用参数方程分别求 dx/dθ\mathrm{d}x/\mathrm{d}\theta 与 dy/dθ\mathrm{d}y/\mathrm{d}\theta,得到切线斜率,再取负倒数求法线斜率。随后使用点斜式并整理到题目给定形式。

答题过程

展开

For P=(5cos⁡θ,4sin⁡θ)P=(5\cos\theta,4\sin\theta),

dxdθ=−5sin⁡θ,dydθ=4cos⁡θ.\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}\theta}=-5\sin\theta, \qquad \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}\theta}=4\cos\theta.

Thus the gradient of the tangent is

dydx=4cos⁡θ−5sin⁡θ.\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} =\frac{4\cos\theta}{-5\sin\theta}.

Since 0<θ<π20<\theta<\frac\pi2, both sin⁡θ\sin\theta and cos⁡θ\cos\theta are non-zero. Therefore the gradient of the normal is

mN=5sin⁡θ4cos⁡θ.m_N=\frac{5\sin\theta}{4\cos\theta}.

The normal through PP has equation

y−4sin⁡θ=5sin⁡θ4cos⁡θ(x−5cos⁡θ).y-4\sin\theta =\frac{5\sin\theta}{4\cos\theta} (x-5\cos\theta).

Multiplying by 4cos⁡θ4\cos\theta and rearranging,

4ycos⁡θ−16sin⁡θcos⁡θ= 5xsin⁡θ−25sin⁡θcos⁡θ,5xsin⁡θ−4ycos⁡θ= 9sin⁡θcos⁡θ.\begin{align*} 4y\cos\theta-16\sin\theta\cos\theta =&\,5x\sin\theta-25\sin\theta\cos\theta,\\[4mm] 5x\sin\theta-4y\cos\theta =&\,9\sin\theta\cos\theta. \end{align*}

Hence

5xsin⁡θ−4ycos⁡θ=9sin⁡θcos⁡θ.\boxed{5x\sin\theta-4y\cos\theta =9\sin\theta\cos\theta}.

直接对椭圆方程隐式求导,代入 PP 的参数坐标,得到切线斜率。取负倒数后写出法线,再整理为目标式。

答题过程

Differentiating x2/25+y2/16=1x^2/25+y^2/16=1 implicitly,

2x25+2y16dydx=0.\frac{2x}{25}+\frac{2y}{16}\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=0.

At P=(5cos⁡θ,4sin⁡θ)P=(5\cos\theta,4\sin\theta),

dydx=−16x25y=−4cos⁡θ5sin⁡θ.\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} =-\frac{16x}{25y} =-\frac{4\cos\theta}{5\sin\theta}.

Since 0<θ<π/20<\theta<\pi/2, the normal gradient is 5sin⁡θ/(4cos⁡θ)5\sin\theta/(4\cos\theta). Thus the normal is

y−4sin⁡θ=5sin⁡θ4cos⁡θ(x−5cos⁡θ).y-4\sin\theta=\frac{5\sin\theta}{4\cos\theta}(x-5\cos\theta).

Multiplying out gives

4ycos⁡θ−16sin⁡θcos⁡θ=5xsin⁡θ−25sin⁡θcos⁡θ.4y\cos\theta-16\sin\theta\cos\theta =5x\sin\theta-25\sin\theta\cos\theta.

Hence 5xsin⁡θ−4ycos⁡θ=9sin⁡θcos⁡θ\boxed{5x\sin\theta-4y\cos\theta=9\sin\theta\cos\theta}.

椭圆的半长轴为 a=5a=5、半短轴为 b=4b=4。焦距满足 c2=a2−b2c^2=a^2-b^2,正 xx 轴上的焦点即为 (c,0)(c,0)。

答题过程

展开

For the ellipse,

a=5,b=4.a=5, \qquad b=4.

Hence the focal distance is

c=a2−b2=25−16=3.c=\sqrt{a^2-b^2} =\sqrt{25-16}=3.

