Exercise 2 — 5 points Theme: geometry in space Space is equipped with an orthonormal coordinate system $(O; \vec{\imath}, \vec{\jmath}, \vec{k})$. We consider:
- $d_1$ the line passing through point $H(2; 3; 0)$ with direction vector $\vec{u}\left(\begin{array}{c}1\\-1\\1\end{array}\right)$;
- $d_2$ the line with parametric representation:
$$\left\{\begin{aligned}
x &= 2k - 3\\
y &= k\\
z &= 5
\end{aligned}\quad\text{where }k\text{ describes }\mathbb{R}.\right.$$ The purpose of this exercise is to determine a parametric representation of a line $\Delta$ that is perpendicular to both lines $d_1$ and $d_2$.
- a. Determine a direction vector $\vec{v}$ of line $d_2$. b. Prove that lines $d_1$ and $d_2$ are not parallel. c. Prove that lines $d_1$ and $d_2$ are not intersecting. d. What is the relative position of lines $d_1$ and $d_2$?
- a. Verify that the vector $\vec{w}\left(\begin{array}{c}-1\\2\\3\end{array}\right)$ is orthogonal to both $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{v}$. b. We consider the plane $P$ passing through point $H$ and directed by vectors $\vec{u}$ and $\vec{w}$. We admit that a Cartesian equation of this plane is: $$5x + 4y - z - 22 = 0.$$ Prove that the intersection of plane $P$ and line $d_2$ is the point $M(3; 3; 5)$.
- Let $\Delta$ be the line with direction vector $\vec{w}$ passing through point $M$.
A parametric representation of $\Delta$ is therefore given by: $$\left\{\begin{array}{l}
x = -r + 3\\
y = 2r + 3\\
z = 3r + 5
\end{array}\text{ where }r\text{ describes }\mathbb{R}.\right.$$ a. Justify that lines $\Delta$ and $d_1$ are perpendicular at a point $L$ whose coordinates you will determine. b. Explain why line $\Delta$ is a solution to the problem posed.
