The roots of the quadratic equation \(2x^2 - 3x + 4 = 0\) are \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\). Without solving the equation, find a quadratic equation with integer coefficients which has roots \(\frac{\alpha}{\beta^2}\) and \(\frac{\beta}{\alpha^2}\).

解題

From the quadratic equation \(2x^2 - 3x + 4 = 0\), we can identify the sum and product of the roots: \(\alpha + \beta = \frac{3}{2}\) and \(\alpha\beta = \frac{4}{2} = 2\). We wish to find a new quadratic equation with roots \(\gamma = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2}\) and \(\delta = \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2}\). The sum of these new roots is: \(S = \gamma + \delta = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} + \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2} = \frac{\alpha^3 + \beta^3}{\alpha^2\beta^2}\). Using the identity \(\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = (\alpha+\beta)^3 - 3\alpha\beta(\alpha+\beta)\), we get: \(\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^3 - 3(2)\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) = \frac{27}{8} - 9 = -\frac{45}{8}\). Since \(\alpha^2\beta^2 = (\alpha\beta)^2 = 2^2 = 4\), the sum is: \(S = \frac{-45/8}{4} = -\frac{45}{32}\). The product of the new roots is: \(P = \gamma\delta = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} \times \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2} = \frac{\alpha\beta}{\alpha^2\beta^2} = \frac{1}{\alpha\beta} = \frac{1}{2}\). The new quadratic equation is given by \(x^2 - Sx + P = 0\), which is \(x^2 - \left(-\frac{45}{32}\right)x + \frac{1}{2} = 0 \implies x^2 + \frac{45}{32}x + \frac{1}{2} = 0\). Multiplying by 32 to obtain integer coefficients yields: \(32x^2 + 45x + 16 = 0\).

M1: Applies a correct algebraic identity to express \(\alpha^3 + \beta^3\) in terms of \(\alpha + \beta\) and \(\alpha\beta\).

(a) Show that \(\sum_{r=1}^{n} r(3r-1) = n^2(n+1)\). (b) Using this result, find the value of \(\sum_{r=10}^{25} r(3r-1)\).
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) We can expand the terms inside the summation and split it: \(\sum_{r=1}^{n} r(3r-1) = \sum_{r=1}^{n} (3r^2 - r) = 3\sum_{r=1}^{n} r^2 - \sum_{r=1}^{n} r\). Substituting the standard formulae \[\sum_{r=1}^{n} r^2 = \frac{1}{6}n(n+1)(2n+1)\] and \[\sum_{r=1}^{n} r = \frac{1}{2}n(n+1)\] we get: \(3 \left( \frac{1}{6}n(n+1)(2n+1) \right) - \frac{1}{2}n(n+1) = \frac{1}{2}n(n+1)(2n+1) - \frac{1}{2}n(n+1)\). Factoring out the common terms: \(\frac{1}{2}n(n+1) [ (2n+1) - 1 ] = \frac{1}{2}n(n+1)(2n) = n^2(n+1)\) as required. (b) To find the sum from \(r=10\) to \(r=25\), we use: \(\sum_{r=10}^{25} r(3r-1) = \sum_{r=1}^{25} r(3r-1) - \sum_{r=1}^{9} r(3r-1)\). Substituting \(n=25\) and \(n=9\) into our result from part (a): \(25^2(25+1) - 9^2(9+1) = 625(26) - 81(10) = 16250 - 810 = 15440\).

評分準則

M1 (part a): Expands and splits the summation using standard formulae for \(\sum r^2\) and \(\sum r\). A1 (part a): Simplifies the expression correctly to a common denominator, such as \(\frac{1}{2}n(n+1)[(2n+1) - 1]\). A1 (part a): Completes the algebra to show the required result \(n^2(n+1)\) with no errors. M1 (part b): Applies the subtraction method \(\sum_{r=10}^{25} = \sum_{r=1}^{25} - \sum_{r=1}^{9}\) using the formula. A1 (part b): Calculates the correct final value of 15440.

