7 maths questions

Q1A Binomial Distribution Compute Expectation, Variance, or Standard Deviation View
Part A
A competitor participates in an archery competition on a circular target. With each shot, the probability that he hits the target is equal to 0.8.
  1. The competitor shoots four arrows. It is considered that the shots are independent. Determine the probability that he hits the target at least three times.
  2. How many arrows should the competitor plan to shoot in order to hit the target an average of twelve times?
Q1B Normal Distribution Symmetric Interval / Confidence-Style Bound View
Part B
Between two phases of the competition, to improve, the competitor works on his lateral precision on another training target. He shoots arrows to try to hit a vertical band, with width 20 cm (shaded in the figure), as close as possible to the central vertical line. The plane containing the vertical band is equipped with a coordinate system: the central line aimed at is the $y$-axis. Let $X$ denote the random variable that, for any arrow shot reaching this plane, associates the abscissa of its point of impact.
It is assumed that the random variable $X$ follows a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 10.
  1. When the arrow reaches the plane, determine the probability that its point of impact is located outside the shaded band.
  2. How should the edges of the shaded band be modified so that, when the arrow reaches the plane, its point of impact is located inside the band with a probability equal to 0.6?
Q1C Exponential Distribution View
Part C
The lifetime (expressed in hours) of the electronic panel displaying the competitors' scores is a random variable $T$ that follows the exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda = 10^{-4}$ (expressed in $\mathrm{h}^{-1}$).
  1. What is the probability that the panel functions for at least 2000 hours?
  2. Organized presentation of knowledge

In this question, $\lambda$ denotes a strictly positive real number. Recall that the mathematical expectation of the random variable $T$ following an exponential distribution with parameter $\lambda$ is defined by: $\mathrm{E}(T) = \lim_{x \rightarrow +\infty} \int_{0}^{x} \lambda t \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda t} \mathrm{~d}t$. a. Consider the function $F$, defined for all real $t$ by: $F(t) = \left(-t - \frac{1}{\lambda}\right) \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda t}$.
Prove that the function $F$ is an antiderivative on $\mathbb{R}$ of the function $f$ defined for all real $t$ by: $f(t) = \lambda t \mathrm{e}^{-\lambda t}$. b. Deduce that the mathematical expectation of the random variable $T$ is equal to $\frac{1}{\lambda}$.
What is the expected lifetime of the electronic panel displaying the competitors' scores?
Q2 Vectors: Lines & Planes True/False or Verify a Given Statement View
For each of the four following statements, indicate whether it is true or false, and justify the answer. An unjustified answer is not taken into account. An absence of response is not penalized.
In questions 1 and 2, the space is equipped with an orthonormal coordinate system, and we consider the planes $\mathscr{P}_{1}$ and $\mathscr{P}_{2}$ with equations $x + y + z - 5 = 0$ and $7x - 2y + z - 2 = 0$ respectively.
  1. Statement 1: the planes $\mathscr{P}_{1}$ and $\mathscr{P}_{2}$ are perpendicular.
  2. Statement 2: the planes $\mathscr{P}_{1}$ and $\mathscr{P}_{2}$ intersect along the line with parametric representation: $$\left\{ \begin{aligned} x & = t \\ y & = 2t + 1, \quad t \in \mathbb{R} \\ z & = -3t + 4 \end{aligned} \right.$$
  3. A video game player always adopts the same strategy. Out of the first 312 games played, he wins 223. The games played are treated as a random sample of size 312 from the set of all games. It is desired to estimate the proportion of games that the player will win in the next games he plays, while maintaining the same strategy. Statement 3: at the 95\% confidence level, the proportion of games won should belong to the interval $[0.658; 0.771]$.
  4. Consider the following algorithm:

VARIABLES\begin{tabular}{l} $a, b$ are two real numbers such that $a < b$
$x$ is a real number
$f$ is a function defined on the interval $[a; b]$
\hline PROCESSING &
Read $a$ and $b$
While $b - a > 0.3$
$x$ takes the value $\frac{a + b}{2}$
If $f(x)f(a) > 0$, then $a$ takes the value $x$ otherwise $b$ takes the value $x$
End If
End While
Display $\frac{a + b}{2}$
\hline \end{tabular}
Statement 4: if we enter $a = 1, b = 2$ and $f(x) = x^{2} - 3$, then the algorithm displays as output the number 1.6875.
Q3 Differentiating Transcendental Functions Evaluate derivative at a point or find tangent slope View
For every natural number $n$, the function $f_{n}$ is defined for all real $x$ in the interval $[0; 1]$ by:
$$f_{n}(x) = x + \mathrm{e}^{n(x-1)}$$
Let $\mathscr{C}_{n}$ denote the graph of the function $f_{n}$ in an orthogonal coordinate system.
Part A: generalities on the functions $\boldsymbol{f}_{\boldsymbol{n}}$
  1. Prove that, for every natural number $n$, the function $f_{n}$ is increasing and positive on the interval $[0; 1]$.
  2. Show that the curves $\mathscr{C}_{n}$ all have a common point A, and specify its coordinates.
  3. Using the graphical representations, can one conjecture the behavior of the slopes of the tangent lines at A to the curves $\mathscr{C}_{n}$ for large values of $n$? Prove this conjecture.

