Q1EASY 8.1 Average Value8.1 平均值No Calculator[2 marks]

The average value of $f(x)=x^{2}$ on $[0,3]$ is$f(x)=x^{2}$ 在 $[0,3]$ 上的平均值为

Answer:答案: (C) $3$

Apply the average value formula套用平均值公式 M1·A1

The average value of $f$ on $[a,b]$ is $\dfrac{1}{b-a}\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx$. Here $b-a=3$, so: (M1)$f$ 在 $[a,b]$ 上的平均值为 $\dfrac{1}{b-a}\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}f(x)\,dx$。此处 $b-a=3$,故:(M1)

$$ \frac{1}{3}\int_{0}^{3}x^{2}\,dx=\frac{1}{3}\left[\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{0}^{3}=\frac{1}{3}\cdot 9=3. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 Average value is the Mean Value Theorem for Integrals in disguise: it is the constant height that gives the same signed area as $f$ over $[a,b]$. Never forget the $\dfrac{1}{b-a}$ factor out front, it is the single most common mark lost on this topic.平均值实质上是积分中值定理的另一种表述:它是与 $f$ 在 $[a,b]$ 上产生相同带号面积的等高常数。切勿遗漏前面的 $\dfrac{1}{b-a}$ 因子,这是本专题最常见的失分点。
Q2EASY 8.2 Motion (Displacement)8.2 运动(位移)No Calculator[2 marks]

A particle moves along the $x$-axis with velocity $v(t)=t-2$ for $0\le t\le 3$. The displacement of the particle on this interval is一质点沿 $x$ 轴运动,速度为 $v(t)=t-2$,$0\le t\le 3$。该质点在此区间上的位移为

Answer:答案: (A) $-\dfrac{3}{2}$

Displacement is the plain (signed) integral of velocity位移是速度的(带号)积分 M1·A1

Displacement $=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{3}v(t)\,dt$, so integrate directly, no absolute value: (M1)位移 $=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{3}v(t)\,dt$,直接积分,不取绝对值:(M1)

$$ \int_{0}^{3}(t-2)\,dt=\left[\frac{t^{2}}{2}-2t\right]_{0}^{3}=\left(\frac{9}{2}-6\right)-0=-\frac{3}{2}. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 Displacement can be negative, it is net signed change in position, while distance never is. The instant a question says "displacement" or "position change" instead of "distance" or "how far," drop the absolute value bars.位移可以为负,它是位置的净带号变化量,而路程绝不为负。一旦题目用的是"位移"或"位置变化"而非"路程"或"走了多远",就应去掉绝对值符号。
Q3MEDIUM 8.2 Total Distance8.2 总路程No Calculator[2 marks]

A particle moves with velocity $v(t)=t-2$ for $0\le t\le 3$. The total distance traveled is一质点的速度为 $v(t)=t-2$,$0\le t\le 3$。该质点走过的总路程为

Answer:答案: (C) $\dfrac{5}{2}$

Split at the sign change of $v$在 $v$ 变号处拆分 M1·A1

$v(t)=t-2$ is negative on $[0,2)$ and positive on $(2,3]$, so total distance $=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}(2-t)\,dt+\int_{2}^{3}(t-2)\,dt$. (M1)$v(t)=t-2$ 在 $[0,2)$ 上为负,在 $(2,3]$ 上为正,故总路程 $=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}(2-t)\,dt+\int_{2}^{3}(t-2)\,dt$。(M1)

$$ \left[2t-\frac{t^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{2}+\left[\frac{t^{2}}{2}-2t\right]_{2}^{3}=(4-2)+\left(\left(\frac{9}{2}-6\right)-(2-4)\right)=2+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 Total distance is $\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}|v(t)|\,dt$, and the only way to remove the absolute value by hand is to locate every zero of $v$ first and flip the sign of the negative piece. Compare to Q2: same $v(t)$, same interval, but distance $\left(\tfrac{5}{2}\right)$ exceeds $|{\text{displacement}}|\left(\tfrac{3}{2}\right)$ exactly because the particle backtracks.总路程为 $\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}|v(t)|\,dt$,手算时去掉绝对值的唯一方法是先找出 $v$ 的所有零点,再把为负的那一段取相反数。与 Q2 对比:同样的 $v(t)$、同样的区间,但路程 $\left(\tfrac{5}{2}\right)$ 大于位移的绝对值 $\left(\tfrac{3}{2}\right)$,原因正是质点发生了折返。
Q4MEDIUM 8.3 Accumulation8.3 累积量Calculator[2 marks]

