解答
(a)

交点的 x 坐标来自两条曲线的 y 值相等。题目强调用代数,所以要把分式方程化成二次方程并因式分解,不能只从图上读。

At the points of intersection,
x−610x=10x==2x2−10x−72=x2−5x−36=(x+4)(x−9)=2x+12(2x+12)(x−6)2x2−72000
Therefore
x=−4orx=9

思路

把不等式移到一边,通分后用临界点分区间。注意分母 x−6 会改变符号,所以不能直接两边乘以 x−6 后忘记讨论符号。

Consider
2x+12−x−610x>x−6(2x+12)(x−6)−10x>x−62x2−72−10x>x−62(x+4)(x−9)>0000
The critical values are
x=−4,x=6,x=9
The sign of each factor gives the following table:
xx+4x−9x−6x−62(x+4)(x−9)(−∞,−4)−−−−(−4,6)+−−+(6,9)+−+−(9,∞)++++
The zeros are excluded because the inequality is strict, and x=6 is outside the domain. Hence
−4<x<6orx>9
(b)(ii)
解法一
思路
展开
两个函数都取绝对值,所以交界点来自
2x+12=x−610x 和
2x+12=−x−610x。找出四个临界值后,用数轴分区间判断。

The first pair of boundary points comes from part (a):
x=−4,x=9
The other pair of boundary points is found by solving
−(2x+12)=(−2x−12)(x−6)=−2x2+72=x2+5x−36=x−610x10x10x0
So
(x+9)(x−4)=x=0−9, 4
The four zeros of the difference of the absolute values are −9,−4,4,9, and x=6 is excluded from the domain. Set
F(x)=∣2x+12∣−x−610x
Testing one value in each interval gives
xtest valueF(x)(−∞,−9)−10+(−9,−4)−5−(−4,4)0+(4,6)5−(6,9)7−(9,∞)10+
Therefore
x<−9,−4<x<4,x>9

思路

两边都是非负数,可以平方而不改变不等式。再乘以严格为正的 (x−6)2,便得到四个一次因子的乘积,可以直接判断符号。
答题过程
展开
For x=6, both sides are non-negative, so squaring preserves the inequality:
(2x+12)2>(x−6)2100x2
Since (x−6)2>0, this is equivalent to
4(x+6)2(x−6)2−100x2>(x2−36)2−25x2>(x2−5x−36)(x2+5x−36)>(x+4)(x−9)(x+9)(x−4)>0000
Each root is simple, so the sign alternates across the four roots:
xproduct(−∞,−9)+(−9,−4)−(−4,4)+(4,9)−(9,∞)+
Thus
x<−9or−4<x<4orx>9
None of these intervals contains the excluded value x=6.
