We denote by $\mathbb{C}$ the set of complex numbers. In the complex plane equipped with an orthonormal coordinate system $(O; \vec{u}, \vec{v})$ we have placed a point $M$ with affixe $z$ belonging to $\mathbb{C}$, then the point $R$ intersection of the circle with center $O$ passing through $M$ and the half-axis $[O; \vec{u})$.
Part A - Express the affixe of point $R$ as a function of $z$.
- Let the point $M'$ with affixe $z'$ defined by $$z' = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{z + |z|}{2}\right).$$ Reproduce the figure on the answer sheet and construct the point $M'$.
Part BWe define the sequence of complex numbers $(z_n)$ by a first term $z_0$ belonging to $\mathbb{C}$ and, for every natural integer $n$, by the recurrence relation: $$z_{n+1} = \frac{z_n + |z_n|}{4}$$ The purpose of this part is to study whether the behavior at infinity of the sequence $(|z_n|)$ depends on the choice of $z_0$.
- What can we say about the behavior at infinity of the sequence $(|z_n|)$ when $z_0$ is a negative real number?
- What can we say about the behavior at infinity of the sequence $(|z_n|)$ when $z_0$ is a positive real number?
- We now assume that $z_0$ is not a real number. a. What conjecture can we make about the behavior at infinity of the sequence $(|z_n|)$? b. Prove this conjecture, then conclude.