Let \(f(x) = x^3 - 5x + 3\). (a) Show that the equation \(f(x) = 0\) has a root \(\alpha\) in the interval \([0.6, 0.7]\). (b) Using the interval \([0.6, 0.7]\), use linear interpolation once on \(f(x)\) to find an approximation to \(\alpha\), giving your answer to 3 decimal places.
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) We evaluate the function at the endpoints of the interval: \(f(0.6) = (0.6)^3 - 5(0.6) + 3 = 0.216 - 3 + 3 = 0.216\) and \(f(0.7) = (0.7)^3 - 5(0.7) + 3 = 0.343 - 3.5 + 3 = -0.157\). Since \(f(x)\) is a continuous polynomial function, and there is a change of sign between \(f(0.6) > 0\) and \(f(0.7) < 0\), a root \(\alpha\) must exist in the interval \([0.6, 0.7]\). (b) Using linear interpolation over the interval \([0.6, 0.7]\), we set up the ratio: \(\frac{\alpha - 0.6}{0.7 - \alpha} = \frac{f(0.6)}{-f(0.7)} = \frac{0.216}{0.157}\). This gives: \(0.157(\alpha - 0.6) = 0.216(0.7 - \alpha) \implies 0.157\alpha - 0.0942 = 0.1512 - 0.216\alpha\). Solving for \(\alpha\): \(0.373\alpha = 0.2454 \implies \alpha = \frac{0.2454}{0.373} \approx 0.6579088...\). To 3 decimal places, \(\alpha \approx 0.658\).

評分準則

M1 (part a): Calculates at least one of \(f(0.6)\) or \(f(0.7)\) correctly. A1 (part a): Finds both \(f(0.6) = 0.216\) and \(f(0.7) = -0.157\) correctly, and concludes that a root exists because of continuity and the change of sign. M1 (part b): Uses a correct linear interpolation formula or ratio method with their values. A1 (part b): Obtains a correct unrounded value such as \(0.6579...\) or equivalent fraction. A1 (part b): Correctly rounds the final approximation to 0.658.

The roots of the quadratic equation \(2x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0\) are \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\). Without solving the equation:
(a) Find the value of \(\alpha^2 + \beta^2\).
(b) Find the value of \(\alpha^3 + \beta^3\).
(c) Form a quadratic equation, with integer coefficients, which has roots \(\frac{\alpha}{\beta^2}\) and \(\frac{\beta}{\alpha^2}\).
查看答案詳解

解題

Given the equation \(2x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0\), the sum and product of the roots are:
\(\alpha + \beta = \frac{5}{2}\)
\(\alpha \beta = 3\)

(a) Using the identity for the sum of squares:
\(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2 - 2(3) = \frac{25}{4} - 6 = \frac{1}{4}\)

(b) Using the identity for the sum of cubes:
\(\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = (\alpha + \beta)^3 - 3\alpha\beta(\alpha + \beta)\)
\(\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^3 - 3(3)\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) = \frac{125}{8} - \frac{45}{2} = \frac{125 - 180}{8} = -\frac{55}{8}\)

(c) For the new quadratic equation, let the roots be \(u = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2}\) and \(v = \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2}\).
The sum of the new roots \(S\) is:
\(S = u + v = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} + \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2} = \frac{\alpha^3 + \beta^3}{\alpha^2 \beta^2} = \frac{-\frac{55}{8}}{(\alpha\beta)^2} = \frac{-\frac{55}{8}}{3^2} = -\frac{55}{72}\)

The product of the new roots \(P\) is:
\(P = uv = \frac{\alpha}{\beta^2} \times \frac{\beta}{\alpha^2} = \frac{\alpha\beta}{\alpha^2\beta^2} = \frac{1}{\alpha\beta} = \frac{1}{3}\)

The new quadratic equation is given by:
\(x^2 - Sx + P = 0\)
\(x^2 - \left(-\frac{55}{72}\right)x + \frac{1}{3} = 0\)
\(x^2 + \frac{55}{72}x + \frac{1}{3} = 0\)

Multiplying by 72 to obtain integer coefficients:
\(72x^2 + 55x + 24 = 0\)

The complex number \(z\) satisfies the equation \(\frac{z}{z^* + 3\mathrm{i}} = 2 - \mathrm{i}\), where \(z^*\) denotes the complex conjugate of \(z\). Find \(z\), giving your answer in the form \(a + \mathrm{i}b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are rational numbers.
查看答案詳解

解題

Let \(z = a + \mathrm{i}b\), where \(a, b \in \mathbb{R}\). Then \(z^* = a - \mathrm{i}b\).

