解答

(a)

We want

8sinx15cosx=Rsin(xα)8\sin x-15\cos x=R\sin(x-\alpha)

Using

sin(xα)=sinxcosαcosxsinα\sin(x-\alpha)=\sin x\cos\alpha-\cos x\sin\alpha

we get

Rsin(xα)=RcosαsinxRsinαcosxR\sin(x-\alpha) =R\cos\alpha\sin x-R\sin\alpha\cos x

Compare coefficients with

8sinx15cosx8\sin x-15\cos x

So

Rcosα=8R\cos\alpha=8

and

Rsinα=15R\sin\alpha=15

Therefore

R=82+152=17R=\sqrt{8^2+15^2}=17

Also,

tanα=158\tan\alpha=\frac{15}{8}

Hence

α=tan1158=1.0808\alpha=\tan^{-1}\frac{15}{8}=1.0808\ldots

So

8sinx15cosx=17sin(xα)\boxed{8\sin x-15\cos x=17\sin(x-\alpha)}

where

R=17,α=1.081\boxed{R=17,\qquad \alpha=1.081}

to 4 significant figures.

(b)(i)

The denominator of f(x)f(x) is

41+16sinx30cosx41+16\sin x-30\cos x

This can be written as

41+2(8sinx15cosx)41+2(8\sin x-15\cos x)

Using part (a),

41+16sinx30cosx=41+34sin(xα)41+16\sin x-30\cos x =41+34\sin(x-\alpha)

The minimum value of f(x)f(x) occurs when the denominator is as large as possible.

Since

sin(xα)1\sin(x-\alpha)\le1

the maximum denominator is

41+34=7541+34=75

Therefore

fmin=1575=15f_{\min}=\frac{15}{75}=\frac15

So the minimum value is

15\boxed{\frac15}

(b)(ii)

The minimum occurs when

sin(xα)=1\sin(x-\alpha)=1

So the smallest positive value satisfies

xα=π2x-\alpha=\frac{\pi}{2}

Thus

x=π2+αx=\frac{\pi}{2}+\alpha

Using

α=1.0808\alpha=1.0808\ldots

we get

x=2.6516x=2.6516\ldots

Therefore

x=2.65\boxed{x=2.65}

to 3 significant figures.

(c)

For

y=2f(x)5y=2f(x)-5

the minimum yy value occurs when f(x)f(x) is minimum.

Since

fmin=15f_{\min}=\frac15

we get

ymin=2(15)5y_{\min}=2\left(\frac15\right)-5

So

y=235\boxed{y=-\frac{23}{5}}

(d)

For

y=f(2x)y=-f(2x)

a maximum occurs when f(2x)f(2x) is minimum.

From part (b), the smallest input giving the minimum of ff is

2.65162.6516\ldots

So

2x=2.65162x=2.6516\ldots

and hence

x=1.3258x=1.3258\ldots

Therefore the smallest value of xx is

1.33\boxed{1.33}

to 3 significant figures.
