逐项求导即可,常数 k 求导后为 0。

dxdy==72(3x2)+71(2x)−2576x2+72x−25.
(b)

思路

先求曲线在 A 处的切线斜率,再取负倒数得到法线 l 的斜率。因为同一条直线 l 又是 B 处的切线,所以 B 处的导数等于这个斜率。

At A, x=−27. The gradient of the tangent to C is
dxdy====76(−27)2+72(−27)−2576⋅449−1−25221−277.
So the gradient of the normal l is
−71.
At B, the same line l is a tangent to C, so
76x2+72x−25=−71.
Multiply by 14:
12x2+4x−35=12x2+4x−33=−20.
This is the required equation.

解上一小题的二次方程。图中点 B 在正 x 方向,所以舍去负根。

Solve
12x2+4x−33=0.
Factorise:
12x2+4x−33=(2x−3)(6x+11).
So
x=23orx=−611.
From the sketch, B has a positive x coordinate, so
xB=23.
(d)

思路
展开
已知 l 的斜率是 −71,且 y 轴截距是 −1,所以可写出 l。
然后用 A 的 x 坐标在直线上求出 A 的 y 坐标,再代入曲线方程求 k。
答题过程
展开
The line l has gradient −71 and y-intercept −1.
So
y=−71x−1.
At A, x=−27, so
y===−71(−27)−121−1−21.
Thus A=(−27,−21). Substitute into the curve:
−21=72(−27)3+71(−27)2−25(−27)+k.
Simplify:
−21==−449+47+435+k−47+k.
Therefore
k=45.
