Problem
In this question you must show all stages of your working.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.
A curve has equation y=f(x), x>0.
The point P(4,12) lies on the curve.
Given that
- f′(x)=3x+kx2 where k is a constant
- the equation of the tangent to the curve at P has equation y=10x+c where c is a constant
(a) (i) show that k=41
(ii) find the value of c
(4)
(b) Hence find the value of f′′(x) at P.
(3)
(c) Find f(x).

切线 y=10x+c 的斜率是 10,所以 f′(4)=10。把 x=4 代入导函数即可推出 k。

Since the tangent has gradient 10,
f′(4)=10.
So
34+k(4)2=6+16k=16k=k=1010441.
This is the required result.

Using P(4,12) in y=10x+c,
12=c=10(4)+c−28.

由 (a) 知 k=41。先写出 f′(x),再微分得到 f′′(x),最后代入 x=4。
答题过程
展开
Using k=41,
f′(x)=3x1/2+41x2.
Differentiate:
f′′(x)=23x−1/2+21x.
At P, x=4, so
f′′(4)====23(4)−1/2+21(4)23⋅21+243+2411.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
对 f′(x) 积分得到 f(x),再用点 P(4,12) 求积分常数。
答题过程
展开
Since
f′(x)=3x1/2+41x2,
integrate:
f(x)==3⋅3/2x3/2+41⋅3x3+d2x3/2+121x3+d.
Use P(4,12):
12====2(4)3/2+121(4)3+d2(8)+1264+d16+316+d364+d.
So
d==12−364−328.
Therefore
f(x)=2x3/2+121x3−328.
