Problem
Figure 4 shows a sketch of part of the curve C1 with equation
y=3cos(nx),x≥0,
Figure 4
where n is a constant.
The curve C1 cuts the positive x-axis for the first time at point P(270,0), as shown in Figure 4.
(a) (i) State the value of n
(ii) State the period of C1
(2)
The point Q, shown in Figure 4, is a minimum point of C1.
(b) State the coordinates of Q.
(2)
The curve C2 has equation y=2sinx+k, where k is a constant.
The point R(a,512) and the point S(−a,−53) both lie on C2.
Given that a is a constant less than 90,
(c) find the value of k.

解答
(a)

思路
展开
cosu 第一次等于 0 时是 u=90∘。题目说第一次正 x 截距是 x=270,所以令 nx=90∘。
答题过程
展开
For
y=3cos(nx),
the first positive x-intercept occurs when
nx=90∘.
Since this happens at x=270,
n270=n=903.
The period is
360n=360(3)=1080.
Therefore
n=3,period=1080.

当 n=3 时,曲线是 y=3cos(3x)。最小值为 −3。图中标出的 Q 是后面的那个最低点,对应 x=1620。
答题过程
展开
The minimum value of 3cos(3x) is −3.
The minimum point shown on the graph is at
x=1620.
Therefore
Q=(1620,−3).

两个点都在 y=2sinx+k 上。利用 sin(−a)=−sina,把两个点分别代入后相加,可以直接消去 sina,求出 k。
答题过程

Since R(a,512) lies on C2,
2sina+k=512.
Since S(−a,−53) lies on C2,
2sin(−a)+k=−53.
Using sin(−a)=−sina,
−2sina+k=−53.
Add the two equations:
(2sina+k)+(−2sina+k)=2k=k=512−5359109.
