解答

(a)

解法一:参数求导

思路

展开

把 xx 和 yy 都看成 θ\theta 的函数,分别对 θ\theta 求导,再用 dydx=dy/dθdx/dθ\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=\frac{\mathrm{d}y/\mathrm{d}\theta}{\mathrm{d}x/\mathrm{d}\theta} 求切线斜率。代入点斜式后,利用 sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ=1\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1 自然推出指定方程。

答题过程

展开

Since

x=4cos⁡θ,y=3sin⁡θ,x=4\cos\theta, \qquad y=3\sin\theta,

we have

dxdθ=−4sin⁡θ,dydθ=3cos⁡θ.\frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}\theta} =-4\sin\theta, \qquad \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}\theta} =3\cos\theta.

Therefore,

dydx=3cos⁡θ−4sin⁡θ=−3cos⁡θ4sin⁡θ.\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} =\frac{3\cos\theta}{-4\sin\theta} =-\frac{3\cos\theta}{4\sin\theta}.

Using the point-slope form of the tangent at PP,

y−3sin⁡θ=−3cos⁡θ4sin⁡θ(x−4cos⁡θ).y-3\sin\theta =-\frac{3\cos\theta}{4\sin\theta} \bigl(x-4\cos\theta\bigr).

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

4ysin⁡θ−12sin⁡2θ= −3xcos⁡θ+12cos⁡2θ,3xcos⁡θ+4ysin⁡θ= 12(sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ)= 12.\begin{align*} 4y\sin\theta-12\sin^2\theta =&\,-3x\cos\theta+12\cos^2\theta, \\ 3x\cos\theta+4y\sin\theta =&\,12\bigl(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta\bigr) \\ =&\,12. \end{align*}

Hence the tangent has equation

3xcos⁡θ+4ysin⁡θ=12.\boxed{3x\cos\theta+4y\sin\theta=12}.

When sin⁡θ=0\sin\theta=0, the tangent is vertical, and the boxed equation still gives the correct tangent x=4cos⁡θx=4\cos\theta.

解法二:隐式求导

思路

展开

直接对椭圆方程关于 xx 求导,再把点 PP 的坐标代入导数,得到用 θ\theta 表示的切线斜率。随后代入点斜式并化简到题目指定形式。

答题过程

展开

Differentiating the equation of the ellipse implicitly,

x8+2y9dydx=0.\frac{x}{8} +\frac{2y}{9}\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} =0.

Thus

dydx=−9x16y.\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} =-\frac{9x}{16y}.

At P(4cos⁡θ,3sin⁡θ)P(4\cos\theta,3\sin\theta),

dydx=−9(4cos⁡θ)16(3sin⁡θ)=−3cos⁡θ4sin⁡θ.\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} =-\frac{9(4\cos\theta)}{16(3\sin\theta)} =-\frac{3\cos\theta}{4\sin\theta}.

Therefore,

y−3sin⁡θ=−3cos⁡θ4sin⁡θ(x−4cos⁡θ).y-3\sin\theta =-\frac{3\cos\theta}{4\sin\theta} \bigl(x-4\cos\theta\bigr).

Multiplying by 4sin⁡θ4\sin\theta,

4ysin⁡θ−12sin⁡2θ= −3xcos⁡θ+12cos⁡2θ,3xcos⁡θ+4ysin⁡θ= 12(sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ)= 12.\begin{align*} 4y\sin\theta-12\sin^2\theta =&\,-3x\cos\theta+12\cos^2\theta, \\ 3x\cos\theta+4y\sin\theta =&\,12\bigl(\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta\bigr) \\ =&\,12. \end{align*}

Hence

3xcos⁡θ+4ysin⁡θ=12.\boxed{3x\cos\theta+4y\sin\theta=12}.

The same equation also covers the vertical-tangent cases where sin⁡θ=0\sin\theta=0.

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

法线斜率是切线斜率的负倒数。用点斜式写出经过 PP 的法线,再整理成不含分母的形式;所得方程也能涵盖水平或竖直法线的特殊位置。

答题过程

展开

The gradient of the normal is

mn=4sin⁡θ3cos⁡θ.m_{\mathrm n} =\frac{4\sin\theta}{3\cos\theta}.

Hence

y−3sin⁡θ=4sin⁡θ3cos⁡θ(x−4cos⁡θ).y-3\sin\theta =\frac{4\sin\theta}{3\cos\theta} \bigl(x-4\cos\theta\bigr).

