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
先找线段中点,再取 斜率的负倒数。
答题过程

The midpoint is and the gradient of is . The perpendicular bisector therefore has equation
or .
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
从圆心 到 的距离就是半径。用两坐标差的平方和求半径平方。
答题过程
展开
The squared radius is . Thus the circle is .
解法二
思路
展开
用圆的一般式。圆心先确定一次项系数,再由经过的点求常数项。

Write the circle as . Its centre is , so and . Since lies on it,
which gives . Thus the circle has equation
