Exercise 2

The sequence (U n ) is defined by its first term U 0 and by the relation 3U n 1  6  (U n  2 ) (U n  1) .


1- If the sequence (U n ) converges then its limit  is such that 3   6   2    2 ; that is
 2  4   4  0 ; (   2 ) 2  0 ; therefore   2 .
2- ▪ 3U 1  6  (U 0  2 ) (U 0  1) ; therefore , if U 0  2 or U 0  1 then U 1  2 .
▪ If , for a certain value of n  1 , U n  2 then , 3U n 1  6  (U n  2 ) (U n  1)  0 ; that is U n 1  2 .
Therefore for all n  1 , U n  2 .

3- ▪ 3U n 1  3U n U n2  4U n  4  (U n  2 ) 2 .
▪ For all n in IN U n 1  U n  0 therefore , (U n ) is increasing .

4- ▪ U 0    1 ; 2 
▪ If , for a certain value of n , U n    1 ; 2  then , U n  1  0 and U n  2  0 ; therefore
3U n 1  6  0 and U n 1  2 .
Therefore , for all n in IN , U n  2 .
On the other hand , the sequence (U n ) is increasing , then , for all n in IN , U n  U 0  1 .
Finally , for all n in IN , U n    1 ; 2  .
The sequence (U n ) is strictly increasing and bounded from above by 2 ; therefore it is convergent
and its limit , according to part 1 , is equal to 2 .
5- ▪ U 0  2 .
▪ If , for a certain value of n in IN , U n  2 then , U n  1  0 and U n  2  0 ; therefore
4U n 1  8  0 and U n 1  2 .
Therefore, for all n in IN , U n  2 .
Therefore the sequence (U n ) cannot converge to the eventual limit 2 ; then it is a divergent sequence .

x  2 y  4  0 and x  y  1 0 ; x  2 and y  1 . Finally , the invariant point of T is  ( 2 ; 1)
2- The complex relation of the dilation h  h (  ; 5 ) is z '  5 z  (1  5 ) z ; that is z'  5 z  8  4 i .

x  i y  (  i ) ( x  i y ) ; 2 ( x  2 y )  4 ( x  2 y ) i  0 ; that is x  2 y  0 .

z '  z is equivalent to OM  OM ' and z ' z  z  z is equivalent to  M   M ' then


the straight line (O ) , which is (d ) , is the perpendicular bisector of [MM ' ] .

These solutions are , in the order  a  2 ;  a  1 ;  a , 3 consecutive terms of an increasing
arithmetic sequence of common difference 1 .

x   a  1 and y  1  e  a 1 such that , , as a varies , they satisfy the relation y  1  e x .
Therefore, as a varies , the set of S is the curve of equation y  1  e x .

Therefore p( x )  0 for all x in IR , if and only if 1  e  a 1  0 .

The equation of (C ) can be written as x 2  xy  y 2  4 x  2 y  1  0 .
By substituting for x and y , the equation x 2  xy  y 2  4 x  2 y  1  0 becomes

( x ' y ' ) 2  ( x ' 2  y ' 2 )  ( x ' y ' ) 2  2 2 ( x ' y ' )  2 ( x ' y ' )  1  0 ;

2- a) The equation x 2  3 y 2  2 2 x  6 2 y  2  0 can be written as


(x  2 )2 ( y  2 )2
(x  2 )2  2  3 ( y  2 )2  6  2  0 ; (x  2 )2  3 ( y  2 )2  6 ;  1 .

Therefore (E ) is an ellipse .
For the ellipse (E ) , a  6 and b  2 ; the area of (E ) is S   a b units of area .
S   6  2  2 3  units of area ; that is S  8 3  cm 2 .
b) The rotation preserves the nature of a conic and (E ) is an ellipse then (C ) is also an ellipse .
The point I is the center of (C ) since (C ) is formed of two parts (C1 ) and (C 2 ) symmetric with
respect to I .

The rotation preserves areas then the area of (C ) is also equal to 8 3  cm 2 .


The area of (C ) is the area of the domain bounded by (C1 ) and (C 2 ) ; since (C1 ) is above (C 2 )

c) The focal axis of (E ) is the straight line ( ) of equation y  2 ; that of (C ) is the straight line
(d ) whose image by the rotation r is ( ) .

The complex relation of r is z '  e 4 z ; x 'i y '   i   x  i y  then y '  2 ( y  x )

Therefore an equation of (d ) is ( y  x )  2 which is y  x  2 .

For the ellipse (E ) , c  a 2  b 2  6  2  2 then F ' ( x '  2  2 ; y '  2 ) .
The point F such that r ( F )  F ' is a focus of (C ) .
2 2
The coordinates of F are x  ( x ' y ' )  2  2 and y  ( x ' y ' )  2 .
2 2
OR The rotation preserves the distances then IF  c  2 .
Therefore the foci of (C ) are the points on (d ) such that IF  2 ; that is
F ( x ; x  2 ) and IF 2  ( x  2 ) 2  ( x  2 ) 2  4 ; therefore ( x  2 ) 2  2 ; x  2  2 or x  2   2 .
The foci of (C ) are the points (  2  2 ; 2 ) and (  2  2 ;  2 )
