在极小点导数为零。用乘积法则求导后,先把指数函数单独移到一边,再取对数得到指定形式。

For y=xe2x−5x,
dxdy=e2x+2xe2x−5.
At x=α, the derivative is zero, so
(1+2α)e2α=e2α=5,1+2α5.
Taking logarithms,
2α=ln(1+2α5),
hence
α=21ln(1+2α5).

把驻点条件写成连续函数的零点条件,计算区间两端的符号变化。

Let g(x)=(1+2x)e2x−5, which is continuous. Then
g(0.4)=g(0.5)=1.8e0.8−5=−0.994026…<0,2e−5=0.436563…>0.
Therefore there is a zero between 0.4 and 0.5. Also
g′(x)=4(1+x)e2x>0(0.4≤x≤0.5),
so this zero is unique there. Hence 0.4<α<0.5.

采用(a)给出的迭代式。计算时保留内部精度,表中列到四位小数;继续到数值稳定于同一个两位小数结果。

Use
αn+1=21ln(1+2αn5),α0=0.4.
Keeping unrounded values in the calculation gives:
| n | αn to 4 decimal places |
|---|
| 0 | 0.4000 |
| 1 | 0.5108 |
| 2 | 0.4528 |
| 3 | 0.4823 |
| 4 | 0.4671 |
| 5 | 0.4749 |
| 6 | 0.4709 |
| 7 | 0.4729 |
| 8 | 0.4719 |
| 9 | 0.4724 |
| 10 | 0.4721 |
The values converge to a number which rounds to 0.47. Therefore
α=0.47 to 2 decimal places.