Water flows into a tank at a rate of $r(t)=4+\sin(t)$ gallons per minute, for $0\le t\le 6$. The tank initially contains $50$ gallons. The amount in the tank at $t=6$ is closest to水以 $r(t)=4+\sin(t)$ 加仑/分钟的速率流入水箱,$0\le t\le 6$。水箱初始容量为 $50$ 加仑。$t=6$ 时水箱中的水量最接近

Answer:答案: (B) $74$ gal加仑

Initial amount plus net accumulated change初始量加上累积净变化 M1·A1

Amount at $t=6$ equals the starting amount plus the accumulated inflow: $50+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{6}r(t)\,dt$. (M1)$t=6$ 时的水量等于初始水量加上累积流入量:$50+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{6}r(t)\,dt$。(M1)

$$ \int_{0}^{6}(4+\sin t)\,dt=\bigl[4t-\cos t\bigr]_{0}^{6}=(24-\cos 6)-(0-\cos 0)=25-\cos 6\approx 25-0.960=24.04. $$

So the amount is $50+24.04\approx 74.04$ gal, closest to $74$. (A1)故水量约为 $50+24.04\approx 74.04$ 加仑,最接近 $74$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 "Amount at time $t$" is always "starting amount $+$ net accumulated change," this is the accumulation-function idea (Unit 6) applied to a physical quantity. Keep the calculator in radian mode; $\cos 6$ in degree mode would silently wreck the answer."$t$ 时刻的量"始终等于"初始量 $+$ 累积净变化",这正是累积函数思想(第6单元)在实际量上的应用。计算器务必保持弧度制;若误用角度制计算 $\cos 6$,答案会在不知不觉中出错。
Q5EASY 8.4 Area (in $x$)8.4 面积(以 $x$ 为变量)No Calculator[2 marks]

The area enclosed by $y=x$ and $y=x^{2}$ is$y=x$ 与 $y=x^{2}$ 所围的面积为

Answer:答案: (C) $\dfrac{1}{6}$

Find the intersections, then integrate top minus bottom先求交点,再积分(上减下) M1·A1

Solve $x=x^{2}$: $x^{2}-x=0\Rightarrow x=0,1$. On $(0,1)$, $x\ge x^{2}$ (test $x=\tfrac12$: $\tfrac12>\tfrac14$). (M1)解 $x=x^{2}$:$x^{2}-x=0\Rightarrow x=0,1$。在 $(0,1)$ 上 $x\ge x^{2}$(取 $x=\tfrac12$ 检验:$\tfrac12>\tfrac14$)。(M1)

$$ \int_{0}^{1}\bigl(x-x^{2}\bigr)\,dx=\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{0}^{1}=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{6}. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 The intersection points are always the integration bounds, and the "top minus bottom" order must be tested with an interior point, not assumed from the equations' order. Getting it backward flips the sign of the area, a mark-losing trap that a quick sign check at the midpoint always catches.交点始终是积分的上下限,而"上减下"的顺序必须用区间内一点检验,不能凭方程书写顺序臆断。若顺序写反会使面积变号,这是常见失分陷阱,取中点快速验证符号即可避免。
Q6MEDIUM 8.5 Area (in $y$)8.5 面积(以 $y$ 为变量)No Calculator[2 marks]

Which integral gives the area enclosed by $x=y^{2}$ and $x=y+2$?下列哪个积分表示 $x=y^{2}$ 与 $x=y+2$ 所围的面积?

