思路
展开
y=−4cosx 的最小值是 −4,发生在 cosx=1 的位置。图中 P 是左边那个最低点,所以对应 x=−2π。
答题过程
展开
For y=−4cosx, a minimum occurs when cosx=1.
On the left of the origin shown in the diagram, this occurs at
x=−2π.
Therefore
P=(−2π,−4).

Q 是右边的 x 轴截点。令 −4cosx=0,即 cosx=0,图中对应的是 x=23π。
答题过程
展开
At an x-axis intersection,
−4cosx=cosx=00.
For the point Q shown,
x=23π.
Therefore
Q=(23π,0).

−4cosx 的最大值是 4。整体向上平移 k 后,最大值变成 4+k。
答题过程
展开
The maximum value of −4cosx is 4.
So the maximum value of −4cosx+k is
4+k.
Given that the maximum value is 11,
4+k=k=117.
(b)(ii)

思路

C2 是把 C1 向上平移 7。最小值从 −4 变成 3,最小正 x 坐标的最低点在 x=2π。
答题过程
展开
The minimum value of C2 is
−4+7=3.
The minimum point with the smallest positive x coordinate occurs at
x=2π.
Therefore the point is
(2π,3).

方程
−4cosx=5−π10x
表示曲线 y=−4cosx 与直线 y=5−π10x 的交点。数交点个数即可。

Draw the line
y=5−π10x
on Diagram 1.
This line has negative gradient and passes through (0,5).
It intersects the curve y=−4cosx once.
Therefore the equation has
1
solution.
