Problem

In this question you must show all stages of your working.

Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.

Figure 2 shows a sketch of the curve CC with parametric equations

x= 2cos⁡2t,y=sin⁡3t, −π2<t<π2.\begin{align*} x=&\,2\cos2t,\qquad y=\sin^3t,\\ &\,-\frac{\pi}{2}<t<\frac{\pi}{2}. \end{align*}

where tt is a parameter.

The point PP lies on CC where t=π6t=\dfrac{\pi}{6}.

The line ll, shown in Figure 2, is the tangent to CC at PP.

(a) Use parametric differentiation to show that

(i) dydx=ksin⁡t\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=k\sin t where kk is a constant to be found

(ii) an equation for ll is 3x+16y−5=03x+16y-5=0

(6)

The line ll intersects the curve CC again at the point QQ.

(b) Using algebra and showing detailed reasoning, find the exact coordinates of QQ.

本题必须写出全部解题步骤。

不接受完全依赖计算器技术的解法。

图 2 给出了曲线 CC 的草图,其参数方程为

x= 2cos⁡2t,y=sin⁡3t, −π2<t<π2.\begin{align*} x=&\,2\cos2t,\qquad y=\sin^3t,\\ &\,-\frac{\pi}{2}<t<\frac{\pi}{2}. \end{align*}

其中 tt 为参数。

点 PP 在曲线 CC 上,且 t=π6t=\dfrac{\pi}{6}。

图 2 中的直线 ll 是曲线 CC 在点 PP 处的切线。

(a) 用参数求导证明:

(i) dydx=ksin⁡t\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}=k\sin t,其中 kk 是待求常数;

(ii) 直线 ll 的一个方程为 3x+16y−5=03x+16y-5=0。

(6)

分别对参数求导,取两导数的比,再用二倍角公式化简。

答题过程

展开

Differentiate with respect to tt:

dxdt= −4sin⁡2t,dydt= 3sin⁡2tcos⁡t.\begin{align*} \frac{\mathrm{d}x}{\mathrm{d}t}=&\,-4\sin2t,\\ \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}t}=&\,3\sin^2t\cos t. \end{align*}

Using dy/dx=(dy/dt)÷(dx/dt)\mathrm{d}y/\mathrm{d}x=(\mathrm{d}y/\mathrm{d}t)\div(\mathrm{d}x/\mathrm{d}t),

dydx=3sin⁡2tcos⁡t−4sin⁡2t.\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} =\frac{3\sin^2t\cos t}{-4\sin2t}.

Since sin⁡2t=2sin⁡tcos⁡t\sin2t=2\sin t\cos t,

dydx= 3sin⁡2tcos⁡t−8sin⁡tcos⁡t= −38sin⁡t.\begin{align*} \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} =&\,\frac{3\sin^2t\cos t}{-8\sin t\cos t}\\ =&\,-\frac38\sin t. \end{align*}

Thus k=−3/8k=-3/8.

解法一

思路

展开

代入 t=π/6t=\pi/6 求切点与斜率,用点斜式自然推出指定切线方程。

答题过程

展开

At PP, t=π/6t=\pi/6, so

x= 2cos⁡(π/3)=1,y= (sin⁡(π/6))3=18.\begin{align*} x=&\,2\cos(\pi/3)=1,\\ y=&\,\big(\sin(\pi/6)\big)^3=\frac18. \end{align*}

The tangent gradient is

m=−38sin⁡(π/6)=−316.m=-\frac38\sin(\pi/6)=-\frac3{16}.

Using the point-gradient form,

y−18= −316(x−1),16y−2= −3x+3,3x+16y−5= 0,\begin{align*} y-\frac18=&\,-\frac3{16}(x-1),\\ 16y-2=&\,-3x+3,\\ 3x+16y-5=&\,0, \end{align*}

as required.

将参数方程代入切线,以 u=sin⁡tu=\sin t 化为三次方程。代数分解后排除切点 PP,再求另一交点的坐标。

答题过程

展开

Substitute the parametric equations into the line:

6cos⁡2t+16sin⁡3t−5=0.6\cos2t+16\sin^3t-5=0.

Using cos⁡2t=1−2sin⁡2t\cos2t=1-2\sin^2t and writing u=sin⁡tu=\sin t,

6(1−2u2)+16u3−5= 0,16u3−12u2+1= 0.\begin{align*} 6(1-2u^2)+16u^3-5=&\,0,\\ 16u^3-12u^2+1=&\,0. \end{align*}

At PP, u=1/2u=1/2, so 2u−12u-1 is a factor. Algebraic division gives

16u3−12u2+1=(2u−1)(8u2−2u−1).16u^3-12u^2+1=(2u-1)(8u^2-2u-1).

Factor the quadratic:

8u2−2u−1= 8u2−4u+2u−1= 4u(2u−1)+(2u−1)= (2u−1)(4u+1).\begin{align*} 8u^2-2u-1=&\,8u^2-4u+2u-1\\ =&\,4u(2u-1)+(2u-1)\\ =&\,(2u-1)(4u+1). \end{align*}

Thus

(2u−1)2(4u+1)=0.(2u-1)^2(4u+1)=0.

The root u=1/2u=1/2 corresponds to PP, not the second intersection. Hence at QQ, sin⁡t=−1/4\sin t=-1/4.

