Solution

The image contains exercises involving geometry and sequences. Here’s the breakdown of what I see in the tasks and how to approach them:


EXERCICE 1

This is a geometry exercise dealing with points in a plane and circles.

  1. Description of points A(4,3)A(4,3) and B(8,6)B(8,6):

    • The exercise asks to analyze these points and derive properties in the plane.
  2. Task a:

    • Prove that CC, defined as (x,y)(x,y) satisfying AM=ANAM = AN, lies on a specific circle.
  3. Task b:

    • Show that CC is on a circle with center H(2,4)H(2,4) and radius R=5R = \sqrt{5}.
  4. Task c:

    • Derive the equation of a line DD tangent to the circle CC at HH.
  5. Task d:

    • Find the coordinates of two points where line DD intersects the circle.

EXERCICE 2

This exercise deals with numerical sequences and their properties.

  1. Task a:

    • Demonstrate the given sequence UnU_n by induction.
  2. Task b:

    • Verify the recurrence relation Un+1=UnUn2U_{n+1} = \frac{U_n}{U_n - 2}.
  3. Task c:

    • Study the monotonicity of UnU_n.
  4. Task d:

    • Deduce properties about the sequence.

Suggestions for Solving

For clarity, I’ll briefly outline solutions and methods for some of these tasks.

EXERCICE 1

  • (a) To show CC satisfies the circle equation:

    • Use the condition AM=ANAM = AN, which represents the locus of all points equidistant from AA and BB, forming the perpendicular bisector of ABAB. This bisector is the circle.
  • (b) Confirm that H(2,4)H(2,4) is the center and R=5R = \sqrt{5} by computing the distance using the equation derived in (a).

  • (c) The tangent line equation can be determined using the slope perpendicular to the radius at point HH.

  • (d) Solve for intersection points of the tangent and circle equations.

EXERCICE 2

  • (a) Use mathematical induction to verify the formula for UnU_n.

  • (b) Substitute Un+1=UnUn2U_{n+1} = \frac{U_n}{U_n - 2} into the recurrence relation and simplify to confirm consistency.

  • (c) Study monotonicity by analyzing the derivative or comparing successive terms UnU_n and Un+1U_{n+1}.
