解法一

思路

展开

用 sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ=1\sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1。因为 θ\theta 在第三或第四象限,而 cos⁡θ>0\cos\theta>0,所以 θ\theta 在第四象限,sin⁡θ<0\sin\theta<0。

答题过程

展开

Using

sin⁡2θ+cos⁡2θ=1,\begin{align*} \sin^2\theta+\cos^2\theta=1, \end{align*}

and cos⁡θ=15\cos\theta=\frac1{\sqrt5},

sin⁡2θ+(15)2= 1sin⁡2θ= 1−15= 45.\begin{align*} \sin^2\theta+\bigg(\frac1{\sqrt5}\bigg)^2=&\,1\\ \sin^2\theta=&\,1-\frac15\\ =&\,\frac45. \end{align*}

Since 180∘<θ<360∘180^\circ<\theta<360^\circ and cos⁡θ>0\cos\theta>0, θ\theta is in the fourth quadrant. Hence sin⁡θ<0\sin\theta<0.

Therefore,

sin⁡θ= −25= −255.\begin{align*} \sin\theta=&\,-\frac2{\sqrt5}\\ =&\,-\frac{2\sqrt5}{5}. \end{align*}

解法二

思路

展开

把 cos⁡θ=15\cos\theta=\frac1{\sqrt5} 看成参考直角三角形中的邻边与斜边之比。先用 Pythagoras’ theorem 找 opposite,再根据象限决定 sin⁡θ\sin\theta 的正负。

答题过程

展开

For the reference triangle, take the adjacent side as 11 and the hypotenuse as 5\sqrt5.

By Pythagoras’ theorem, the opposite side has length

(5)2−12= 5−1= 2.\begin{align*} \sqrt{(\sqrt5)^2-1^2}=&\,\sqrt{5-1}\\ =&\,2. \end{align*}

Since 180∘<θ<360∘180^\circ<\theta<360^\circ and cos⁡θ>0\cos\theta>0, θ\theta is in the fourth quadrant.

Therefore sin⁡θ<0\sin\theta<0, so

sin⁡θ=−255.\begin{align*} \sin\theta=-\frac{2\sqrt5}{5}. \end{align*}

(i)(b)

解法一

思路

展开

用 tan⁡θ=sin⁡θcos⁡θ\tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta},直接代入上一小题结果。

答题过程

展开

Using

tan⁡θ=sin⁡θcos⁡θ,\begin{align*} \tan\theta=\frac{\sin\theta}{\cos\theta}, \end{align*}

we get

tan⁡θ= −255⋅5= −2⋅55= −2.\begin{align*} \tan\theta =&\,-\frac{2\sqrt5}{5}\cdot\sqrt5\\ =&\,-\frac{2\cdot5}{5}\\ =&\,-2. \end{align*}

解法二

思路

展开

沿用参考三角形。第四象限中 tan⁡θ\tan\theta 为负,而大小是 oppositeadjacent\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}。

答题过程

展开

From the reference triangle, the opposite side has length 22 and the adjacent side has length 11.

Since θ\theta is in the fourth quadrant, tan⁡θ<0\tan\theta<0.

Therefore,

tan⁡θ=−21=−2.\begin{align*} \tan\theta=-\frac21=-2. \end{align*}

(ii)(a)

解法一

思路

展开

cos⁡\cos 的最小值是 −1-1,所以 hh 的最小值是 4−34-3。

答题过程

展开

The minimum value of cos⁡(30t−40)∘\cos(30t-40)^\circ is −1-1.

So the minimum height is

4+3(−1)=1.\begin{align*} 4+3(-1)=1. \end{align*}

Therefore, the minimum height is

1 m.\begin{align*} 1\text{ m}. \end{align*}

(ii)(b)

解法一

思路

展开

最小值第一次出现时,cos⁡(30t−40)∘=−1\cos(30t-40)^\circ=-1,也就是角度第一次等于 180∘180^\circ。

答题过程

展开

For 0≤t<240\leq t<24, the angle u=30t−40u=30t-40 satisfies −40≤u<680-40\leq u<680 (in degrees). The minimum occurs when u=180+360ju=180+360j, where jj is an integer. The first such angle in this range is 180∘180^\circ, so the first minimum occurs when

30t−40=180.\begin{align*} 30t-40=180. \end{align*}

So

30t= 220t= 223= 7+13.\begin{align*} 30t=&\,220\\ t=&\,\frac{22}{3}\\ =&\,7+\frac13. \end{align*}

This is 77 hours and 2020 minutes after midnight.

Therefore, the exact time is

7:20 am.\begin{align*} 7{:}20\text{ am}. \end{align*}

(ii)(c)

解法一

思路

先令 h=3.5h=3.5 求余弦值,再列出当天范围内的四个候选角。图中 TT 位于第二个最高点之后的下降段,是四个交点中的第三个,因此选择 α+360∘\alpha+360^\circ,而不是最低点后的上升交点。

答题过程

展开

When h=3.5h=3.5,

4+3cos⁡(30T−40)∘= 3.53cos⁡(30T−40)∘= −0.5cos⁡(30T−40)∘= −16.\begin{align*} 4+3\cos(30T-40)^\circ=&\,3.5\\ 3\cos(30T-40)^\circ=&\,-0.5\\ \cos(30T-40)^\circ=&\,-\frac16. \end{align*}

Let α\alpha be the principal angle, in degrees, with

cos⁡α∘=−16.\cos\alpha^\circ=-\frac16.

Then

α=99.594068….\alpha=99.594068\ldots.

For 0≤T<240\leq T<24, the angle u=30T−40u=30T-40 satisfies −40≤u<680-40\leq u<680. The four solutions in this range are

u1= α,u2= 360−α,u3= 360+α,u4= 720−α.\begin{align*} u_1=&\,\alpha,\\ u_2=&\,360-\alpha,\\ u_3=&\,360+\alpha,\\ u_4=&\,720-\alpha. \end{align*}

Figure 2 places TT on the descending branch after the second maximum, at the third intersection with h=3.5h=3.5. Hence

30T−40= 360+αT= 400+α30= 16.653135….\begin{align*} 30T-40=&\,360+\alpha\\ T=&\,\frac{400+\alpha}{30}\\ =&\,16.653135\ldots. \end{align*}

Therefore,

T=16.65(to 2 decimal places).T=16.65\quad\text{(to 2 decimal places)}.