Multiplying by 3cos⁡θ3\cos\theta,

3ycos⁡θ−9sin⁡θcos⁡θ= 4xsin⁡θ−16sin⁡θcos⁡θ,4xsin⁡θ−3ycos⁡θ= 7sin⁡θcos⁡θ.\begin{align*} 3y\cos\theta-9\sin\theta\cos\theta =&\,4x\sin\theta-16\sin\theta\cos\theta, \\ 4x\sin\theta-3y\cos\theta =&\,7\sin\theta\cos\theta. \end{align*}

Thus

4xsin⁡θ−3ycos⁡θ=7sin⁡θcos⁡θ.\boxed{ 4x\sin\theta-3y\cos\theta =7\sin\theta\cos\theta }.

(c)

解法一:使用正弦平方与余弦平方恒等式

思路

展开

分别令切线中的 y=0y=0、法线中的 x=0x=0,求出截点 AA、BB,继而写出中点坐标。为避免中点坐标与原椭圆坐标混淆,先记中点为 (X,Y)(X,Y);把 sin⁡θ\sin\theta 和 cos⁡θ\cos\theta 用 X,YX,Y 表示后,代入平方和恒等式消去参数。

答题过程

展开

For the tangent, setting y=0y=0 gives

3xcos⁡θ=12,3x\cos\theta=12,

so

A=(4sec⁡θ,0).A=\bigl(4\sec\theta,0\bigr).

For the normal, setting x=0x=0 gives

−3ycos⁡θ=7sin⁡θcos⁡θ,-3y\cos\theta =7\sin\theta\cos\theta,

so

B=(0,−73sin⁡θ).B=\biggl(0,-\frac73\sin\theta\biggr).

Let the midpoint of AA and BB be (X,Y)(X,Y). Then

X=2sec⁡θ,Y=−76sin⁡θ.X=2\sec\theta, \qquad Y=-\frac76\sin\theta.

Therefore,

cos⁡θ=2X,sin⁡θ=−6Y7.\cos\theta=\frac2X, \qquad \sin\theta=-\frac{6Y}{7}.

Using sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ=1\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1,

(−6Y7)2+(2X)2= 1,36Y249+4X2= 1,36X2Y2+196= 49X2,X2(49−36Y2)= 196.\begin{align*} \biggl(-\frac{6Y}{7}\biggr)^2 +\biggl(\frac2X\biggr)^2 =&\,1, \\ \frac{36Y^2}{49}+\frac4{X^2} =&\,1, \\ 36X^2Y^2+196 =&\,49X^2, \\ X^2(49-36Y^2) =&\,196. \end{align*}

Relabelling the midpoint coordinates as (x,y)(x,y), its locus is

x2(49−36y2)=196.\boxed{x^2(49-36y^2)=196}.

Hence

p=49,q=36,r=196.\boxed{p=49,\qquad q=36,\qquad r=196}.

解法二:使用正切与正割恒等式

思路

展开

仍先求出中点坐标,但这次把纵坐标改写成含 tan⁡θ\tan\theta 与 XX 的式子,再利用 1+tan⁡2θ=sec⁡2θ1+\tan^2\theta=\sec^2\theta 消去参数。

答题过程

展开

From the intercepts found above, the midpoint (X,Y)(X,Y) satisfies

X=2sec⁡θ,Y=−76sin⁡θ.X=2\sec\theta, \qquad Y=-\frac76\sin\theta.

Since sin⁡θ=tan⁡θ/sec⁡θ\sin\theta=\tan\theta/\sec\theta,

Y=−7tan⁡θ6sec⁡θ=−7tan⁡θ3X.Y =-\frac{7\tan\theta}{6\sec\theta} =-\frac{7\tan\theta}{3X}.

Thus

sec⁡θ=X2,tan⁡θ=−3XY7.\sec\theta=\frac X2, \qquad \tan\theta=-\frac{3XY}{7}.

Using 1+tan⁡2θ=sec⁡2θ1+\tan^2\theta=\sec^2\theta,

1+(−3XY7)2= (X2)2,1+9X2Y249= X24,196+36X2Y2= 49X2,X2(49−36Y2)= 196.\begin{align*} 1+\biggl(-\frac{3XY}{7}\biggr)^2 =&\,\biggl(\frac X2\biggr)^2, \\ 1+\frac{9X^2Y^2}{49} =&\,\frac{X^2}{4}, \\ 196+36X^2Y^2 =&\,49X^2, \\ X^2(49-36Y^2) =&\,196. \end{align*}

Therefore, writing the midpoint coordinates as (x,y)(x,y),

x2(49−36y2)=196,\boxed{x^2(49-36y^2)=196},

so

p=49,q=36,r=196.\boxed{p=49,\qquad q=36,\qquad r=196}.
