先把 x31458 写成 1458x−23,再求导。驻点满足 dxdy=0。

Rewrite the curve as
y=21x2+1458x−23−74.
Differentiate:
dxdy==x+1458(−23)x−25x−2187x−25.
At a stationary point,
dxdy=0.
So
x−2187x−25=x=x27=02187x−252187.
Since
2187=37,
we have
x=(37)72=32=9.
Therefore, the x coordinate of P is 9.
还可将已经求出的 x=9 代入导数作检查:
y′(9)=9−95/22187=9−2432187=0.

区域在曲线和水平线 l 之间。先求 P 的 y 坐标,也就是直线 l 的高度,再计算从 x=4 到 x=9 的「曲线面积减矩形面积」。
答题过程

At P, x=9.
So
yP====21(9)2+931458−74281+271458−74281+54−74241.
Thus the line l has equation
y=241.
The required area is
∫49(21x2+1458x−23−74−241)dx.
Simplify the integrand:
21x2+1458x−23−2189.
Therefore,
Area==∫49(21x2+1458x−23−2189)dx[61x3−2916x−21−2189x]49.
Substitute the limits:
Area===(61(9)3−2916(9)−21−2189(9))−(61(4)3−2916(4)−21−2189(4))(6729−972−21701)−(664−1458−378)3373.
Therefore, the exact area of R is
3373.

先积分曲线在 x=4 到 x=9 下方的面积,再减去高度为 241、宽为 5 的矩形。
答题过程
展开
At x=9,
yP=281+54−74=241.
Hence the line l is y=241.
Integrating the curve gives
AC==∫49(21x2+1458x−3/2−74)dx[61x3−2916x−1/2−74x]49.
Evaluate the endpoints separately:
F(9)=F(4)=AC=6729−972−666=−23033,664−1458−296=−35230,F(9)−F(4)=61361.
The rectangle has area
(9−4)×241=2205.
Therefore
AR==61361−22053373.
