(a) 通过画出合适的两个函数图像的草图,证明方程
在区间 内只有一个根。
(b) 通过计算证明这个根位于 与 之间。
(c) 使用迭代公式 ,以 为初值,计算这个根,答案精确到小数点后 位。每次迭代的结果保留小数点后 位。
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。

左半段绝对值曲线递减而正弦曲线递增,因而只有一个交点。右半段要另作比较,排除第二个交点。

Sketch and for .
The modulus graph has vertex and tends to at the left endpoint. The sine curve increases from towards , with downward curvature.
On , strictly decreases and strictly increases. Their ordering reverses, so they intersect exactly once.
For , let
Since , decreases towards
Thus the sine curve stays above throughout this second interval. There is no further intersection, so the equation has .

| to 4 decimal places | |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1.0300 |
| 1 | 1.0149 |
| 2 | 1.0281 |
| 3 | 1.0166 |
| 4 | 1.0266 |
| 5 | 1.0179 |
| 6 | 1.0255 |
| 7 | 1.0189 |
| 8 | 1.0246 |
| 9 | 1.0196 |
| 10 | 1.0240 |
| 11 | 1.0202 |
| 12 | 1.0235 |
Thus the root is to 2 decimal places.
