Problem
The points P and Q, as shown in Figure 2, have coordinates (−2,13) and (4,−5) respectively.
Figure 2
The straight line l passes through P and Q.
(a) Find an equation for l, writing your answer in the form y=mx+c, where m and c are integers to be found.
(3)
The quadratic curve C passes through P and has a minimum point at Q.
(b) Find an equation for C.
(3)
The region R, shown shaded in Figure 2, lies in the second quadrant and is bounded by C and l only.
(c) Use inequalities to define region R.

m===4−(−2)−5−136−18−3.
Use P(−2,13):
y−13=y=−3(x+2)−3x+7.
(b)

最低点是 Q(4,−5),所以曲线可写成 y=a(x−4)2−5。再代入 P(−2,13) 求 a。
答题过程
展开
Since the minimum point is (4,−5),
y=a(x−4)2−5.
The curve passes through P(−2,13):
13=18=a=a(−2−4)2−536a21.
Therefore
y=21(x−4)2−5.

区域在第二象限、在直线上方、在抛物线下方,并且位于左侧交点 P 的左边。

The region is above the line:
y>−3x+7.
It is below the curve:
y<21(x−4)2−5.
It lies to the left of P, so
x<−2.
Thus
yyx>−3x+7,<21(x−4)2−5,<−2.
