Here are the solutions for question N-5.

Given points: A(1,3)A(1, 3), B(−2,1)B(-2, 1), C(5,−3)C(5, -3).

1) Donner les composantes des vecteurs AB⃗\vec{AB}, AC⃗\vec{AC} et BC⃗\vec{BC}.

  1. Calculate the components of vector AB⃗\vec{AB}.

    AB⃗=(xB−xA,yB−yA)=(−2−1,1−3)=(−3,−2)\vec{AB} = (x_B - x_A, y_B - y_A) = (-2 - 1, 1 - 3) = (-3, -2)
  2. Calculate the components of vector AC⃗\vec{AC}.

    AC⃗=(xC−xA,yC−yA)=(5−1,−3−3)=(4,−6)\vec{AC} = (x_C - x_A, y_C - y_A) = (5 - 1, -3 - 3) = (4, -6)
  3. Calculate the components of vector BC⃗\vec{BC}.

    BC⃗=(xC−xB,yC−yB)=(5−(−2),−3−1)=(5+2,−4)=(7,−4)\vec{BC} = (x_C - x_B, y_C - y_B) = (5 - (-2), -3 - 1) = (5 + 2, -4) = (7, -4)

    The components of the vectors are:

    AB⃗=(−3,−2)\boxed{\vec{AB} = (-3, -2)} AC⃗=(4,−6)\boxed{\vec{AC} = (4, -6)} BC⃗=(7,−4)\boxed{\vec{BC} = (7, -4)}

    2) Montrer que le triangle ABC est rectangle en A et déterminer le centre et le rayon du cercle (C) circonscrit au triangle ABC.

  4. Show that triangle ABC is right-angled at A.

    To show that the triangle is right-angled at A, we calculate the dot product of vectors AB⃗\vec{AB} and AC⃗\vec{AC}. If the dot product is zero, the vectors are orthogonal, and the angle at A is 90∘90^\circ.

    AB⃗⋅AC⃗=(−3)(4)+(−2)(−6)\vec{AB} \cdot \vec{AC} = (-3)(4) + (-2)(-6) AB⃗⋅AC⃗=−12+12\vec{AB} \cdot \vec{AC} = -12 + 12 AB⃗⋅AC⃗=0\vec{AB} \cdot \vec{AC} = 0

    Since the dot product is 0, the vectors AB⃗\vec{AB} and AC⃗\vec{AC} are orthogonal. Therefore, triangle ABC is right-angled at A.

  5. Determine the center of the circumscribed circle.

    For a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse is the diameter of the circumscribed circle. The center of the circumscribed circle is the midpoint of the hypotenuse. In this case, BC is the hypotenuse.
    Let MM be the center of the circle.

    M=(xB+xC2,yB+yC2)M = \left(\frac{x_B + x_C}{2}, \frac{y_B + y_C}{2}\right) M=(−2+52,1+(−3)2)M = \left(\frac{-2 + 5}{2}, \frac{1 + (-3)}{2}\right) M=(32,−22)M = \left(\frac{3}{2}, \frac{-2}{2}\right) M=(32,−1)M = \left(\frac{3}{2}, -1\right)

    The center of the circumscribed circle is M(32,−1)\boxed{M\left(\frac{3}{2}, -1\right)}.

  6. Determine the radius of the circumscribed circle.

    The radius RR is half the length of the hypotenuse BC.
    First, calculate the length of BC⃗\vec{BC}:

    ∣BC⃗∣=(xC−xB)2+(yC−yB)2=72+(−4)2|\vec{BC}| = \sqrt{(x_C - x_B)^2 + (y_C - y_B)^2} = \sqrt{7^2 + (-4)^2} ∣BC⃗∣=49+16=65|\vec{BC}| = \sqrt{49 + 16} = \sqrt{65}

    Now, calculate the radius:

    R=12∣BC⃗∣=652R = \frac{1}{2} |\vec{BC}| = \frac{\sqrt{65}}{2}

    The radius of the circumscribed circle is R=652\boxed{R = \frac{\sqrt{65}}{2}}.

    3) Trouver les coordonnées du point S tel que AS⃗=34AB⃗+43BC⃗\vec{AS} = \frac{3}{4}\vec{AB} + \frac{4}{3}\vec{BC}.

  7. Calculate the vector 34AB⃗\frac{3}{4}\vec{AB}.

    We found AB⃗=(−3,−2)\vec{AB} = (-3, -2).

    34AB⃗=34(−3,−2)=(−94,−64)=(−94,−32)\frac{3}{4}\vec{AB} = \frac{3}{4}(-3, -2) = \left(-\frac{9}{4}, -\frac{6}{4}\right) = \left(-\frac{9}{4}, -\frac{3}{2}\right)
  8. Calculate the vector 43BC⃗\frac{4}{3}\vec{BC}.

    We found BC⃗=(7,−4)\vec{BC} = (7, -4).

    43BC⃗=43(7,−4)=(283,−163)\frac{4}{3}\vec{BC} = \frac{4}{3}(7, -4) = \left(\frac{28}{3}, -\frac{16}{3}\right)
  9. Calculate the sum 34AB⃗+43BC⃗\frac{3}{4}\vec{AB} + \frac{4}{3}\vec{BC}.

    AS⃗=(−94+283,−32−163)\vec{AS} = \left(-\frac{9}{4} + \frac{28}{3}, -\frac{3}{2} - \frac{16}{3}\right)

    For the x-component:

    −94+283=−9×312+28×412=−27+11212=8512-\frac{9}{4} + \frac{28}{3} = \frac{-9 \times 3}{12} + \frac{28 \times 4}{12} = \frac{-27 + 112}{12} = \frac{85}{12}

    For the y-component:

    −32−163=−3×36−16×26=−9−326=−416-\frac{3}{2} - \frac{16}{3} = \frac{-3 \times 3}{6} - \frac{16 \times 2}{6} = \frac{-9 - 32}{6} = -\frac{41}{6}

    So, AS⃗=(8512,−416)\vec{AS} = \left(\frac{85}{12}, -\frac{41}{6}\right).

  10. Find the coordinates of point S.

    Let S(xS,yS)S(x_S, y_S). We know A(1,3)A(1, 3).

    AS⃗=(xS−xA,yS−yA)=(xS−1,yS−3)\vec{AS} = (x_S - x_A, y_S - y_A) = (x_S - 1, y_S - 3)

    Equating the components of AS⃗\vec{AS}:

    xS−1=8512x_S - 1 = \frac{85}{12} xS=1+8512=1212+8512=9712x_S = 1 + \frac{85}{12} = \frac{12}{12} + \frac{85}{12} = \frac{97}{12} yS−3=−416y_S - 3 = -\frac{41}{6} yS=3−416=186−416=−236y_S = 3 - \frac{41}{6} = \frac{18}{6} - \frac{41}{6} = -\frac{23}{6}

    The coordinates of point S are S(9712,−236)\boxed{S\left(\frac{97}{12}, -\frac{23}{6}\right)}.
