Exercise 4 (5 points) -- Candidates who have chosen the specialization option
A software allows transforming a rectangular element of a photograph. Thus, the initial rectangle OEFG is transformed into a rectangle $OE'F'G'$, called the image of OEFG.
The purpose of this exercise is to study the rectangle obtained after several successive transformations.
Part A
The plane is referred to an orthonormal coordinate system $(O, \vec{\imath}, \vec{\jmath})$. The points E, F and G have coordinates respectively $(2; 2)$, $(-1; 5)$ and $(-3; 3)$. The software transformation associates with any point $M(x; y)$ of the plane the point $M'(x'; y')$, image of point $M$ such that: $$\left\{\begin{aligned} x' &= \frac{5}{4}x + \frac{3}{4}y \\ y' &= \frac{3}{4}x + \frac{5}{4}y \end{aligned}\right.$$
  1. a. Calculate the coordinates of points $E'$, $F'$ and $G'$, images of points E, F and G by this transformation. b. Compare the lengths OE and $OE'$ on one hand, OG and $OG'$ on the other hand.

Give the square matrix of order 2, denoted $A$, such that: $\binom{x'}{y'} = A\binom{x}{y}$.
Part B
In this part, we study the coordinates of the successive images of vertex F of rectangle OEFG when the software transformation is applied multiple times.
  1. Consider the algorithm intended to display the coordinates of these successive images.
  2. a. Prove that, for every natural integer $n$, the point $E_{n}$ is located on the line with equation $y = x$. One may use the fact that, for every natural integer $n$, the coordinates $(x_{n}; y_{n})$ of point $E_{n}$ satisfy: $$\binom{x_{n}}{y_{n}} = A^{n}\binom{2}{2}$$ b. Prove that the length $\mathrm{O}E_{n}$ tends towards $+\infty$ when $n$ tends towards $+\infty$.
