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。

Sketch on , with vertical asymptotes , and the line , which has intercept and slope .
The left branch of the tangent graph lies above the line, and the right branch lies below it. On the central branch there is one intersection at a positive . To verify the comparison, put . On each branch, , with strict increase over every nontrivial interval. On the left branch its limiting value at is , and on the right branch its limiting value at is . On the central branch increases from to . Thus the sketch has exactly one intersection in the stated interval.
