解答
解法一
思路
展开
对参数分别求导,相除后约去公共因子。在给定点 x=e 便有 tant=1,不必列出所有参数值。
答题过程
展开
Since x=etant=e at the required point, tant=1.
Differentiating,
dtdx=dtdy=etantsec2t,6tantsec2t.
Therefore
dxdy=etantsec2t6tantsec2t=etant6tant.
At (e,3), the gradient is 6/e. The tangent is
y−3=e6(x−e),
or
y=e6x−3.

思路
展开
先消去参数,得到对数平方的显式函数,再求导求切线。
答题过程
展开
From x=etant, we have tant=lnx. Hence
y=3(lnx)2,x>0.
Differentiating,
dxdy=x6lnx.
At x=e, the gradient is 6/e. Thus
y−3=e6(x−e)⟹y=e6x−3.
