题目

Problem

In this question you must show all stages of your working.

Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.

Figure 2 shows a sketch of the curve CC with parametric equations

x=2cos2ty=sin3tπ2<t<π2x=2\cos 2t\qquad y=\sin^3 t\qquad -\frac{\pi}{2}<t<\frac{\pi}{2}

where tt is a parameter.

The point PP lies on CC where t=π6t=\dfrac{\pi}{6}.

The line ll, shown in Figure 2, is the tangent to CC at PP.

(a) Use parametric differentiation to show that

(i) dydx=ksint\dfrac{dy}{dx}=k\sin t where kk is a constant to be found

(ii) an equation for ll is 3x+16y5=03x+16y-5=0

(6)

The line ll intersects the curve CC again at the point QQ.

(b) Using algebra and showing detailed reasoning, find the exact coordinates of QQ.

本题必须写出全部解题步骤。

不接受完全依赖计算器技术的解法。

图 2 给出了曲线 CC 的草图,其参数方程为

x=2cos2ty=sin3tπ2<t<π2x=2\cos 2t\qquad y=\sin^3 t\qquad -\frac{\pi}{2}<t<\frac{\pi}{2}

其中 tt 为参数。

PP 在曲线 CC 上,且 t=π6t=\dfrac{\pi}{6}

图 2 中的直线 ll 是曲线 CC 在点 PP 处的切线。

(a) 用参数求导证明:

(i) dydx=ksint\dfrac{dy}{dx}=k\sin t,其中 kk 是待求常数;

(ii) 直线 ll 的一个方程为 3x+16y5=03x+16y-5=0

直线 ll 再次与曲线 CC 交于点 QQ

(b) 用代数方法并写出详细推理,求点 QQ 的精确坐标。

解答

(a)(i)

We are given

x=2cos2t,y=sin3tx=2\cos 2t,\qquad y=\sin^3t

Differentiate with respect to tt:

dxdt=4sin2t\frac{dx}{dt}=-4\sin2t

and

dydt=3sin2tcost\frac{dy}{dt}=3\sin^2t\cos t

Therefore

dydx=dydtdxdt=3sin2tcost4sin2t\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{\frac{dy}{dt}}{\frac{dx}{dt}} =\frac{3\sin^2t\cos t}{-4\sin2t}

Using

sin2t=2sintcost\sin2t=2\sin t\cos t

we get

dydx=3sin2tcost8sintcost\frac{dy}{dx} =\frac{3\sin^2t\cos t}{-8\sin t\cos t}

Hence

dydx=38sint\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac38\sin t

So

k=38\boxed{k=-\frac38}

(a)(ii)

At PP,

t=π6t=\frac{\pi}{6}

So

x=2cosπ3=1x=2\cos\frac{\pi}{3}=1

and

y=sin3π6=(12)3=18y=\sin^3\frac{\pi}{6} =\left(\frac12\right)^3 =\frac18

Therefore

P=(1,18)P=\left(1,\frac18\right)

The gradient of the tangent at PP is

dydx=38sinπ6=3812=316\frac{dy}{dx} =-\frac38\sin\frac{\pi}{6} =-\frac38\cdot\frac12 =-\frac{3}{16}

Using the point-gradient form,

y18=316(x1)y-\frac18=-\frac{3}{16}(x-1)

Multiply by 1616:

16y2=3x+316y-2=-3x+3

Hence

3x+16y5=0\boxed{3x+16y-5=0}

as required.

(b)

At an intersection of the line ll and the curve CC,

3x+16y5=03x+16y-5=0

Substitute

x=2cos2t,y=sin3tx=2\cos2t,\qquad y=\sin^3t

to get

3(2cos2t)+16sin3t5=03(2\cos2t)+16\sin^3t-5=0

So

6cos2t+16sin3t5=06\cos2t+16\sin^3t-5=0

Use

cos2t=12sin2t\cos2t=1-2\sin^2t

Then

6(12sin2t)+16sin3t5=06(1-2\sin^2t)+16\sin^3t-5=0

So

16sin3t12sin2t+1=016\sin^3t-12\sin^2t+1=0

Let

u=sintu=\sin t

Then

16u312u2+1=016u^3-12u^2+1=0

Since PP corresponds to u=12u=\dfrac12, factor out 2u12u-1:

16u312u2+1=(2u1)(8u22u1)16u^3-12u^2+1=(2u-1)(8u^2-2u-1)

Now

8u22u1=(4u+1)(2u1)8u^2-2u-1=(4u+1)(2u-1)

Therefore

16u312u2+1=(2u1)2(4u+1)16u^3-12u^2+1=(2u-1)^2(4u+1)

For the second intersection QQ,

4u+1=04u+1=0

so

sint=14\sin t=-\frac14

Now

y=sin3t=(14)3=164y=\sin^3t=\left(-\frac14\right)^3=-\frac{1}{64}

Also,

cos2t=12sin2t=12(116)=78\cos2t=1-2\sin^2t =1-2\left(\frac{1}{16}\right) =\frac78

Thus

x=2cos2t=278=74x=2\cos2t=2\cdot\frac78=\frac74

Therefore

Q=(74,164)\boxed{Q=\left(\frac74,-\frac{1}{64}\right)}
