本题中你必须写出解题过程的所有步骤。
依赖计算器技术的解法不被接受。
一条曲线的方程为
16x3−9kx2y+8y3=875
其中 k 为常数。
(a) 证明
dxdy=8y2−3kx26kxy−16x2
。
已知该曲线在 x=25 处有一个转折点,
(b) 求 k 的值。
解答
(a)
解法一
思路

对曲线方程两边关于 x 作隐函数求导。处理 x2y 时使用乘积法则,然后把所有含 dxdy 的项移到同一边并提取公因式。

Differentiating implicitly with respect to x gives
48x2−9k(2xy+x2dxdy)+24y2dxdy=0.
Therefore,
(24y2−9kx2)dxdy=48x2−18kxy−9kx2dxdy+24y2dxdy=018kxy−48x2.
Hence
dxdy==24y2−9kx218kxy−48x28y2−3kx26kxy−16x2,
as required.
(b)
解法一
思路
展开
转折点处切线水平,因此令 (a) 中导数的分子为零,并代入 x=25,得到 ky 的值。再把这一关系和 x=25 一同代回原曲线方程,依次求出 y 与 k。

At a turning point,
dxdy=0.
Using the numerator of the derivative from part (a), with x=25,
6k(25)y−16(25)2=15ky−100=00.
Thus
ky=320.
Substituting x=25 and ky=320 into the equation of the curve gives
16(25)3−9(25)2(ky)+8y3=250−375+8y3=8y3=y=87587510005.
Therefore,
k=3y20=34.
For x=25, y=5 and k=34, the denominator of the derivative is
8y2−3kx2=175=0,
so this value does give a horizontal tangent.
