y=kx+7,where k is a constant
intersect at exactly two points, P and Q.
Given that the x coordinate of point P is −4,

The transformation from
y=x6
to
y=x−26
is a translation 2 units to the right.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
点 P 同时在曲线和直线上。已知 x=−4,先从曲线求出 y,再代入直线求 k。
答题过程
展开
When x=−4 on the curve,
y===−4−26−66−1.
Since P also lies on the line y=kx+7,
−1=−8=k=k(−4)+7−4k2.

上一小题得到直线是 y=2x+7。把直线和曲线联立,解出两个交点的 x 坐标,其中一个是 −4,另一个就是点 Q 的 x 坐标。
答题过程
展开
Using k=2, the line is
y=2x+7.
At the intersections,
x−26=2x+7.
Multiply by x−2:
6===(x−2)(2x+7)2x2+7x−4x−142x2+3x−14.
So
2x2+3x−20=(2x−5)(x+4)=00.
Thus
x=25orx=−4.
The point P has x=−4, so point Q has
x=25.
Then
y==2(25)+712.
Therefore
Q=(25,12).