Answer:答案: (A) $\displaystyle\int_{-1}^{2}\bigl[(y+2)-y^{2}\bigr]\,dy$

Solve for $y$-bounds, then take right minus left求出 $y$ 的界,再取(右减左) M1·A1

Set $y^{2}=y+2$: $y^{2}-y-2=0\Rightarrow(y-2)(y+1)=0\Rightarrow y=-1,2$. (M1)令 $y^{2}=y+2$:$y^{2}-y-2=0\Rightarrow(y-2)(y+1)=0\Rightarrow y=-1,2$。(M1)

Testing $y=0$: $x=y+2=2$ lies to the right of $x=y^{2}=0$, so the right boundary is $x=y+2$ and the integrand is $(y+2)-y^{2}$, giving option (A). (A1)取 $y=0$ 检验:$x=y+2=2$ 在 $x=y^{2}=0$ 的右侧,故右边界为 $x=y+2$,被积函数为 $(y+2)-y^{2}$,即选项 (A)。(A1)

Insight.要点。 When a region is more naturally described horizontally (a sideways parabola meeting a slanted line), integrating in $y$ avoids splitting into two $x$-integrals. The recipe is a mirror image of Q5: find $y$-intersections, test an interior $y$-value to see which curve is farther right, then integrate right minus left.当区域更适合用水平方向描述时(如横放的抛物线与斜线相交),按 $y$ 积分可避免拆成两个 $x$ 积分。其方法与 Q5 完全对称:求出 $y$ 方向的交点,取区间内一点检验哪条曲线更靠右,再按(右减左)积分。
Q7HARD 8.6 Multiple Intersections8.6 多交点面积No Calculator[2 marks]

The total area of the regions enclosed between $y=x^{3}-x$ and the $x$-axis is$y=x^{3}-x$ 与 $x$ 轴所围各区域的总面积为

Answer:答案: (C) $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Find every root, then integrate $|y|$ piece by piece求出所有零点,再逐段积分 $|y|$ M1·A1

Factor: $x^{3}-x=x(x-1)(x+1)$, roots at $x=-1,0,1$. On $(-1,0)$, $y\ge 0$ (test $x=-\tfrac12$: $-\tfrac18+\tfrac12>0$); on $(0,1)$, $y\le 0$ by odd symmetry. (M1)因式分解:$x^{3}-x=x(x-1)(x+1)$,零点为 $x=-1,0,1$。在 $(-1,0)$ 上 $y\ge 0$(取 $x=-\tfrac12$ 检验:$-\tfrac18+\tfrac12>0$);由奇函数对称性,在 $(0,1)$ 上 $y\le 0$。(M1)

$$ \int_{-1}^{0}(x^{3}-x)\,dx+\int_{0}^{1}-(x^{3}-x)\,dx=2\int_{0}^{1}(x-x^{3})\,dx=2\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{x^{4}}{4}\right]_{0}^{1}=2\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)=\frac{1}{2}. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 "Total area between a curve and the $x$-axis" is code for $\displaystyle\int|y|\,dx$: find every root, alternate the sign on each subinterval, and never let a signed integral over the whole domain (which would give $0$ here by odd symmetry) stand in for total area."曲线与 $x$ 轴之间的总面积"实为 $\displaystyle\int|y|\,dx$ 的另一种说法:先求出所有零点,各子区间交替取号,切勿用整个区间上的带号积分(本题因奇对称性会得到 $0$)来代替总面积。
Q8MEDIUM 8.7 Cross Sections (Squares)8.7 截面法(正方形)No Calculator[2 marks]

The base of a solid is the region in the $xy$-plane bounded by $y=x$, $y=0$, and $x=2$. Cross sections perpendicular to the $x$-axis are squares. The volume of the solid is某立体的底面是 $xy$ 平面上由 $y=x$、$y=0$ 和 $x=2$ 所围的区域。垂直于 $x$ 轴的截面为正方形。该立体的体积为

