解答
(a)
We want
8sinx−15cosx=Rsin(x−α)
Using
sin(x−α)=sinxcosα−cosxsinα
we get
Rsin(x−α)=Rcosαsinx−Rsinαcosx
Compare coefficients with
8sinx−15cosx
So
Rcosα=8
and
Rsinα=15
Therefore
R=82+152=17
Also,
tanα=815
Hence
α=tan−1815=1.0808…
So
8sinx−15cosx=17sin(x−α)
where
R=17,α=1.081
to 4 significant figures.
(b)(i)
The denominator of f(x) is
41+16sinx−30cosx
This can be written as
41+2(8sinx−15cosx)
Using part (a),
41+16sinx−30cosx=41+34sin(x−α)
The minimum value of f(x) occurs when the denominator is as large as possible.
Since
sin(x−α)≤1
the maximum denominator is
41+34=75
Therefore
fmin=7515=51
So the minimum value is
51
(b)(ii)
The minimum occurs when
sin(x−α)=1
So the smallest positive value satisfies
x−α=2π
Thus
x=2π+α
Using
α=1.0808…
we get
x=2.6516…
Therefore
x=2.65
to 3 significant figures.
(c)
For
y=2f(x)−5
the minimum y value occurs when f(x) is minimum.
Since
fmin=51
we get
ymin=2(51)−5
So
y=−523
(d)
For
y=−f(2x)
a maximum occurs when f(2x) is minimum.
From part (b), the smallest input giving the minimum of f is
2.6516…
So
2x=2.6516…
and hence
x=1.3258…
Therefore the smallest value of x is
1.33
to 3 significant figures.
