on line $A_{2}B_{2}$. Let $P$ be the intersection of $L$ and $M$ (this point is also called the "vanishing point").
Suppose a bee stops on the middle utility pole at a position where the ratio of distances from the base to the top is $1:2$. The person wants to draw this bee on the line segment $A_{2}B_{2}$ on the canvas. Assuming the bee's position on the canvas is point $Q$, that is, the ratio of the distance from point $Q$ to the base $A_{2}$ of line segment $A_{2}B_{2}$ to the distance to the top $B_{2}$ is $1:2$, find the coordinates of point $Q$.

A line on a two-dimensional plane can be expressed as $\alpha x + \beta y + \gamma = 0$, where $( x , y )$ is a point on the line in the Cartesian coordinate system. We call the column vector $( \alpha , \beta , \gamma ) ^ { \mathrm { T } }$ a coefficient vector of the line. Answer the following questions. Note that the coefficient vector in your answer must satisfy $\alpha ^ { 2 } + \beta ^ { 2 } = 1$.
(1) Find a coefficient vector of a line that passes through a point $\vec { a }$ and is perpendicular to a unit vector $\vec { v }$ on a two-dimensional plane.
(2) Let a line B pass through a point $\vec { b }$ and be perpendicular to a unit vector $\vec { n }$. Given a line $A$, let the line $A ^ { \prime }$ be the mirror transformation of the line $A$ over the line $B$. Using $\vec { b }$ and $\vec { n }$, write a three-dimensional square matrix that transforms a coefficient vector of the line A to a coefficient vector of the line $\mathrm { A } ^ { \prime }$.
(3) Find the determinant of the matrix derived in Question (2).
(4) Consider the movement of the line $\mathrm { D } _ { t }$ whose coefficient vector changes with the real variable $t$ as $\left( 4 t , 4 t ^ { 2 } - 1 , t \right) ^ { \mathrm { T } }$. This line passes through a point regardless of $t$. Find the coordinate of that point.
(5) Suppose that, with the mirror transformation over a line $M _ { t }$, which also changes with $t$, the line $\mathrm { D } _ { t }$ in Question (4) is transformed to the line with a coefficient vector $( 0,1 , - t ) ^ { \mathrm { T } }$. Find the coefficient vector $\left( \alpha _ { t } , \beta _ { t } , \gamma _ { t } \right) ^ { \mathrm { T } }$ of the line $\mathrm { M } _ { t }$, where $\alpha _ { t } > 0$ and $\beta _ { t } > 0$ for $t > 0$.
(6) When $t$ changes from 0 to $+ \infty$, consider the region where the line $\mathrm { M } _ { t }$ in Question (5) can exist. Describe the region using a simple mathematical expression and draw a diagram of the region.