The given equation can be written as:
\(z = (2 - \mathrm{i})(z^* + 3\mathrm{i})\)

Substitute \(z\) and \(z^*\) into the equation:
\(a + \mathrm{i}b = (2 - \mathrm{i})(a - \mathrm{i}b + 3\mathrm{i})\)
\(a + \mathrm{i}b = (2 - \mathrm{i})(a + \mathrm{i}(3 - b))\)

Expand the right-hand side:
\((2 - \mathrm{i})(a + \mathrm{i}(3 - b)) = 2a + 2\mathrm{i}(3 - b) - \mathrm{i}a - \mathrm{i}^2(3 - b)\)
\(= 2a + \mathrm{i}(6 - 2b) - \mathrm{i}a + (3 - b)\)
\(= (2a - b + 3) + \mathrm{i}(6 - a - 2b)\)

Equating real and imaginary parts from both sides:
Real parts:
\(a = 2a - b + 3 \implies a - b + 3 = 0 \implies a = b - 3\)

Imaginary parts:
\(b = 6 - a - 2b \implies a + 3b - 6 = 0\)

Substitute \(a = b - 3\) into the imaginary parts equation:
\((b - 3) + 3b - 6 = 0\)
\(4b - 9 = 0 \implies b = \frac{9}{4}\)

Now, find \(a\):
\(a = \frac{9}{4} - 3 = -\frac{3}{4}\)

Thus, \(z = -\frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{4}\mathrm{i}\).

評分準則

M1: Substitutes \(z = a + \mathrm{i}b\) and \(z^* = a - \mathrm{i}b\) and clears the fraction.
M1: Expands the RHS, collecting real and imaginary parts (allow one sign error).
A1: Correct expanded RHS: \((2a - b + 3) + \mathrm{i}(6 - a - 2b)\).
M1: Equates real and imaginary parts to form two linear simultaneous equations.
A1: Correct equations, e.g., \(a - b + 3 = 0\) and \(a + 3b - 6 = 0\).
M1: Solves the simultaneous equations to find values for \(a\) and \(b\).
A1: Correct values of \(a = -\frac{3}{4}\) and \(b = \frac{9}{4}\).
A1: Correct final complex number in the form \(a + \mathrm{i}b\).

(a) Using the standard formulae for \(\sum_{r=1}^n r^2\) and \(\sum_{r=1}^n r\), show that \(\sum_{r=1}^n (3r-1)(r+2) = n(n^2 + 4n + 1)\) for all positive integers \(n\).

(b) Hence, find the value of \(\sum_{r=10}^{20} (3r-1)(r+2)\).
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) Expanding the summand:
\((3r-1)(r+2) = 3r^2 + 5r - 2\)

Applying sum properties:
\(\sum_{r=1}^n (3r-1)(r+2) = 3\sum_{r=1}^n r^2 + 5\sum_{r=1}^n r - \sum_{r=1}^n 2\)

Substitute standard formulae:
\(= 3 \left[ \frac{1}{6}n(n+1)(2n+1) \right] + 5 \left[ \frac{1}{2}n(n+1) \right] - 2n\)
\(= \frac{1}{2}n(n+1)(2n+1) + \frac{5}{2}n(n+1) - 2n\)

Factor out \(\frac{1}{2}n\):
\(= \frac{1}{2}n \left[ (n+1)(2n+1) + 5(n+1) - 4 \right]\)
\(= \frac{1}{2}n \left[ 2n^2 + 3n + 1 + 5n + 5 - 4 \right]\)
\(= \frac{1}{2}n \left[ 2n^2 + 8n + 2 \right]\)
\(= n(n^2 + 4n + 1)\) (as required).

(b) To evaluate \(\sum_{r=10}^{20} (3r-1)(r+2)\):
\(\sum_{r=10}^{20} (3r-1)(r+2) = \sum_{r=1}^{20} (3r-1)(r+2) - \sum_{r=1}^{9} (3r-1)(r+2)\)

Using the formula from part (a):
For \(n = 20\):
\(20(20^2 + 4(20) + 1) = 20(400 + 80 + 1) = 20(481) = 9620\)

For \(n = 9\):
\(9(9^2 + 4(9) + 1) = 9(81 + 36 + 1) = 9(118) = 1062\)

Subtracting these values:
\(\sum_{r=10}^{20} (3r-1)(r+2) = 9620 - 1062 = 8558\).

