函数 ffgg 定义为

f(x)=4x+6x5xR, x5f(x)=\frac{4x+6}{x-5}\qquad x\in\mathbb{R},\ x\ne 5 g(x)=52x2xR, x0g(x)=5-2x^2\qquad x\in\mathbb{R},\ x\le 0

(a) 解方程

fg(x)=3fg(x)=3

(b) 求 f1f^{-1}

(c) 在同一坐标轴上画出并标注曲线 y=g(x)y=g(x) 与曲线 y=g1(x)y=g^{-1}(x) 的草图,并在图上标出每条曲线与坐标轴相交或相切的点的坐标。

解答

(a)

We need to solve

fg(x)=3fg(x)=3

This means

f(g(x))=3f(g(x))=3

Since

g(x)=52x2g(x)=5-2x^2

we have

f(g(x))=4(52x2)+6(52x2)5f(g(x))=\frac{4(5-2x^2)+6}{(5-2x^2)-5}

Simplify:

f(g(x))=208x2+62x2=268x22x2\begin{aligned} f(g(x)) &=\frac{20-8x^2+6}{-2x^2}\\ &=\frac{26-8x^2}{-2x^2} \end{aligned}

Set this equal to 33:

268x22x2=3\frac{26-8x^2}{-2x^2}=3

Multiply by 2x2-2x^2:

268x2=6x226-8x^2=-6x^2

So

26=2x226=2x^2

Therefore

x2=13x^2=13

Since the domain of gg is

x0x\leq 0

we take the negative root.

Hence

x=13\boxed{x=-\sqrt{13}}

(b)

Let

y=f(x)y=f(x)

Then

y=4x+6x5y=\frac{4x+6}{x-5}

Rearrange:

y(x5)=4x+6y(x-5)=4x+6

So

yx5y=4x+6yx-5y=4x+6

Bring the xx terms to one side:

yx4x=5y+6yx-4x=5y+6

Factorise:

x(y4)=5y+6x(y-4)=5y+6

Therefore

x=5y+6y4x=\frac{5y+6}{y-4}

Replace yy by xx:

f1(x)=5x+6x4\boxed{f^{-1}(x)=\frac{5x+6}{x-4}}

The domain of f1f^{-1} is

xR, x4\boxed{x\in\mathbb{R},\ x\ne 4}

(c)

For

g(x)=52x2,x0g(x)=5-2x^2,\qquad x\leq 0

the graph is the left half of a downward-opening parabola.

Its yy-intercept is

(0,5)(0,5)

For the xx-intercept:

52x2=05-2x^2=0

so

x2=52x^2=\frac52

Since x0x\leq 0,

x=52x=-\sqrt{\frac52}

Thus the xx-intercept is

(52,0)\left(-\sqrt{\frac52},0\right)

The graph of y=g1(x)y=g^{-1}(x) is the reflection of y=g(x)y=g(x) in the line y=xy=x.

Therefore its intercepts are

(5,0)(5,0)

and

(0,52)\left(0,-\sqrt{\frac52}\right)
