Space is referred to the orthonormal frame $(\mathrm{O}, \vec{\imath}, \vec{\jmath}, \vec{k})$. We consider the plane $\mathscr{P}$ with equation $2x + y - 2z + 4 = 0$ and the points A with coordinates $(3; 2; 6)$, B with coordinates $(1; 2; 4)$, and C with coordinates $(4; -2; 5)$.
  1. a. Verify that the points A, B and C define a plane. b. Verify that this plane is the plane $\mathscr{P}$.
  2. a. Show that the triangle ABC is right-angled. b. Write a system of parametric equations for the line $\Delta$ passing through O and perpendicular to the plane $\mathscr{P}$. c. Let K be the orthogonal projection of O onto $\mathscr{P}$. Calculate the distance OK. d. Calculate the volume of the tetrahedron OABC.
  3. We consider, in this question, the system of weighted points $$S = \{(\mathrm{O}, 3), (\mathrm{A}, 1), (\mathrm{B}, 1), (\mathrm{C}, 1)\}$$ a. Verify that this system admits a centroid, which we denote G. b. Let I denote the centroid of the triangle ABC. Show that G belongs to (OI). c. Determine the distance from G to the plane $\mathscr{P}$.
  4. Let $\Gamma$ be the set of points $M$ in space satisfying: $$\|3\overrightarrow{M\mathrm{O}} + \overrightarrow{M\mathrm{A}} + \overrightarrow{M\mathrm{B}} + \overrightarrow{M\mathrm{C}}\| = 5.$$ Determine $\Gamma$. What is the nature of the set of points common to $\mathscr{P}$ and $\Gamma$?