(a)
B1: Expands summand to \(3r^2 + 5r - 2\).

(c) Show that the coordinates of \(N\) are
\[\left(\frac{c(p^2-1)}{p}, -\frac{c(p^2-1)}{p}\right)\]
(5 marks)
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) The equation of the hyperbola is \(y = c^2 x^{-1}\).

Differentiating with respect to \(x\):
\[\frac{dy}{dx} = -c^2 x^{-2} = -\frac{c^2}{x^2}\]

At the point \(P\left(cp, \frac{c}{p}\right)\), the gradient of the tangent is:
\[m_t = -\frac{c^2}{(cp)^2} = -\frac{1}{p^2}\]

The equation of the tangent is:
\[y - \frac{c}{p} = -\frac{1}{p^2}(x - cp)\]

Multiplying through by \(p^2\):
\[p^2 y - cp = -x + cp\]
\[x + p^2 y = 2cp\]

(b) To find \(A\), substitute \(y = 0\):
\[x + p^2(0) = 2cp \implies x = 2cp \implies A(2cp, 0)\]

To find \(B\), substitute \(x = 0\):
\[0 + p^2 y = 2cp \implies y = \frac{2c}{p} \implies B\left(0, \frac{2c}{p}\right)\]

(c) The gradient of the normal to \(H\) at \(P\) is:
\[m_n = -\frac{1}{m_t} = p^2\]

The equation of the normal is:
\[y - \frac{c}{p} = p^2(x - cp)\]

Multiplying through by \(p\):
\[py - c = p^3 x - cp^4\]
\[p^3 x - py = c(p^4 - 1)\]

The normal meets the line \(y = -x\) at \(N\). Substituting \(y = -x\) into the normal equation:
\[p^3 x - p(-x) = c(p^4 - 1)\]
\[x(p^3 + p) = c(p^2 - 1)(p^2 + 1)\]
\[xp(p^2 + 1) = c(p^2 - 1)(p^2 + 1)\]

Since \(p > 0\), \(p^2 + 1 \neq 0\). Dividing both sides by \(p^2 + 1\):
\[xp = c(p^2 - 1) \implies x = \frac{c(p^2 - 1)}{p}\]

Since \(y = -x\), the y-coordinate of \(N\) is:
\[y = -\frac{c(p^2 - 1)}{p}\]

Thus, the coordinates of \(N\) are:
\[\left(\frac{c(p^2-1)}{p}, -\frac{c(p^2-1)}{p}\right)\]

The complex number \(z_1\) is given by \(z_1 = a + 3\text{i}\), where \(a\) is a positive real constant.

The complex number \(w\) is defined by
\[w = \frac{z_1 + 3\text{i}}{z_1 - 2\text{i}}\]

(a) Show that
\[w = \frac{a^2 + 6}{a^2 + 1} + \frac{5a}{a^2 + 1}\text{i}\]

Given that \(\arg(w) = \frac{\pi}{4}\),

(b) find the possible values of \(a\).
(4 marks)

(c) For the larger value of \(a\) found in part (b), find the modulus of \(w\), giving your answer as an exact simplified surd.
(3 marks)
查看答案詳解

解題

(a) Substitute \(z_1 = a + 3\text{i}\) into the expression for \(w\):
\[w = \frac{a + 3\text{i} + 3\text{i}}{a + 3\text{i} - 2\text{i}} = \frac{a + 6\text{i}}{a + \text{i}}\]

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the complex conjugate of the denominator, \(a - \text{i}\):
\[w = \frac{(a + 6\text{i})(a - \text{i})}{(a + \text{i})(a - \text{i})}\]
\[w = \frac{a^2 - a\text{i} + 6a\text{i} - 6\text{i}^2}{a^2 + 1}\]

Since \(\text{i}^2 = -1\):
\[w = \frac{a^2 + 6 + 5a\text{i}}{a^2 + 1}\]
\[w = \frac{a^2 + 6}{a^2 + 1} + \frac{5a}{a^2 + 1}\text{i}\]

