Exercise 4 (For candidates who have not followed the specialty course)
We consider a cube $ABCDEFGH$ with edge length 1. We denote $I$ the midpoint of segment $[EF]$, $J$ the midpoint of segment $[EH]$ and $K$ the point of segment $[AD]$ such that $\overrightarrow{AK} = \frac{1}{4}\overrightarrow{AD}$. We denote $\mathscr{P}$ the plane passing through $I$ and parallel to the plane $(FHK)$.
Part A
In this part, the constructions requested will be performed without justification on the figure given in the appendix.
  1. The plane $(FHK)$ intersects the line $(AE)$ at a point which we denote $M$. Construct the point $M$.
  2. Construct the cross-section of the cube by the plane $\mathscr{P}$.

Part B
In this part, we equip the space with the orthonormal coordinate system $(A; \overrightarrow{AB}, \overrightarrow{AD}, \overrightarrow{AE})$. We recall that $\mathscr{P}$ is the plane passing through $I$ and parallel to the plane $(FHK)$.
  1. a. Show that the vector $\vec{n}\left(\begin{array}{c} 4 \\ 4 \\ -3 \end{array}\right)$ is a normal vector to the plane $(FHK)$. b. Deduce that a Cartesian equation of the plane $(FHK)$ is: $4x + 4y - 3z - 1 = 0$. c. Determine an equation of the plane $\mathscr{P}$. d. Calculate the coordinates of the point $M'$, the point of intersection of the plane $\mathscr{P}$ and the line $(AE)$.
  2. We denote $\Delta$ the line passing through point $E$ and perpendicular to the plane $\mathscr{P}$. a. Determine a parametric representation of the line $\Delta$. b. Calculate the coordinates of point $L$, the intersection of line $\Delta$ and plane $(ABC)$. c. Draw the line $\Delta$ on the figure provided in the appendix. d. Are the lines $\Delta$ and $(BF)$ intersecting? What about the lines $\Delta$ and $(CG)$? Justify.