Answer:答案: (B) $\dfrac{8}{3}$

Side length from the base, then integrate $A(x)$由底面求边长,再积分 $A(x)$ M1·A1

At each $x\in[0,2]$, the base slice runs from $y=0$ to $y=x$, so the square's side is $s(x)=x$ and $A(x)=s(x)^{2}=x^{2}$. (M1)在每个 $x\in[0,2]$ 处,底面切片从 $y=0$ 延伸到 $y=x$,故正方形边长为 $s(x)=x$,$A(x)=s(x)^{2}=x^{2}$。(M1)

$$ V=\int_{0}^{2}x^{2}\,dx=\left[\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{0}^{2}=\frac{8}{3}. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 Every cross-section volume is $\displaystyle\int A(x)\,dx$, and the entire problem is really just "find the side length as a function of $x$" followed by "square it, then integrate." Read the side length straight off the base region, it is exactly the vertical (or horizontal) span of the base at that $x$.所有截面法体积均为 $\displaystyle\int A(x)\,dx$,整道题的核心其实就是"求出边长关于 $x$ 的函数",再"平方后积分"。边长可直接由底面区域读出,即该 $x$ 处底面在竖直(或水平)方向上的跨度。
Q9HARD 8.8 Cross Sections (Triangles)8.8 截面法(三角形)No Calculator[2 marks]

The base of a solid is the region bounded by $y=\sqrt{x}$ and the $x$-axis on $[0,4]$. Cross sections perpendicular to the $x$-axis are equilateral triangles. The volume is某立体的底面是 $[0,4]$ 上由 $y=\sqrt{x}$ 与 $x$ 轴所围的区域。垂直于 $x$ 轴的截面为等边三角形。该立体的体积为

Answer:答案: (A) $2\sqrt{3}$

Equilateral-triangle area formula, then integrate套用等边三角形面积公式,再积分 M1·A1

The side length is $s(x)=\sqrt{x}$ (the base's height at $x$). An equilateral triangle of side $s$ has area $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^{2}$, so $A(x)=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\bigl(\sqrt{x}\bigr)^{2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}x$. (M1)边长为 $s(x)=\sqrt{x}$(底面在 $x$ 处的高度)。边长为 $s$ 的等边三角形面积为 $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}s^{2}$,故 $A(x)=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\bigl(\sqrt{x}\bigr)^{2}=\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}x$。(M1)

$$ V=\int_{0}^{4}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}x\,dx=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{4}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\cdot 8=2\sqrt{3}. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 The only new ingredient versus Q8 is the geometry formula for $A(x)$: memorize $\tfrac{\sqrt3}{4}s^{2}$ for equilateral triangles (Topic 8.8) alongside $s^{2}$ for squares and $\tfrac12\pi r^{2}$ for semicircles (Q18), since every cross-section question is "plug the side length into the right area formula, then integrate."与 Q8 相比唯一的新要素是 $A(x)$ 所用的几何公式:请牢记等边三角形(专题 8.8)为 $\tfrac{\sqrt3}{4}s^{2}$,正方形为 $s^{2}$,半圆(Q18)为 $\tfrac12\pi r^{2}$,因为每道截面法题目的本质都是"把边长代入正确的面积公式,再积分"。
Q10EASY 8.9 Disc Method8.9 圆盘法No Calculator[2 marks]

The region bounded by $y=\sqrt{x}$, $y=0$, and $x=4$ is revolved about the $x$-axis. The volume is由 $y=\sqrt{x}$、$y=0$ 和 $x=4$ 所围的区域绕 $x$ 轴旋转一周。体积为

Answer:答案: (B) $8\pi$

Radius touches the axis, so it is a plain disc半径边界即为旋转轴,故为单一圆盘 M1·A1

The region's lower edge $y=0$ sits on the axis of revolution, so each cross section is a full disc of radius $R(x)=\sqrt{x}$: $V=\pi\displaystyle\int_{0}^{4}\bigl(\sqrt{x}\bigr)^{2}\,dx$. (M1)区域下边界 $y=0$ 恰在旋转轴上,故每个截面都是半径为 $R(x)=\sqrt{x}$ 的完整圆盘:$V=\pi\displaystyle\int_{0}^{4}\bigl(\sqrt{x}\bigr)^{2}\,dx$。(M1)