(b) Since \(\arg(w) = \frac{\pi}{4}\), both the real part and the imaginary part of \(w\) must be positive, and:
\[\tan\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\operatorname{Im}(w)}{\operatorname{Re}(w)} = 1 \implies \operatorname{Im}(w) = \operatorname{Re}(w)\]

Therefore:
\[\frac{5a}{a^2 + 1} = \frac{a^2 + 6}{a^2 + 1}\]

Since \(a^2 + 1 > 0\) for all real \(a\), we can multiply both sides by \(a^2 + 1\):
\[5a = a^2 + 6\]
\[a^2 - 5a + 6 = 0\]
\[(a - 2)(a - 3) = 0\]

Thus, the possible values of \(a\) are \(a = 2\) or \(a = 3\).
Both values are positive, so the real and imaginary parts remain positive, confirming both solutions are valid.

(c) The larger value of \(a\) is \(a = 3\).

Substituting \(a = 3\) into \(w\):
\[w = \frac{3^2 + 6}{3^2 + 1} + \frac{5(3)}{3^2 + 1}\text{i} = \frac{15}{10} + \frac{15}{10}\text{i} = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2}\text{i}\]

Then the modulus of \(w\) is:
\[|w| = \sqrt{\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2} = \sqrt{\frac{9}{4} + \frac{9}{4}} = \sqrt{\frac{18}{4}} = \frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2}\]

評分準則

(a)
- M1: Substitutes \(z_1 = a + 3\text{i}\) into \(w\) and simplifies numerator and denominator to linear complex terms.
- M1: Multiplies numerator and denominator by \(a - \text{i}\).
- A1: Correct expansion of the numerator, showing \(a^2 + 6 + 5a\text{i}\).
- A1*: Obtains the given expression with no errors seen.

(b)
- B1: Explains that \(\arg(w) = \frac{\pi}{4} \implies \operatorname{Re}(w) = \operatorname{Im}(w) > 0\).

- B1: Identifies \(a = 3\) as the larger value.
- M1: Substitutes \(a = 3\) to find \(w = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{2}\text{i}\) and attempts to find the modulus using Pythagoras' theorem.

解題

For the equation \(2x^2 - 5x + 4 = 0\), we have:
\[\alpha + \beta = \frac{5}{2}\]
\[\alpha\beta = \frac{4}{2} = 2\]

(a) We use the identity:
\[\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta\]
Substituting the values:
\[\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^2 - 2(2) = \frac{25}{4} - 4 = \frac{9}{4}\]

(b) We use the identity:
\[\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = (\alpha + \beta)^3 - 3\alpha\beta(\alpha + \beta)\]
Substituting the values:
\[\alpha^3 + \beta^3 = \left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^3 - 3(2)\left(\frac{5}{2}\right) = \frac{125}{8} - 15 = \frac{125 - 120}{8} = \frac{5}{8}\]

(c) Let the new roots be \(\gamma = \alpha^2 + \frac{1}{\beta}\) and \(\delta = \beta^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha}\).

First, find the sum of the new roots, \(S\):
\[S = \gamma + \delta = \left(\alpha^2 + \beta^2\right) + \left(\frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta}\right)\]
\[S = \left(\alpha^2 + \beta^2\right) + \frac{\alpha + \beta}{\alpha\beta}\]

Using the values from earlier:
\[S = \frac{9}{4} + \frac{5/2}{2} = \frac{9}{4} + \frac{5}{4} = \frac{14}{4} = \frac{7}{2}\]

Next, find the product of the new roots, \(P\):
\[P = \gamma\delta = \left(\alpha^2 + \frac{1}{\beta}\right)\left(\beta^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha}\right)\]
\[P = \alpha^2\beta^2 + \alpha + \beta + \frac{1}{\alpha\beta}\]
\[P = (\alpha\beta)^2 + (\alpha + \beta) + \frac{1}{\alpha\beta}\]

Using the values:
\[P = 2^2 + \frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = 4 + 3 = 7\]

The new quadratic equation is given by:
\[x^2 - Sx + P = 0\]
\[x^2 - \frac{7}{2}x + 7 = 0\]

Multiplying by 2 to obtain integer coefficients:
\[2x^2 - 7x + 14 = 0\]
