已知最高点是 (−2,12),所以用顶点式最方便:f(x)=12−a(x+2)2。再用截距 (−5,0) 求 a。

Since the maximum turning point is (−2,12), write
f(x)=12−a(x+2)2.
Use the point (−5,0):
0=0=a=12−a(−5+2)212−9a34.
Therefore
f(x)=12−34(x+2)2.

二次曲线关于 x=−2 对称。既然一个根是 −5,另一个根应是 1,因为 −5 和 1 的中点是 −2。

The axis of symmetry is
x=−2.
Since one root is x=−5, the other root is x=1.
So
f(x)=a(x+5)(x−1).
Use the maximum point (−2,12):
12=12=a=a(−2+5)(−2−1)a(3)(−3)−34.
Therefore
f(x)=−34(x−1)(x+5).

l1 的斜率是 54,所以垂线 l2 的斜率是负倒数 −45。再代入点 (−5,0) 求截距。

The gradient of l1 is 54, so the gradient of l2 is
−45.
Using the point (−5,0),
y−0=y=−45(x+5)−45x−425.

Using
f(x)=−34x2−316x+320,
the region R is defined by
yyy≥54x,≥−45x−425,≤−34x2−316x+320.
