1. **Problem statement:** We consider a rectangle OABE in an oriented plane with OA = 2 and angle between vectors \(\overrightarrow{OA}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OB}\) equal to \(\frac{\pi}{3}\). The circle (C) has diameter [OB] and center W. The similitude S has center O, ratio \(\sqrt{3}\), and angle \(\frac{\pi}{3}\).
### A-
1) Let \(A'\) be on the ray [OB) such that \(OA' = 2\sqrt{3}\). Prove \(A'\) is image of A under S.
- Since S is a direct similitude with center O, ratio \(\sqrt{3}\), and angle \(\frac{\pi}{3}\), the image of A is given by:
$$OA' = \sqrt{3} \times OA = \sqrt{3} \times 2 = 2\sqrt{3}$$
- The angle between \(\overrightarrow{OA}\) and \(\overrightarrow{OA'}\) is \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) by definition of S.
- Since \(A'\) lies on [OB) and satisfies these conditions, \(A' = S(A)\).
2a) Verify triangle OAW is equilateral.
- W is center of circle with diameter [OB], so W is midpoint of OB.
- Length \(OB = \sqrt{OA^2 + AB^2}\). Since OABE is rectangle, \(AB = OE = 2\sqrt{3}\) (from given z_E = 2\sqrt{3}i).
- Calculate \(OB = \sqrt{2^2 + (2\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{4 + 12} = \sqrt{16} = 4\).
- W is midpoint of OB, so \(OW = WB = 2\).
- Triangle OAW has sides:
- \(OA = 2\)
- \(AW = ?\) (to be calculated)
- \(OW = 2\)
- Vector \(\overrightarrow{AW} = \overrightarrow{OW} - \overrightarrow{OA} = W - A\).
- Using complex affixes: \(z_A = 2\), \(z_B = 2 + 2\sqrt{3}i\), so \(z_W = \frac{z_O + z_B}{2} = \frac{0 + (2 + 2\sqrt{3}i)}{2} = 1 + \sqrt{3}i\).
- Length \(AW = |z_W - z_A| = |(1 + \sqrt{3}i) - 2| = | -1 + \sqrt{3}i| = \sqrt{(-1)^2 + (\sqrt{3})^2} = \sqrt{1 + 3} = 2\).
- All sides \(OA = OW = AW = 2\), so triangle OAW is equilateral.
2b) Determine image under S of triangle OAW.
- S multiplies lengths by \(\sqrt{3}\) and rotates by \(\frac{\pi}{3}\).
- Since O is center, image of O is O.
- Image of A is \(A'\) with \(OA' = 2\sqrt{3}\) and angle \(\frac{\pi}{3}\) from OA.
- Image of W is \(W' = S(W)\).
- Since triangle OAW is equilateral, its image is also equilateral with side lengths multiplied by \(\sqrt{3}\).
2c) Construct circle (C'), image of (C) under S.
- Circle (C) has center W and radius \(\frac{OB}{2} = 2\).
- Under S, center W maps to W', radius multiplies by \(\sqrt{3}\), so radius of (C') is \(2 \times \sqrt{3} = 2\sqrt{3}\).
- Thus, (C') is circle with center W' and radius \(2\sqrt{3}\).
### B-
1) Write complex form of S.
- S is direct similitude with center O, ratio \(\sqrt{3}\), angle \(\frac{\pi}{3}\).
- Complex form: \(z' = \sqrt{3} e^{i \pi/3} z = \sqrt{3} \left( \cos \frac{\pi}{3} + i \sin \frac{\pi}{3} \right) z = \sqrt{3} \left( \frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) z = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} z + i \frac{3}{2} z\).
2) Find affixes of W and W' = S(W).
- \(z_W = 1 + \sqrt{3} i\) (midpoint of OB).
- \(z_{W'} = S(z_W) = \sqrt{3} e^{i \pi/3} (1 + \sqrt{3} i)\).
- Calculate:
$$e^{i \pi/3} = \frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$$
$$z_{W'} = \sqrt{3} \left( \frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) (1 + \sqrt{3} i)$$
- Multiply inside:
$$(1 + \sqrt{3} i) \left( \frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) = \frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} i + i^2 \frac{3}{2} = \frac{1}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + i \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - \frac{3}{2}$$
$$= \left( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} \right) + i \left( \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} + \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \right) = -1 + i \sqrt{3}$$
- Then:
$$z_{W'} = \sqrt{3} (-1 + i \sqrt{3}) = -\sqrt{3} + 3 i$$
3a) Show \(f(z) = i z + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3}\) is a rotation, find angle and center H.
