原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
请回答所有题目。适当时应使用计算器。必须清楚展示所有必要的计算过程;仅给出计算器答案而没有过程,不予评分。除非题目另有精度要求,非精确数值答案保留 3 位有效数字,以度为单位的角度保留 1 位小数。
解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
分母有两个实零点且分子在两处都非零,因此有两条竖直渐近线。分子分母最高次项系数相同,水平渐近线为1。

The denominator is . The numerator equals at and at , so no factors cancel. Therefore the vertical asymptotes are
The ratio of the leading coefficients is , so the horizontal asymptote is .
(b)

By the quotient rule,
Thus the stationary points satisfy
The corresponding values are
Therefore, to decimal place, the stationary points are

Since
the curve crosses the horizontal asymptote at . The numerator of is always positive because its discriminant is , so there are no -intercepts.
Sketch three branches, labelling , , :
- On , the branch approaches from below as , has a minimum near , crosses and tends to as .
- On , the branch is negative, tends to at both ends and has a maximum near .
- On , the branch decreases from to from above.
