(b) state the coordinates of P.
(1)

解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
把二次项和一次项先提出 2,再完成平方。注意题目形式是 a(x+b)2+c,所以最后括号中会是 x−3,也就是 b=−3。

2x2−12x+14====2(x2−6x)+142((x−3)2−9)+142(x−3)2−18+142(x−3)2−4.
Therefore
a=2,b=−3,c=−4.
(b)

思路
展开
完成平方形式 2(x−3)2−4 直接给出顶点。因为 2>0,这个顶点是最低点。

From part (a),
f(x)=2(x−3)2−4.
The minimum occurs when
x=3.
Then
y=−4.
Therefore
P=(3,−4).
(c)

思路
展开
直线 l 经过 (−1,28) 和 P(3,−4)。先用两点求斜率,再代入一点求方程。

The gradient of l is
m===−1−328−(−4)−432−8.
Using (−1,28),
y−28=y−28=y=−8(x+1)−8x−8−8x+20.

思路
展开
区域 R 在 y 轴右侧、x 轴上方、直线下方,并且在曲线上方。把这些边界分别写成不等式即可。

The region is to the right of the y-axis:
x≥0.
It is above the x-axis:
y≥0.
It is below the line l:
y≤−8x+20.
It is above the curve C:
y≥2x2−12x+14.
Therefore the region R is defined by
xyyy≥0,≥0,≤−8x+20,≥2x2−12x+14.