Part B: evolution of $\boldsymbol{f}_{\boldsymbol{n}}(\boldsymbol{x})$ when $x$ is fixed
Let $x$ be a fixed real number in the interval $[0; 1]$. For every natural number $n$, we set $u_{n} = f_{n}(x)$.
  1. In this question, assume that $x = 1$. Study the possible limit of the sequence $(u_{n})$.
  2. In this question, assume that $0 \leq x < 1$. Study the possible limit of the sequence $(u_{n})$.

Part C: area under the curves $\mathscr{C}_{\boldsymbol{n}}$
For every natural number $n$, let $A_{n}$ denote the area, expressed in square units, of the region located between the $x$-axis, the curve $\mathscr{C}_{n}$ and the lines with equations $x = 0$ and $x = 1$ respectively. Based on the graphical representations, conjecture the limit of the sequence $(A_{n})$ as the integer $n$ tends to $+\infty$, then prove this conjecture.
Q4a 5 marks Complex Numbers Arithmetic Roots of Unity and Cyclotomic Expressions View
Exercise 4 — Candidates who have not chosen the specialty course
The plane is equipped with the direct orthonormal coordinate system $(\mathrm{O}; \vec{u}, \vec{v})$. We are given the complex number $\mathrm{j} = -\frac{1}{2} + \mathrm{i}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$. The purpose of this exercise is to study some properties of the number j and to highlight a connection between this number and equilateral triangles.
Part A: properties of the number j
  1. a. Solve in the set $\mathbb{C}$ of complex numbers the equation $$z^{2} + z + 1 = 0$$ b. Verify that the complex number j is a solution of this equation.
  2. Determine the modulus and an argument of the complex number j, then give its exponential form.
  3. Prove the following equalities: a. $j^{3} = 1$; b. $\mathrm{j}^{2} = -1 - \mathrm{j}$.
  4. Let $\mathrm{P}, \mathrm{Q}, \mathrm{R}$ be the images respectively of the complex numbers $1, \mathrm{j}$ and $\mathrm{j}^{2}$ in the plane.
    What is the nature of triangle PQR? Justify the answer.

Part B
Let $a, b, c$ be three complex numbers satisfying the equality $a + \mathrm{j}b + \mathrm{j}^{2}c = 0$. Let $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}, \mathrm{C}$ denote the images respectively of the numbers $a, b, c$ in the plane.
  1. Using question A-3.b., prove the equality: $a - c = \mathrm{j}(c - b)$.
  2. Deduce that $\mathrm{AC} = \mathrm{BC}$.
  3. Prove the equality: $a - b = \mathrm{j}^{2}(b - c)$.
  4. Deduce that triangle ABC is equilateral.
Q4b 5 marks Number Theory Quadratic Diophantine Equations and Perfect Squares View
Exercise 4 — Candidates who have chosen the specialty course
An integer $N$ is said to be a triangular number if there exists a natural number $n$ such that: $N = 1 + 2 + \ldots + n$.
For example, 10 is a triangular number because $10 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4$. The purpose of this problem is to determine triangular numbers that are perfect squares. Recall that, for every non-zero natural number $n$, we have:
$$1 + 2 + \ldots + n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}$$
Part A: triangular numbers and perfect squares
  1. Show that 36 is a triangular number, and that it is also the square of an integer.
  2. a. Show that the number $1 + 2 + \ldots + n$ is the square of an integer if and only if there exists a natural number $p$ such that: $n^{2} + n - 2p^{2} = 0$. b. Deduce that the number $1 + 2 + \ldots + n$ is the square of an integer if and only if there exists a natural number $p$ such that: $(2n + 1)^{2} - 8p^{2} = 1$.

Part B: study of the associated Diophantine equation
Consider (E) the Diophantine equation
$$x^{2} - 8y^{2} = 1$$
where $x$ and $y$ denote two integers.
