解答
(a)
First factorise the denominator:
x2−x−12=(x−4)(x+3)
We are given
x2−x−12x4−x3−10x2+3x−9≡x2+P+x−4Q
Multiply both sides by (x−4)(x+3):
x4−x3−10x2+3x−9≡(x2+P)(x−4)(x+3)+Q(x+3)
Since
(x−4)(x+3)=x2−x−12
we get
x4−x3−10x2+3x−9≡(x2+P)(x2−x−12)+Q(x+3)
Expand:
(x2+P)(x2−x−12)+Q(x+3)=x4−x3+(P−12)x2+(−P+Q)x+(−12P+3Q)
Compare coefficients with
x4−x3−10x2+3x−9
From the coefficient of x2,
P−12=−10
so
P=2
From the coefficient of x,
−P+Q=3
Substitute P=2:
−2+Q=3
Therefore
Q=5
Hence
P=2,Q=5
So
g(x)=x2+2+x−45
(b)
From part (a),
g(x)=x2+2+x−45
Differentiate:
g′(x)=2x−(x−4)25
At x=2,
g′(2)=2(2)−(2−4)25
So
g′(2)=4−45=411
This is the gradient of the tangent.
Now find the y coordinate when x=2:
g(2)=22+2+2−45=4+2−25=27
So the tangent passes through
(2,27)
Using
y−y1=m(x−x1)
we get
y−27=411(x−2)
Therefore
y=411x−211+27
Hence
y=411x−2
(c)
The region R lies between x=0 and x=2, under the curve C and above the x-axis.
Using the expression from part (a),
g(x)=x2+2+x−45
So the area is
∫02(x2+2+x−45)dx
Integrate:
∫(x2+2+x−45)dx=31x3+2x+5ln∣x−4∣
Therefore
Area=[31x3+2x+5ln∣x−4∣]02=(38+4+5ln2)−(0+0+5ln4)=320+5ln2−5ln4
Since
ln4=ln(22)=2ln2
we get
Area=320+5ln2−10ln2
Hence
Area=320−5ln2
