Problem
Figure 2 shows a plot of part of the curve C1 with equation
y=5cosx
Figure 2
with x being measured in degrees.
The point P, shown in Figure 2, is a minimum point on C1.
(a) State the coordinates of P.
(2)
The point Q lies on a different curve C2.
Given that point Q
- is a maximum point on the curve
- is the maximum point with the smallest x coordinate, x>0
(b) find the coordinates of Q when
(i) C2 has equation y=5cosx−2
(ii) C2 has equation y=−5cosx.

5cosx 的最小值是 −5,发生在 x=180∘,540∘,…。图中标出的 P 是右侧那个最小点,所以取 x=540∘。

For y=5cosx, the minimum value is −5.
The minimum point shown has
x=540∘.
Therefore
P=(540∘,−5).

5cosx 的最大值是 5,所以 5cosx−2 的最大值是 3。最小正 x 的最大点在 x=360∘,因为题目要求 x>0。

For
y=5cosx−2,
the maximum value is
5−2=3.
The maximum point with the smallest positive x coordinate occurs at
x=360∘.
Therefore
Q=(360∘,3).

−5cosx 的最大值是 5,这发生在 cosx=−1 的位置。最小正解是 x=180∘。

For
y=−5cosx,
the maximum value is 5, when
cosx=−1.
The smallest positive value of x is
x=180∘.
Therefore
Q=(180∘,5).
