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。

The denominator factors as
The numerator is nonzero at both roots, so the vertical asymptotes are and .
The numerator and denominator have the same degree, so the horizontal asymptote is .

The quotient rule gives
Thus stationary points have or , both in the domain. Substituting into the curve gives
Hence the stationary points are

The numerator satisfies
so there are no -intercepts. At , , giving the only axis intersection .
Sketch the three branches with asymptotes , and :
- For , the curve is positive. It approaches from below as , decreases to the minimum , then increases through to as .
- For , it is negative, tending to at both ends and having a maximum at .
- For , it decreases from to from above.
These directions follow from the sign of in (b).

For the absolute-value graph, reflect the branch with in the -axis. Keep the other two branches unchanged.
The middle branch now has minimum and tends to at both vertical asymptotes. The left minimum remains and the horizontal asymptote remains .
If , the line meets the middle branch twice, the left branch once and the right branch once, giving four distinct real solutions.
For the middle branch gives no intersections, while the outer branches give at most two in total. For the middle branch contributes only its minimum, so there are three intersections. Therefore the required set is
