4 maths questions

Q1 4 marks Differential equations Verification that a Function Satisfies a DE View
For each of the following statements, indicate whether it is true or false. Each answer must be justified. An unjustified answer earns no points.
  1. Consider the function $f$ defined on $\mathbb { R }$ by: $f ( x ) = 5 x \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }$.

We denote by $C _ { f }$ the representative curve of $f$ in an orthonormal coordinate system.
Statement 1: The $x$-axis is a horizontal asymptote to the curve $C _ { f }$.
Statement 2: The function $f$ is a solution on $\mathbb { R }$ of the differential equation $( E ) : y ^ { \prime } + y = 5 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }$.
2. Consider the sequences $\left( u _ { n } \right) , \left( v _ { n } \right)$ and $\left( w _ { n } \right)$, such that, for every natural integer $n$ :
$$u _ { n } \leqslant v _ { n } \leqslant w _ { n } .$$
Moreover, the sequence $( u _ { n } )$ converges to $- 1$ and the sequence $( w _ { n } )$ converges to $1$.
Statement 3: The sequence $\left( \nu _ { n } \right)$ converges to a real number $\ell$ belonging to the interval $[ - 1 ; 1 ]$.
We further assume that the sequence $( u _ { n } )$ is increasing and that the sequence $( w _ { n } )$ is decreasing.
Statement 4: For every natural integer $n$, we then have: $\quad u _ { 0 } \leqslant v _ { n } \leqslant w _ { 0 }$.
Q2 Conditional Probability Bayes' Theorem with Production/Source Identification View
A marketing agency studied customer satisfaction regarding customer service when purchasing a television. These purchases were made either online, in an appliance store chain, or in a large supermarket. Online purchases represent $60 \%$ of sales, appliance store purchases $30 \%$ of sales, and large supermarket purchases $10 \%$ of sales. A survey shows that the proportion of customers satisfied with customer service is:
  • $75 \%$ for online customers;
  • $90 \%$ for appliance store customers;
  • $80 \%$ for large supermarket customers.

A customer who purchased the television model in question is chosen at random. The following events are defined:
  • I: ``the customer made their purchase online'';
  • $M$: ``the customer made their purchase in an appliance store'';
  • $G$: ``the customer made their purchase in a large supermarket'';
  • S: ``the customer is satisfied with customer service''.

If $A$ is any event, we denote by $\bar { A }$ its complementary event and $P ( A )$ its probability.
  1. Reproduce and complete the tree diagram opposite.
  2. Calculate the probability that the customer made their purchase online and is satisfied with customer service.
  3. Prove that $P ( S ) = 0.8$.
  4. A customer is satisfied with customer service. What is the probability that they made their purchase online? Give the result rounded to $10 ^ { - 3 }$.
  5. To conduct the study, the agency must contact 30 customers each day among the television buyers. We assume that the number of customers is large enough to treat the choice of 30 customers as sampling with replacement. Let $X$ be the random variable that, for each sample of 30 customers, associates the number of customers satisfied with customer service. a. Justify that $X$ follows a binomial distribution and specify its parameters. b. Determine the probability, rounded to $10 ^ { - 3 }$, that at least 25 customers are satisfied in a sample of 30 customers contacted on the same day.
  6. By solving an inequality, determine the minimum sample size of customers to contact so that the probability that at least one of them is not satisfied is greater than $0.99$.
  7. In the two questions a. and b. that follow, we are only interested in online purchases. When a television order is placed by a customer, the delivery time of the television is modeled by a random variable $T$ equal to the sum of two random variables $T _ { 1 }$ and $T _ { 2 }$.

The random variable $T _ { 1 }$ models the integer number of days for the television to be transported from a storage warehouse to a distribution platform. The random variable $T _ { 2 }$ models the integer number of days for the television to be transported from this platform to the customer's home.
We admit that the random variables $T _ { 1 }$ and $T _ { 2 }$ are independent, and we are given:
  • The expectation $E \left( T _ { 1 } \right) = 4$ and the variance $V \left( T _ { 1 } \right) = 2$;
  • The expectation $E \left( T _ { 2 } \right) = 3$ and the variance $V \left( T _ { 2 } \right) = 1$. a. Determine the expectation $E ( T )$ and the variance $V ( T )$ of the random variable $T$. b. A customer places a television order online. Justify that the probability that they receive their television between 5 and 9 days after their order is greater than or equal to $\frac { 2 } { 3 }$.
Q3 Vectors: Lines & Planes Multi-Step Geometric Modeling Problem View
Space is equipped with an orthonormal coordinate system ( $\mathrm { O } ; \vec { \imath } , \vec { \jmath } , \vec { k }$ ). Consider the points $\mathrm { A } ( 5 ; 5 ; 0 ) , \mathrm { B } ( 0 ; 5 ; 0 ) , \mathrm { C } ( 0 ; 0 ; 10 )$ and $\mathrm { D } \left( 0 ; 0 ; - \frac { 5 } { 2 } \right)$.
  1. a. Show that $\overrightarrow { n _ { 1 } } \left( \begin{array} { c } 1 \\ - 1 \\ 0 \end{array} \right)$ is a normal vector to the plane (CAD). b. Deduce that the plane (CAD) has the Cartesian equation: $x - y = 0$.
  2. Consider the line $\mathscr { D }$ with parametric representation $\left\{ \begin{aligned} x & = \frac { 5 } { 2 } t \\ y & = 5 - \frac { 5 } { 2 } t \text { where } t \in \mathbb { R } \text { . } \\ z & = 0 \end{aligned} \right.$ a. We admit that the line $\mathscr { D }$ and the plane (CAD) intersect at a point H. Justify that the coordinates of H are $\left( \frac { 5 } { 2 } ; \frac { 5 } { 2 } ; 0 \right)$. b. Prove that the point H is the orthogonal projection of B onto the plane (CAD).
  3. a. Prove that the triangle ABH is right-angled at H. b. Deduce that the area of triangle ABH is equal to $\frac { 25 } { 4 }$.
  4. a. Prove that ( CO ) is the height of the tetrahedron ABCH from C. b. Deduce the volume of the tetrahedron ABCH.

