解答
(a)
解法一
思路
展开
交点处两个 y 相等。因为有 x29,先乘以 x2,把它化成关于 x2 的二次方程。
答题过程
展开
At the intersections,
x2+3=13−x29.
Multiply by x2:
x4+3x2=x4−10x2+9=13x2−90.
Factorise as a quadratic in x2:
(x2−1)(x2−9)=0.
So
x2=1orx2=9.
Since x>0,
x=1orx=3.
Therefore, the x coordinates of P and Q are 1 and 3.
解法二
思路
展开
不必先乘出四次式,可以把两个含 x 的倒数项直接配成两个因式,再用 x>0 求根。
答题过程
展开
At an intersection,
x2+3=x2−10+x29=13−x290.
Factorising directly,
(x−x9)(x−x1)=0.
Thus either
x−x9=x2=x=093,
or
x−x1=x2=x=011.
The negative square roots are excluded since x>0. Hence xP=1 and xQ=3.
解法三
思路
展开
先消去 x2 得到关于 y 的二次方程,求两个交点的高度,再代回 x2=y−3。
答题过程
展开
From C1, x2=y−3. Substitute this into C2:
y=13−y−39.
Since x>0, y−3=x2>0, so multiplying through is valid:
y(y−3)=y2−16y+48=(y−4)(y−12)=13(y−3)−900.
For y=4, x2=1, hence x=1.
For y=12, x2=9, hence x=3.
Therefore xP=1 and xQ=3.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
在 1<x<3 上,上方曲线是 C2,下方曲线是 C1。面积是上减下的积分。
答题过程
展开
Between the intersections, C2 is above C1 (for example, at x=2 their heights are 43/4 and 7). Thus the area is
∫13(13−x29−(x2+3))dx.
Simplify:
13−x29−(x2+3)=10−9x−2−x2.
So
Area=====∫13(10−9x−2−x2)dx[10x+9x−1−3x3]1324−(19−31)24−356316.
Therefore, the exact area of R is
316.
也可以分别积分两条曲线后相减:
A2==A1==A=[13x+x9]13(39+3)−(13+9)=20[3x3+3x]1318−310=344A2−A1=316.
