Problem
Figure 3 shows a sketch of a line l and a quadratic curve C.
Figure 3
Given that l passes through (−3,0) and (2,18),
(a) find an equation for l in the form y=mx+c, where m and c are constants.
(3)
Given that
- C and l intersect at the points (−3,0) and (2,18)
- C crosses the y-axis at (0,−6)
(b) find an equation for C.

The gradient of l is
m==2−(−3)18−0518.
So
y=518x+c.
Use the point (−3,0):
0=c=518(−3)+c554.
Therefore
y=518x+554.

二次曲线经过 (0,−6),所以常数项是 −6。设
y=ax2+bx−6.
再代入另外两个点求 a,b。

Let the equation of C be
y=ax2+bx−6.
Using (−3,0):
0=9a−3b=9a−3b−66.
Using (2,18):
18=4a+2b=4a+2b−624.
Simplify the two equations:
3a−b=2a+b=2,12.
Add them:
5a=a=14514.
Then
2a+b=2(514)+b=b=1212532.
Therefore
y=514x2+532x−6.
(c)

思路

阴影区域在 y 轴左侧,所以 x≤0。在这段区域中,直线在上方,二次曲线在下方,所以 y 夹在两者之间。

The region is to the left of the y-axis, so
x≤0.
It lies above the curve C and below the line l. Therefore
514x2+532x−6y≤y≤518x+554.
So R is defined by
514x2+532x−6x≤y≤518x+554,≤0.
