Problem
(i) Solve, for 0<x≤π, the equation
5sinxtanx+13=cosx

(5)
(ii) The temperature inside a greenhouse is monitored on one particular day.
The temperature, H∘C, inside the greenhouse, t hours after midnight, is modelled by the equation
H=10+12sin(kt+18)∘0≤t<24
where k is a constant.
Use the equation of the model to answer parts (a) to (c).
Given that

- 0<k<20
(a) find all possible values for k, giving each answer to 2 decimal places.

把 tanx 写成 cosxsinx,再乘以 cosx。之后用 sin2x=1−cos2x 化成关于 cosx 的二次方程。
答题过程
展开
Since
tanx=cosxsinx,
we have
5sinx⋅cosxsinx+13=cosx.
Multiply by cosx:
5sin2x+13cosx=cos2x.
Using sin2x=1−cos2x,
5(1−cos2x)+13cosx=5−5cos2x+13cosx=6cos2x−13cosx−5=cos2xcos2x0.
Factorise:
(3cosx+1)(2cosx−5)=0.
So
cosx=−31orcosx=25.
Since cosx=25 is impossible,
cosx=−31.
For 0<x≤π,
x=1.9106….
Therefore,
x=1.91.

6 am 表示 t=6,代入 H=20。因为角度单位是 degrees,所以解 sin(6k+18)∘=65 时要用角度。
答题过程
展开
At 6 am, t=6 and H=20.
So
20=10=sin(6k+18)∘=10+12sin(6k+18)∘12sin(6k+18)∘65.
Now
sin−1(65)=56.442…∘.
Since 0<k<20,
18<6k+18<138.
Thus
6k+18=56.442…or6k+18=123.557….
So
k=k=656.442…−18=6.407…,6123.557…−18=17.592….
Therefore,
k=6.41ork=17.59.

sin 的最大值是 1,所以最高温度是 10+12。
答题过程
展开
The maximum value of sin(kt+18)∘ is 1.
So the maximum temperature is
10+12(1)=22.
Therefore, the maximum temperature is
22∘C.
(ii)(c)

现在额外给出 0<k<10,所以取 k=6.41…。最高温出现时,角度为 90∘。
答题过程
展开
Since 0<k<10,
k=6.407….
The maximum occurs when
kt+18=90.
So
6.407…t+18=6.407…t=t=907211.237….
This is about 11 hours and 14 minutes after midnight.
Therefore, the time is
11:14 am.
