先把 21 提出来,让括号里出现 x2−20x。完成平方时,x2−20x=(x−10)2−100。
答题过程
展开
21x2−10x+22====21(x2−20x)+2221((x−10)2−100)+2221(x−10)2−50+2221(x−10)2−28.
So
a=21,b=−10,c=−28.

思路

完成平方形式 21(x−10)2−28 直接给出最低点。平方项最小时是 0,发生在 x=10。
答题过程

From
y=21(x−10)2−28,
the minimum occurs when
x=10.
Then
y=−28.
Therefore
M=(10,−28).

法线斜率是 −81,所以切线斜率是它的负倒数 8。曲线的切线斜率来自导函数,令导函数等于 8 就能求出点 P 的横坐标。

The gradient of the normal is
−81.
Therefore the gradient of the tangent is
8.
Differentiate the curve:
dxdy=x−10.
At P,
x−10=x=818.
Find the y coordinate:
y===21(18)2−10(18)+22162−180+224.
Thus
P=(18,4).
(c)(ii)

思路
展开
点 P 在法线上,所以把 P=(18,4) 代入 y=k−81x,即可求 k。
答题过程
展开
Since P=(18,4) lies on
y=k−81x,
we have
4=4=k=k−81(18)k−49425.

区域左边界是过最低点的竖直线 x=10。阴影区域在法线下方、曲线上方,所以用三个不等式描述:在竖线右侧、低于直线、高于曲线。
答题过程
展开
The vertical boundary through M is
x=10.
The region is to the right of this line, below the normal and above the curve. Therefore
xyy≥10,≤425−81x,≥21x2−10x+22.