$$ \pi\int_{0}^{4}x\,dx=\pi\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{4}=8\pi. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 The disc method is a special case of the washer method with $r=0$: it applies exactly when one boundary of the region already lies on the axis of revolution, so there is no gap and hence no hole. If the region were lifted off the axis, this would need a washer instead (Q12).圆盘法是垫圈法在 $r=0$ 时的特例:当区域的一条边界恰好落在旋转轴上时适用,此时没有间隙,也就没有孔洞。若区域离开旋转轴,则须改用垫圈法(Q12)。
Q11MEDIUM 8.10 Disc (Other Axes)8.10 圆盘法(其他轴)No Calculator[2 marks]

The region bounded by $y=x^{2}$, $y=0$, and $x=2$ is revolved about the line $y=-1$. Which integral gives the volume?由 $y=x^{2}$、$y=0$ 和 $x=2$ 所围的区域绕直线 $y=-1$ 旋转一周。下列哪个积分表示其体积?

Answer:答案: (C) $\pi\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}\bigl[(x^{2}+1)^{2}-1\bigr]\,dx$

The base $y=0$ is now off the axis, so it is a washer底边 $y=0$ 现已离开旋转轴,须用垫圈法 M1·A1

Distances to the shifted axis $y=-1$: outer radius (to $y=x^{2}$) is $R(x)=x^{2}-(-1)=x^{2}+1$; inner radius (to $y=0$) is $r(x)=0-(-1)=1$. Since $y=0$ no longer sits on the axis, there is a gap, so a washer is required, not a plain disc. (M1)到平移后旋转轴 $y=-1$ 的距离:外半径(到 $y=x^{2}$)为 $R(x)=x^{2}-(-1)=x^{2}+1$;内半径(到 $y=0$)为 $r(x)=0-(-1)=1$。因 $y=0$ 已不在轴上,存在间隙,须用垫圈法而非单一圆盘。(M1)

So $V=\pi\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}\Bigl[(x^{2}+1)^{2}-1^{2}\Bigr]\,dx$, option (C). (A1)故 $V=\pi\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}\Bigl[(x^{2}+1)^{2}-1^{2}\Bigr]\,dx$,即选项 (C)。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Shifting the axis off the region turns every disc problem into a washer problem: both radii are distances to the new axis, not the original $y$-values. Option (A) is the trap of forgetting to add $1$ (it silently assumes the axis is still $y=0$); option (D) subtracts $1$ instead of adding it, the sign error from misjudging which side of the axis the region sits on.一旦旋转轴离开区域,任何圆盘问题都会变为垫圈问题:两个半径都是到新轴的距离,而非原来的 $y$ 值。选项 (A) 的陷阱在于忘记加 $1$(其暗中假设轴仍为 $y=0$);选项 (D) 则是减 $1$ 而非加 $1$,这是误判区域相对旋转轴位置而导致的符号错误。
Q12HARD 8.11 Washer (about $x$-axis)8.11 垫圈法(绕 $x$ 轴)No Calculator[2 marks]

Let $R$ be the region enclosed by $y=x$ and $y=x^{2}$. The volume of the solid formed when $R$ is revolved about the $x$-axis is设 $R$ 为 $y=x$ 与 $y=x^{2}$ 所围的区域。将 $R$ 绕 $x$ 轴旋转一周所得立体的体积为

Answer:答案: (A) $\dfrac{2\pi}{15}$

Outer curve minus inner curve, squared外曲线减内曲线,再平方 M1·A1

From Q5, $R$ spans $x\in[0,1]$ with $y=x$ on top and $y=x^{2}$ on the bottom, both already touching the axis at their zeros. Neither boundary sits on $y=0$ throughout the interior, so this is a washer with $R(x)=x$, $r(x)=x^{2}$: (M1)由 Q5,$R$ 位于 $x\in[0,1]$,上边界为 $y=x$,下边界为 $y=x^{2}$,两者仅在零点处触及旋转轴。区间内部两边界均不落在 $y=0$ 上,故须用垫圈法,其中 $R(x)=x$,$r(x)=x^{2}$:(M1)

