解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
先积分一次,用驻点处一阶导数为零求积分常数。

Integrating gives . At the derivative is zero, so and .
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
再积分一次,并用驻点的纵坐标确定新的积分常数。
答题过程
展开
Integrating gives . Since when , we have , so . The curve is .
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
从一阶导数找另一个零点,用二阶导数判断性质。
答题过程
展开
Solving gives , so the other stationary point is at . Its height is . Since there, is a local maximum.

也可用一阶导数在驻点两侧的符号判断。若由正变负,曲线先增后减,该驻点就是极大值点。
答题过程
展开
From (a), the derivative is . It is positive for and negative for , so it changes from positive to negative at . From (b), the corresponding height is . Thus is a local maximum.
(d)
