Exercise 4 — Candidates who have not followed the specialization courseIn space, we consider a tetrahedron ABCD whose faces ABC, ACD and ABD are right-angled and isosceles triangles at A. We denote by E, F and G the midpoints of sides $[\mathrm{AB}]$, $[\mathrm{BC}]$ and $[\mathrm{CA}]$ respectively. We choose AB as the unit of length and we place ourselves in the orthonormal coordinate system $(\mathrm{A}; \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AB}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AC}}, \overrightarrow{\mathrm{AD}})$ of space.
- We denote by $\mathscr { P }$ the plane that passes through A and is perpendicular to the line $(\mathrm{DF})$. We denote by H the point of intersection of plane $\mathscr { P }$ and line (DF). a. Give the coordinates of points D and F. b. Give a parametric representation of line (DF). c. Determine a Cartesian equation of plane $\mathscr { P }$. d. Calculate the coordinates of point H. e. Prove that the angle $\widehat{\mathrm{EHG}}$ is a right angle.
- We denote by $M$ a point on line (DF) and by $t$ the real number such that $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{DM}} = t \overrightarrow{\mathrm{DF}}$. We denote by $\alpha$ the measure in radians of the geometric angle $\widehat{\mathrm{EMG}}$. The purpose of this question is to determine the position of point $M$ so that $\alpha$ is maximum. a. Prove that $ME^{2} = \frac{3}{2} t^{2} - \frac{5}{2} t + \frac{5}{4}$. b. Prove that triangle $M\mathrm{EG}$ is isosceles at $M$. Deduce that $ME \sin\left(\frac{\alpha}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$. c. Justify that $\alpha$ is maximum if and only if $\sin\left(\frac{\alpha}{2}\right)$ is maximum. Deduce that $\alpha$ is maximum if and only if $ME^{2}$ is minimum. d. Conclude.