$$ V=\pi\int_{0}^{1}\bigl(x^{2}-x^{4}\bigr)\,dx=\pi\left[\frac{x^{3}}{3}-\frac{x^{5}}{5}\right]_{0}^{1}=\pi\left(\frac{1}{3}-\frac{1}{5}\right)=\pi\cdot\frac{2}{15}=\frac{2\pi}{15}. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 Squaring the outer and inner functions separately before subtracting is not optional: $\bigl(R(x)-r(x)\bigr)^{2}\ne R(x)^{2}-r(x)^{2}$ in general, and using the wrong one is the single most common washer-method error. Here $R(x)^2-r(x)^2=x^2-x^4$, not $(x-x^2)^2$.外、内函数须分别平方后再相减,这一步不可省略:一般情况下 $\bigl(R(x)-r(x)\bigr)^{2}\ne R(x)^{2}-r(x)^{2}$,用错公式是垫圈法中最常见的错误。本题应为 $R(x)^2-r(x)^2=x^2-x^4$,而非 $(x-x^2)^2$。
Q13HARD 8.12 Washer (Other Axes)8.12 垫圈法(其他轴)No Calculator[2 marks]

Let $R$ be the region bounded by $y=x^{2}$ and $y=4$. Which integral gives the volume of the solid generated when $R$ is revolved about the line $y=5$?设 $R$ 为 $y=x^{2}$ 与 $y=4$ 所围的区域。下列哪个积分表示将 $R$ 绕直线 $y=5$ 旋转一周所得立体的体积?

Answer:答案: (A) $\pi\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{2}\bigl[(5-x^{2})^{2}-1\bigr]\,dx$

Both boundaries lie below the axis $y=5$两条边界均位于旋转轴 $y=5$ 下方 M1·A1

Intersections: $x^{2}=4\Rightarrow x=\pm2$. Since $y=5$ lies above both $y=4$ and $y=x^{2}\le4$ on $R$, the farther boundary from the axis is the lower curve $y=x^{2}$ (outer radius $R(x)=5-x^{2}$), and the nearer boundary is $y=4$ (inner radius $r(x)=5-4=1$). (M1)交点:$x^{2}=4\Rightarrow x=\pm2$。因 $y=5$ 位于 $y=4$ 与 $R$ 上的 $y=x^{2}\le4$ 之上,离轴较远的边界是下方曲线 $y=x^{2}$(外半径 $R(x)=5-x^{2}$),较近的边界是 $y=4$(内半径 $r(x)=5-4=1$)。(M1)

So $V=\pi\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{2}\Bigl[(5-x^{2})^{2}-1^{2}\Bigr]\,dx$, option (A). (A1)故 $V=\pi\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{2}\Bigl[(5-x^{2})^{2}-1^{2}\Bigr]\,dx$,即选项 (A)。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Option (D), $\pi\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{2}(4-x^{2})^{2}\,dx$, is the classic wrong-axis slip: it squares the vertical gap between the two boundary curves, $4-x^{2}$, as if that gap were itself the radius of revolution, effectively treating the solid as revolved about $y=4$ instead of $y=5$. A washer's radii must be measured from the actual axis of revolution to each boundary, not from one boundary to the other.选项 (D),$\pi\displaystyle\int_{-2}^{2}(4-x^{2})^{2}\,dx$,是典型的"旋转轴用错"失误:它把两条边界曲线间的竖直间距 $4-x^{2}$ 直接当作旋转半径平方,相当于把该立体当成绕 $y=4$(而非 $y=5$)旋转所得。垫圈法的内外半径必须从真正的旋转轴测量到各边界,而不能取两条边界之间的距离。

Answer:答案: (B) $2040$

Left sum uses the left endpoint of each width-$2$ subinterval左黎曼和取每个宽度为 $2$ 的子区间的左端点 M1·A1

