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。
解答
(a)
解法一
思路

绝对值把直线在横轴下方的部分向上反射,顶点由 2x+1=0 确定。

The graph is V-shaped:
y={−2x−1,2x+1,x<−21,x≥−21.
Its vertex is (−1/2,0), its y-intercept is (0,1), and its branches have gradients −2 and 2.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
按 2x+1 的正负分段,每段解出不等式后,还要检查是否满足分段范围。
答题过程

If x<−1/2, then ∣2x+1∣=−2x−1, so
3x+5<−2x−1⟹x<−56.
This lies in the case x<−1/2.
If x≥−1/2, then ∣2x+1∣=2x+1, so
3x+5<2x+1⟹x<−4.
This is incompatible with x≥−1/2.
Therefore x<−6/5.
解法二
思路
展开
若 3x+5 为负,不等式自动成立;其余部分可以平方。这样不会因盲目平方而遗漏负数范围。
答题过程

For x<−5/3, 3x+5<0≤∣2x+1∣, so the inequality holds.
For x≥−5/3, both sides are non-negative, so
(3x+5)2<(2x+1)2.
Hence
5x2+26x+24<(x+4)(5x+6)<0,0.
This gives −4<x<−6/5. Intersecting with x≥−5/3 gives −5/3≤x<−6/5.
Combining the two cases, x<−6/5.