We recall that the volume of a tetrahedron is given by: $V = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \mathscr { B } h$, where $\mathscr { B }$ is the area of a base and h the height relative to this base.
5. We admit that the triangle ABC is right-angled at B. Deduce from the previous questions the distance from point H to the plane (ABC).
Q4 Applied differentiation Full function study (variation table, limits, asymptotes) View
Part A: study of the function $\boldsymbol { f }$
The function $f$ is defined on the interval $] 0$; $+ \infty$ [ by:
$$f ( x ) = x - 2 + \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln x$$
where ln denotes the natural logarithm function. We admit that the function $f$ is twice differentiable on $] 0 ; + \infty \left[ \right.$, we denote by $f ^ { \prime }$ its derivative and $f ^ { \prime \prime }$ its second derivative.
  1. a. Determine, by justifying, the limits of $f$ at 0 and at $+ \infty$. b. Show that for all $x$ belonging to $] 0$; $+ \infty \left[ \right.$, we have: $f ^ { \prime } ( x ) = \frac { 2 x + 1 } { 2 x }$. c. Study the direction of variation of $f$ on $] 0 ; + \infty [$. d. Study the convexity of $f$ on $] 0 ; + \infty [$.
  2. a. Show that the equation $f ( x ) = 0$ admits in $] 0 ; + \infty [$ a unique solution which we denote by $\alpha$ and justify that $\alpha$ belongs to the interval $[ 1 ; 2 ]$. b. Determine the sign of $f ( x )$ for $x \in ] 0$; $+ \infty [$. c. Show that $\ln ( \alpha ) = 2 ( 2 - \alpha )$.

Part B: study of the function $g$
The function $g$ is defined on $] 0 ; 1]$ by:
$$g ( x ) = - \frac { 7 } { 8 } x ^ { 2 } + x - \frac { 1 } { 4 } x ^ { 2 } \ln x .$$
We admit that the function $g$ is differentiable on $] 0 ; 1 ]$ and we denote by $g ^ { \prime }$ its derivative function.
  1. Calculate $g ^ { \prime } ( x )$ for $\left. x \in \right] 0$; 1] then verify that $g ^ { \prime } ( x ) = x f \left( \frac { 1 } { x } \right)$.
  2. a. Justify that for $x$ belonging to the interval $] 0$; $\frac { 1 } { \alpha } \left[ \right.$, we have $f \left( \frac { 1 } { x } \right) > 0$. b. We admit the following sign table:

$x$\multicolumn{1}{|c}{0}$\frac { 1 } { \alpha }$1
sign of $f \left( \frac { 1 } { x } \right)$+0-

Deduce the variation table of $g$ on the interval $] 0 ; 1 ]$. Images and limits are not required.
Part C: an area calculation
The following are represented on the graph below:
  • The curve $\mathscr { C } _ { g }$ of the function $g$;
  • The parabola $\mathscr { P }$ with equation $y = - \frac { 7 } { 8 } x ^ { 2 } + x$ on the interval $\left. ] 0 ; 1 \right]$.

We wish to calculate the area $\mathscr { A }$ of the shaded region between the curves $\mathscr { C } _ { g }$ and $\mathscr { P }$, and the lines with equations $x = \frac { 1 } { \alpha }$ and $x = 1$. We recall that $\ln ( \alpha ) = 2 ( 2 - \alpha )$.
  1. a. Justify the relative position of the curves $C _ { g }$ and $\mathscr { P }$ on the interval $\left. ] 0 ; 1 \right]$. b. Prove the equality: $$\int _ { \frac { 1 } { \alpha } } ^ { 1 } x ^ { 2 } \ln x \mathrm {~d} x = \frac { - \alpha ^ { 3 } - 6 \alpha + 13 } { 9 \alpha ^ { 3 } }$$
  2. Deduce the expression as a function of $\alpha$ of the area $\mathscr { A }$.
