5 maths questions

Q1 7 marks Differentiating Transcendental Functions Graphical identification of function or derivative View
Exercise 1 - Part A
Here are two curves $\mathcal { C } _ { 1 }$ and $\mathcal { C } _ { 2 }$ which give for two people $P _ { 1 }$ and $P _ { 2 }$ of different body compositions the concentration $C$ of alcohol in the blood (blood alcohol level) as a function of time $t$ after ingestion of the same quantity of alcohol. The instant $t = 0$ corresponds to the moment when the two individuals ingest the alcohol. $C$ is expressed in grams per litre and $t$ in hours.
  1. The function $C$ is defined on the interval $\left[ 0 ; + \infty \left[ \right. \right.$ and we denote $C ^ { \prime }$ its derivative function. At an instant $t$ positive or zero, the rate of appearance of alcohol in the blood is given by $C ^ { \prime } ( t )$. At what instant is this rate maximal? It is often said that a person of weak body composition experiences the effects of alcohol more quickly.
  2. On the previous graph, identify the curve corresponding to the person with the largest body composition. Justify the choice made.
  3. A person on an empty stomach ingests alcohol. It is admitted that the concentration $C$ of alcohol in their blood can be modelled by the function $f$ defined on $[ 0 ; + \infty [$ by $$f ( t ) = A t \mathrm { e } ^ { - t }$$ where $A$ is a positive constant that depends on the body composition and the quantity of alcohol ingested. a. We denote $f ^ { \prime }$ the derivative function of the function $f$. Determine $f ^ { \prime } ( 0 )$. b. Is the following statement true? ``For equal quantities of alcohol ingested, the larger $A$ is, the more corpulent the person is.''

Part B - A particular case
Paul, a 19-year-old student of average body composition and a young driver, drinks two glasses of rum. The concentration $C$ of alcohol in his blood is modelled as a function of time $t$, expressed in hours, by the function $f$ defined on $[ 0 ; + \infty [$ by $$f ( t ) = 2 t \mathrm { e } ^ { - t } .$$
  1. Study the variations of the function $f$ on the interval $[ 0 ; + \infty [$.
  2. At what instant is the concentration of alcohol in Paul's blood maximal? What is its value then? Round to $10 ^ { - 2 }$ near.
  3. Recall the limit of $\frac { \mathrm { e } ^ { t } } { t }$ as $t$ tends to $+ \infty$ and deduce from it that of $f ( t )$ at $+ \infty$. Interpret the result in the context of the exercise.
  4. Paul wants to know after how much time he can take his car. We recall that the legislation allows a maximum concentration of alcohol in the blood of $0,2 \mathrm {~g} . \mathrm { L } ^ { - 1 }$ for a young driver. a. Prove that there exist two real numbers $t _ { 1 }$ and $t _ { 2 }$ such that $f \left( t _ { 1 } \right) = f \left( t _ { 2 } \right) = 0,2$. b. What minimum duration must Paul wait before he can take the wheel in full compliance with the law? Give the result rounded to the nearest minute.
  5. The minimum concentration of alcohol detectable in the blood is estimated at $5 \times 10 ^ { - 3 }$ g.L${}^{ - 1 }$. a. Justify that there exists an instant $T$ from which the concentration of alcohol in the blood is no longer detectable. b. The following algorithm is given where $f$ is the function defined by $f ( t ) = 2 t \mathrm { e } ^ { - t }$.
    Initialization:$t$ takes the value 3,5
    $p$ takes the value 0,25
    $C$ takes the value 0,21
    Processing:While $C > 5 \times 10 ^ { - 3 }$ do:
    $\quad \mid \quad t$ takes the value $t + p$
    $\quad C$ takes the value $f ( t )$
    Output:End While
    Display $t$

    Copy and complete the following table of values by executing this algorithm. Round the values to $10 ^ { - 2 }$ near.

    What does the value displayed by this algorithm represent?
Q2 Sequences and series, recurrence and convergence Auxiliary sequence transformation View
Exercise 2
Let $u$ be the sequence defined by $u _ { 0 } = 2$ and, for every natural integer $n$, by $$u _ { n + 1 } = 2 u _ { n } + 2 n ^ { 2 } - n .$$ We also consider the sequence $v$ defined, for every natural integer $n$, by $$v _ { n } = u _ { n } + 2 n ^ { 2 } + 3 n + 5$$
  1. Here is an extract from a spreadsheet:

    What formulas were written in cells C2 and B3 and copied downward to display the terms of the sequences $u$ and $v$?
  2. Determine, by justifying, an expression of $v _ { n }$ and of $u _ { n }$ as a function of $n$ only.
Q3 5 marks Exponential Distribution View
Exercise 3
Part A
An astronomer responsible for an astronomy club observed the sky one August evening in 2015 to see shooting stars. He made observations of the waiting time between two appearances of shooting stars. He then modelled this waiting time, expressed in minutes, by a random variable $T$ which follows an exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$. By exploiting the data obtained, he established that $\lambda = 0,2$.
  1. When the group sees a shooting star, verify that the probability that it waits less than 3 minutes to see the next shooting star is approximately 0,451.
  2. When the group sees a shooting star, what minimum duration must it wait to see the next one with a probability greater than 0,95? Round this time to the nearest minute.
  3. The astronomer has planned an outing of two hours. Estimate the average number of observations of shooting stars during this outing.

Part B
This manager sends a questionnaire to his members to get to know them better. He obtains the following information:
  • $64 \%$ of the people surveyed are new members;
  • $27 \%$ of the people surveyed are former members who own a personal telescope;
  • $65 \%$ of new members do not have a personal telescope.

  1. A member is chosen at random. Show that the probability that this member owns a personal telescope is 0,494.
  2. A member is chosen at random from among those who own a personal telescope. What is the probability that this is a new member? Round to $10 ^ { - 3 }$ near.

Part C
For practical reasons, the astronomer responsible for the club would like to install an observation site on the heights of a small town of 2500 inhabitants. But light pollution due to public lighting harms the quality of observations. To try to convince the town hall to cut off the night lighting during observation nights, the astronomer conducts a random survey of 100 inhabitants and obtains 54 favourable opinions on cutting off the night lighting. The astronomer makes the hypothesis that $50 \%$ of the village population is in favour of cutting off the night lighting. Does the result of this survey lead him to change his mind?
