(a)

直线的 y 轴截距是 −12,所以 c=−12。它还经过 (4,0),可以用两个截距求斜率。
答题过程
展开
The line passes through (0,−12) and (4,0), so its gradient is
m===4−00−(−12)4123.
Since the y-intercept is −12,
y=3x−12.

二次函数的对称轴经过最低点,所以对称轴是 x=7。两个 x 轴截距关于 x=7 对称。已知其中一个是 x=4,另一个到 7 的距离也应为 3。
答题过程
展开
The minimum point is (7,−18), so the axis of symmetry is
x=7.
The two roots are symmetric about x=7. Since one root is x=4,
7−4=3.
Therefore the other root is
k=7+3=10.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
已知两个根是 4 和 10,可以写成 f(x)=A(x−4)(x−10)。再把最低点 (7,−18) 代入求 A。
答题过程
展开
Since the roots are 4 and 10,
f(x)=A(x−4)(x−10).
Use the point (7,−18):
−18=−18=−18=A=A(7−4)(7−10)A(3)(−3)−9A2.
Therefore
f(x)=2(x−4)(x−10).
解法二
思路
展开
最低点是 (7,−18),所以也可以从完成平方形式开始:f(x)=a(x−7)2−18。再代入一个 x 轴截距求 a。
答题过程
展开
Since the minimum point is (7,−18), write
f(x)=a(x−7)2−18.
Use the root x=4:
0=0=a=a(4−7)2−189a−182.
Therefore
f(x)=2(x−7)2−18.
This is equivalent to
f(x)=2(x−4)(x−10).

阴影区域在 y 轴右侧、x=4 左侧,也就是 0<x<4。从图像看,它在直线之上、二次曲线之下。
答题过程
展开
The region is to the right of the y-axis and to the left of x=4, so
0<x<4.
It is above the line and below the curve, so
3x−12<y<2(x−4)(x−10).
Therefore the region R is defined by
0<x<4,3x−12<y<2(x−4)(x−10).