The parameter t=arcsin⁡(−1/4)t=\arcsin(-1/4) lies in the given interval, so this root is valid. Its coordinates are

y= (−1/4)3=−164,cos⁡2t= 1−2(1/16)=78,x= 2⋅78=74.\begin{align*} y=&\,(-1/4)^3=-\frac1{64},\\ \cos2t=&\,1-2(1/16)=\frac78,\\ x=&\,2\cdot\frac78=\frac74. \end{align*}

Therefore

Q=(74,−164).\boxed{Q=\bigg(\frac74,-\frac1{64}\bigg)}.

解法二

思路

由 xx 表达 sin⁡2t\sin^2t,再用 y2=sin⁡6ty^2=\sin^6t 消参,结合切线得到关于 xx 的三次方程。平方后回原参数式核验分支。

答题过程

展开

Eliminate tt using the xx coordinate:

x= 2(1−2sin⁡2t),sin⁡2t= 2−x4.\begin{align*} x=&\,2(1-2\sin^2t),\\ \sin^2t=&\,\frac{2-x}{4}. \end{align*}

Since y=sin⁡3ty=\sin^3t, squaring gives

y2= (sin⁡2t)3=(2−x4)3,64y2= (2−x)3.\begin{align*} y^2=&\,(\sin^2t)^3=\bigg(\frac{2-x}{4}\bigg)^3,\\ 64y^2=&\,(2-x)^3. \end{align*}

平方关系保留上下两个分支,不将 yy 限定为正的 3/23/2 次幂。

On the line, 16y=5−3x16y=5-3x. Substitute into the squared relation:

(5−3x)2= 4(2−x)3,25−30x+9x2= 32−48x+24x2−4x3,4x3−15x2+18x−7= 0.\begin{align*} (5-3x)^2=&\,4(2-x)^3,\\ 25-30x+9x^2 =&\,32-48x+24x^2-4x^3,\\ 4x^3-15x^2+18x-7=&\,0. \end{align*}

The known intersection PP has x=1x=1. Dividing by x−1x-1,

4x3−15x2+18x−7= (x−1)(4x2−11x+7),4x2−11x+7= (x−1)(4x−7).\begin{align*} 4x^3-15x^2+18x-7 =&\,(x-1)(4x^2-11x+7),\\ 4x^2-11x+7=&\,(x-1)(4x-7). \end{align*}

Therefore (x−1)2(4x−7)=0(x-1)^2(4x-7)=0. Excluding PP, x=7/4x=7/4. The line then gives

16y= 5−214=−14,y= −164.\begin{align*} 16y=&\,5-\frac{21}{4}=-\frac14,\\ y=&\,-\frac1{64}. \end{align*}

To check the candidate after squaring, take t=arcsin⁡(−1/4)t=\arcsin(-1/4), which is in (−π/2,π/2)(-\pi/2,\pi/2). Then y=sin⁡3t=−1/64y=\sin^3t=-1/64 and x=2(1−2sin⁡2t)=7/4x=2(1-2\sin^2t)=7/4.

Thus Q=(7/4,−1/64)Q=(7/4,-1/64) lies on the original curve and the line.

解法三

思路

用 yy 的实立方根表达 sin⁡t\sin t,消参得到关于 yy 的三次方程,代数分解并排除 PP,再核验原关系和参数范围。

答题过程

展开

Let s=y3s=\sqrt[3]{y} be the real cube root. Since y=sin⁡3ty=\sin^3t, s=sin⁡ts=\sin t, and

x=2−4s2.x=2-4s^2.

Substitute into the line:

3(2−4s2)+16y−5= 0,12s2= 16y+1.\begin{align*} 3(2-4s^2)+16y-5=&\,0,\\ 12s^2=&\,16y+1. \end{align*}

Cube both sides and use s6=y2s^6=y^2:

1728y2= (16y+1)3,1728y2= 4096y3+768y2 +48y+1,4096y3−960y2+48y+1= 0.\begin{align*} 1728y^2=&\,(16y+1)^3,\\ 1728y^2=&\,4096y^3+768y^2\\ &\,+48y+1,\\ 4096y^3-960y^2+48y+1=&\,0. \end{align*}

At PP, y=1/8y=1/8, so 8y−18y-1 is a factor. Division gives

 4096y3−960y2+48y+1= (8y−1)(512y2−56y−1).\begin{align*} &\,4096y^3-960y^2+48y+1\\ =&\,(8y-1)(512y^2-56y-1). \end{align*}

The quadratic factors as (8y−1)(64y+1)(8y-1)(64y+1). Thus

(8y−1)2(64y+1)=0.(8y-1)^2(64y+1)=0.

Excluding PP, y=−1/64y=-1/64. Using the line,

3x= 5−16(−1/64)=214,x= 74.\begin{align*} 3x=&\,5-16(-1/64)=\frac{21}{4},\\ x=&\,\frac74. \end{align*}

Check with the real cube root s=−1/4s=-1/4. The unsimplified relation holds: 12s2=3/4=16y+112s^2=3/4=16y+1. Also t=arcsin⁡(−1/4)t=\arcsin(-1/4) is in the allowed interval, and x=2−4s2=7/4x=2-4s^2=7/4.

Hence Q=(7/4,−1/64)Q=(7/4,-1/64) is valid.
