The problem presents two exercises related to geometry and vector calculus. Problem 1 asks to construct a figure based on three focal points and several intermediate points, prove collinearity and parallelism, demonstrate that a certain pair constitutes a reference frame, justify equalities involving vectors, and find a parametric and Cartesian representation of a set of points. Problem 2 refers to a plane equipped with an orthonormal coordinate system. Several points are given, and it requests to define a circle and some lines.

1. Problem Description

The problem presents two exercises related to geometry and vector calculus.
Problem 1 asks to construct a figure based on three focal points and several intermediate points, prove collinearity and parallelism, demonstrate that a certain pair constitutes a reference frame, justify equalities involving vectors, and find a parametric and Cartesian representation of a set of points.
Problem 2 refers to a plane equipped with an orthonormal coordinate system. Several points are given, and it requests to define a circle and some lines.

2. Solution Steps

Problem 1:

1. Figure construction:

Plot the three points A, B, and C.
Al = (2/3)AB, so place point l such that Al is 2/3 of the vector AB.
AJ = (2/3)CA, so place point J such that AJ is 2/3 of vector CA.
K is the midpoint of [IJ], so place K halfway between I and J.
A' is the midpoint of [BC], so place A' halfway between B and C.
B' is the midpoint of [AC], so place B' halfway between A and C.
C' is the midpoint of [AB], so place C' halfway between A and B.

2. a) Proving that (IJ) and (BC) are parallel.

Since I and J are defined based on AB and AC segments, it is possible to demonstrate by Thales' Theorem that (IJ) and (BC) are parallel.
Al = (2/3) AB and AJ = (2/3) AC imply that (IJ) is parallel to (BC).

3. b) Proving A, A', and K are aligned

This question requests to prove that the three points are on the same line.

4. a) Proving (G; GA, GC) is a reference frame of the plane

Given GA + GB + GC = 0, and G is defined by its coordinates, it is possible to demonstrate that (G; GA, GC) forms a basis for the plane.

5. b) Finding the coordinates of A and A' in the (G; GA, GC) reference frame.

A(1;0); A'(-1/2; -1/2)

6. a) Justifying that u = 3MG and v = 2A'A

u = MA + MB + MC = 3MG
v = 2A'A

7. b) Showing (Δ) is the line (AA'), then derive a parametric representation of (Δ)

(Δ) is defined such as u = tv. Thus it is possible to give a parametric representation for (Δ)

8. c) Finding the set (Γ) and deducing its Cartesian equation

Since (Γ) is defined such as ||u|| = ||v||, then it is possible to find the Cartesian equation.
Problem 2:
This problem focuses on geometry in a plane with an orthonormal coordinate system.
The points A, B, C, D, and E are given.
