z4<8
giving the answer in simplest form.
(2)
(ii)
Figure 1 shows a plot of
- the line with equation y=x+5
- the curve with equation y=x(x−3)
On the opposite page there is a copy of Figure 1 labelled Diagram 1.
On Diagram 1 represent the following inequality graphically.
x+5⩽y⩽x(x−3)for x⩾−2

题目中文翻译
(i) 求满足
z4<8
的 z 的取值范围,并把答案写成最简形式。
(ii) 图 1 显示了下列图像:
- 直线 y=x+5
- 曲线 y=x(x−3)
在对页有一份标为图表 1 的图 1 副本。
在图表 1 上用图像表示下列不等式:
x+5⩽y⩽x(x−3)且 x⩾−2.
解答
(i)

思路
展开
含有 z1 的不等式不能直接乘 z,因为 z 可能为正也可能为负。分成 z>0 和 z<0 两种情况最稳。
答题过程
展开
Consider two cases.
If z>0, then multiplying by z does not change the inequality:
z44z<8<8z>21
If z<0, then
z4
is negative, so it is always less than 8.
Therefore
z<0orz>21

要表示的是夹在直线 y=x+5 和抛物线 y=x(x−3) 之间,并且满足 x⩾−2 的区域。边界都是实线,因为不等号包含等号。

The required region satisfies
y⩾x+5
and
y⩽x(x−3)
with
x⩾−2
So draw the vertical boundary line
x=−2
as a solid line, and shade the region above the line, below the curve, and to the right of x=−2.