- A transformation \(f(z) = e^{i \theta} z + b\) is a rotation if \(|e^{i \theta}| = 1\).
- Here, \(e^{i \theta} = i = e^{i \pi/2}\), so angle \(\theta = \frac{\pi}{2}\).
- Center H satisfies:
$$f(H) = H \Rightarrow i H + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3} = H$$
$$i H - H = -4 - 2 i \sqrt{3}$$
$$(i - 1) H = -4 - 2 i \sqrt{3}$$
$$H = \frac{-4 - 2 i \sqrt{3}}{i - 1}$$
- Multiply numerator and denominator by conjugate \(1 + i\):
$$H = \frac{(-4 - 2 i \sqrt{3})(1 + i)}{(i - 1)(1 + i)}$$
- Denominator:
$$(i - 1)(1 + i) = i + i^2 - 1 - i = i - 1 - 1 - i = -2$$
- Numerator:
$$(-4)(1) + (-4)(i) + (-2 i \sqrt{3})(1) + (-2 i \sqrt{3})(i) = -4 - 4 i - 2 i \sqrt{3} - 2 i^2 \sqrt{3}$$
$$= -4 - 4 i - 2 i \sqrt{3} + 2 \sqrt{3}$$
$$= (-4 + 2 \sqrt{3}) + (-4 i - 2 i \sqrt{3})$$
- So:
$$H = \frac{(-4 + 2 \sqrt{3}) + i(-4 - 2 \sqrt{3})}{-2} = 2 - \sqrt{3} + i (2 + \sqrt{3})$$
3b) Verify \(f(W') = W\) and find \(f \circ S (W)\).
- \(f(W') = i z_{W'} + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3} = i (-\sqrt{3} + 3 i) + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3}\)
- Calculate:
$$i (-\sqrt{3}) + i (3 i) + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3} = - i \sqrt{3} + 3 i^2 + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3} = - i \sqrt{3} - 3 + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3}$$
$$= (4 - 3) + (- i \sqrt{3} + 2 i \sqrt{3}) = 1 + i \sqrt{3} = z_W$$
- So \(f(W') = W\).
- Then \(f \circ S (W) = f(W') = W\).
3c) Determine nature and characteristic elements of \(f \circ S\).
- \(f \circ S (z) = f(S(z)) = i (\sqrt{3} e^{i \pi/3} z) + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3} = \sqrt{3} i e^{i \pi/3} z + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3}\).
- Simplify rotation factor:
$$i e^{i \pi/3} = e^{i \pi/2} e^{i \pi/3} = e^{i (\pi/2 + \pi/3)} = e^{i (5\pi/6)}$$
- So:
$$f \circ S (z) = \sqrt{3} e^{i 5\pi/6} z + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3}$$
- This is a similitude with ratio \(\sqrt{3}\) and rotation angle \(\frac{5\pi}{6}\).
- The translation part means it is a rotation + homothety (direct similitude) with center to be found by solving:
$$f \circ S (H) = H$$
$$\sqrt{3} e^{i 5\pi/6} H + 4 + 2 i \sqrt{3} = H$$
$$(\sqrt{3} e^{i 5\pi/6} - 1) H = -4 - 2 i \sqrt{3}$$
- The nature is a direct similitude with center H, ratio \(\sqrt{3}\), and angle \(\frac{5\pi}{6}\).
**Final answers:**
- A' is image of A under S.
- Triangle OAW is equilateral.
- Image of OAW under S is equilateral with side lengths multiplied by \(\sqrt{3}\).
- Circle (C') has center W' and radius \(2 \sqrt{3}\).
- Complex form of S: \(z' = \sqrt{3} e^{i \pi/3} z\).
- \(z_W = 1 + \sqrt{3} i\), \(z_{W'} = -\sqrt{3} + 3 i\).
- \(f\) is rotation of angle \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) with center \(H = 2 - \sqrt{3} + i (2 + \sqrt{3})\).
- \(f(W') = W\), so \(f \circ S (W) = W\).
- \(f \circ S\) is direct similitude with ratio \(\sqrt{3}\), angle \(\frac{5\pi}{6}\), center H solving above equation.