The four subintervals are $[0,2],[2,4],[4,6],[6,8]$, each of width $2$; the left sum uses $E(0),E(2),E(4),E(6)$ (drop the last value $E(8)$). (M1)四个子区间为 $[0,2],[2,4],[4,6],[6,8]$,每个宽度均为 $2$;左黎曼和使用 $E(0),E(2),E(4),E(6)$(舍去最后一个值 $E(8)$)。(M1)

$$ 2\bigl[E(0)+E(2)+E(4)+E(6)\bigr]=2(100+240+380+300)=2(1020)=2040. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 A left sum always drops the rightmost tabulated value and a right sum always drops the leftmost, the width multiplies the sum of the values used, it is not added inside each term separately. Mixing up which endpoint to drop is the most common tabular-Riemann-sum error.左黎曼和总是舍去最右侧的表格数值,右黎曼和总是舍去最左侧的数值;宽度是乘在所用数值之和上,而非分别加在每一项内。弄混该舍去哪个端点是表格黎曼和最常见的错误。

If $f(x)=4x$, the average value of $f$ on $[1,3]$ is若 $f(x)=4x$,则 $f$ 在 $[1,3]$ 上的平均值为

Answer:答案: (C) $8$

Apply the average value formula套用平均值公式 M1·A1

$b-a=3-1=2$, so: (M1)$b-a=3-1=2$,故:(M1)

$$ \frac{1}{2}\int_{1}^{3}4x\,dx=\frac{1}{2}\Bigl[2x^{2}\Bigr]_{1}^{3}=\frac{1}{2}(18-2)=\frac{1}{2}(16)=8. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 For a linear function, the average value on $[a,b]$ always equals the value at the midpoint: here $f\left(\tfrac{1+3}{2}\right)=f(2)=8$, matching the integral computation exactly. This is a fast sanity check (and a shortcut) whenever $f$ is linear.对于线性函数,其在 $[a,b]$ 上的平均值恒等于中点处的函数值:本题 $f\left(\tfrac{1+3}{2}\right)=f(2)=8$,与积分计算结果完全一致。每当 $f$ 为线性函数时,这是一个快速的自查方法(也是一条捷径)。

Position is initial value plus accumulated displacement位置等于初始值加累积位移 M1·A1

$x(2)=x(0)+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}v(t)\,dt$. (M1)$x(2)=x(0)+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}v(t)\,dt$。(M1)

$$ x(2)=2+\int_{0}^{2}\bigl(3t^{2}-6t\bigr)\,dt=2+\Bigl[t^{3}-3t^{2}\Bigr]_{0}^{2}=2+(8-12)=2-4=-2. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 This is the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus written as a physical statement: $x(b)=x(a)+\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}v(t)\,dt$. It works even though the particle moves backward for part of the trip ($v(t)<0$ on $(0,2)$), the signed integral of velocity automatically nets out direction.这正是微积分基本定理在物理情境中的表述:$x(b)=x(a)+\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}v(t)\,dt$。即使质点在部分行程中反向运动(在 $(0,2)$ 上 $v(t)<0$),该式依然成立,因为速度的带号积分会自动抵消方向的影响。

The area enclosed by $y=4-x^{2}$ and the $x$-axis is$y=4-x^{2}$ 与 $x$ 轴所围的面积为

Answer:答案: (C) $\dfrac{32}{3}$

Roots give the bounds; the parabola sits above the axis between them零点给出积分上下限,抛物线在其间位于 $x$ 轴上方 M1·A1

Roots: $4-x^{2}=0\Rightarrow x=\pm2$. On $(-2,2)$, $y=4-x^{2}\ge0$, so the "top minus bottom" integrand is simply $4-x^{2}$. (M1)零点:$4-x^{2}=0\Rightarrow x=\pm2$。在 $(-2,2)$ 上 $y=4-x^{2}\ge0$,故"上减下"的被积函数即为 $4-x^{2}$。(M1)