Therefore the focus on the positive xx-axis is

F=(3,0).\boxed{F=(3,0)}.

Also, the eccentricity is

e=ca=35.e=\frac ca=\frac35.

(c)

解法一

思路

展开

先在 (a) 的法线方程中令 y=0y=0 求出 QQ。然后分别求 QFQF 和 PFPF;计算 PFPF 时利用 sin⁡2θ=1−cos⁡2θ\sin^2\theta=1-\cos^2\theta,所得二次式恰为完全平方。给定角度范围可确定长度表达式的正号。

答题过程

展开

At QQ, y=0y=0. Using the equation from part (a),

5xsin⁡θ=9sin⁡θcos⁡θ.5x\sin\theta=9\sin\theta\cos\theta.

Since sin⁡θ>0\sin\theta>0,

x=95cos⁡θ,x=\frac95\cos\theta,

so

Q=(95cos⁡θ,0).Q=\big(\frac95\cos\theta,0\big).

As 0<cos⁡θ<10<\cos\theta<1,

QF=3−95cos⁡θ=35(5−3cos⁡θ).QF=3-\frac95\cos\theta =\frac35(5-3\cos\theta).

Also,

PF2= (5cos⁡θ−3)2+(4sin⁡θ)2= 25cos⁡2θ−30cos⁡θ+9 +16(1−cos⁡2θ)= 9cos⁡2θ−30cos⁡θ+25= (5−3cos⁡θ)2.\begin{align*} PF^2 =&\,(5\cos\theta-3)^2+(4\sin\theta)^2\\[4mm] =&\,25\cos^2\theta-30\cos\theta+9\\[4mm] &\,\hspace{2pt}+16(1-\cos^2\theta)\\[4mm] =&\,9\cos^2\theta-30\cos\theta+25\\[4mm] =&\,(5-3\cos\theta)^2. \end{align*}

Since 5−3cos⁡θ>05-3\cos\theta>0,

PF=5−3cos⁡θ.PF=5-3\cos\theta.

Therefore

QFPF=35(5−3cos⁡θ)5−3cos⁡θ=35=e.\frac{QF}{PF} =\frac{\frac35(5-3\cos\theta)} {5-3\cos\theta} =\frac35=e.

Hence

QFPF=e.\boxed{\frac{QF}{PF}=e}.

解法二

思路

展开

利用椭圆的焦点—准线定义求 PFPF,可避免展开距离的平方。正焦点对应的准线为 x=a/ex=a/e,而 (a) 已能给出 QQ 的横坐标。分别写出两段长度后,比例立即约成 ee。

From part (b), e=3/5e=3/5. The directrix corresponding to F=(3,0)F=(3,0) is

x=ae=53/5=253.x=\frac ae=\frac{5}{3/5}=\frac{25}{3}.

Let MM be the perpendicular projection of PP onto this directrix. Since 0<cos⁡θ<10<\cos\theta<1,

PM=253−5cos⁡θ>0.PM=\frac{25}{3}-5\cos\theta>0.

By the focus–directrix property,

PF=ePM=35(253−5cos⁡θ)=5−3cos⁡θ.PF=ePM=\frac35\bigg(\frac{25}{3}-5\cos\theta\bigg) =5-3\cos\theta.

Putting y=0y=0 in the normal equation and using sin⁡θ>0\sin\theta>0 gives Q=(9cos⁡θ/5,0)Q=(9\cos\theta/5,0). Hence

QF=3−95cos⁡θ=35(5−3cos⁡θ).QF=3-\frac95\cos\theta=\frac35(5-3\cos\theta).

Both lengths are positive, so

QFPF=35(5−3cos⁡θ)5−3cos⁡θ=35=e.\boxed{\frac{QF}{PF} =\frac{\frac35(5-3\cos\theta)}{5-3\cos\theta} =\frac35=e}.