$$ \int_{-2}^{2}\bigl(4-x^{2}\bigr)\,dx=\left[4x-\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{-2}^{2}=\left(8-\frac{8}{3}\right)-\left(-8+\frac{8}{3}\right)=16-\frac{16}{3}=\frac{32}{3}. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 For an even function symmetric about the $y$-axis, $\displaystyle\int_{-a}^{a}f(x)\,dx=2\displaystyle\int_{0}^{a}f(x)\,dx$, a shortcut worth using to halve the arithmetic: $2\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}(4-x^{2})\,dx=2\left(8-\tfrac83\right)=\tfrac{32}{3}$, same answer with less work.对于关于 $y$ 轴对称的偶函数,$\displaystyle\int_{-a}^{a}f(x)\,dx=2\displaystyle\int_{0}^{a}f(x)\,dx$,善用此捷径可将计算量减半:$2\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}(4-x^{2})\,dx=2\left(8-\tfrac83\right)=\tfrac{32}{3}$,结果相同但计算更省力。

Answer:答案: (B) $\pi$

Diameter, not radius, is the base span底面跨度是直径而非半径 M1·A1

The diameter equals the base's height $\sqrt{x}$, so the radius is $r(x)=\dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{2}$, and $A(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}\pi r(x)^{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\pi\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{2}\right)^{2}=\dfrac{\pi x}{8}$. (M1)直径等于底面高度 $\sqrt{x}$,故半径为 $r(x)=\dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{2}$,$A(x)=\dfrac{1}{2}\pi r(x)^{2}=\dfrac{1}{2}\pi\left(\dfrac{\sqrt{x}}{2}\right)^{2}=\dfrac{\pi x}{8}$。(M1)

$$ V=\int_{0}^{4}\frac{\pi x}{8}\,dx=\frac{\pi}{8}\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{4}=\frac{\pi}{8}\cdot 8=\pi. $$

(A1)

Insight.要点。 The classic trap: "diameter in the base" means the base span IS the diameter, so it must be halved before it goes into $\pi r^{2}$. Forgetting to halve gives $4\pi$ (option D), exactly $4\times$ too large since the radius gets squared.经典陷阱:"直径在底面上"意味着底面跨度就是直径,代入 $\pi r^{2}$ 之前必须先取一半。若忘记取半,会得到 $4\pi$(选项 D),恰好偏大 $4$ 倍,因为半径被平方了。

A particle moves along the $x$-axis with velocity $v(t)=t^{2}-4t+3$ for $0\le t\le 4$. The particle is at position $x=2$ when $t=0$.一质点沿 $x$ 轴运动,速度为 $v(t)=t^{2}-4t+3$,$0\le t\le 4$。$t=0$ 时质点位于 $x=2$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\dfrac{4}{3}$  ·  (b) $\dfrac{10}{3}$  ·  (c) $\dfrac{1}{3}$  ·  (d) $4$

(a) Displacement is the signed integral of $v$(a) 位移是 $v$ 的带号积分 M1·A1

Displacement $=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{4}\bigl(t^{2}-4t+3\bigr)\,dt$. (M1)位移 $=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{4}\bigl(t^{2}-4t+3\bigr)\,dt$。(M1)

$$ \left[\frac{t^{3}}{3}-2t^{2}+3t\right]_{0}^{4}=\left(\frac{64}{3}-32+12\right)-0=\frac{64}{3}-20=\frac{4}{3}. $$

(A1)

(b) Position is initial position plus displacement(b) 位置为初始位置加位移 A1

$x(4)=x(0)+\text{displacement}=2+\dfrac{4}{3}=\dfrac{10}{3}$. (A1)$x(4)=x(0)+\text{位移}=2+\dfrac{4}{3}=\dfrac{10}{3}$。(A1)

(c) Average velocity is average value of $v$(c) 平均速度即 $v$ 的平均值 M1·A1

$\text{Average velocity}=\dfrac{1}{4-0}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{4}v(t)\,dt=\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot\dfrac{4}{3}$, reusing the displacement from (a). (M1)$\text{平均速度}=\dfrac{1}{4-0}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{4}v(t)\,dt=\dfrac{1}{4}\cdot\dfrac{4}{3}$,直接复用 (a) 中的位移。(M1)

$=\dfrac{1}{3}$. (A1)$=\dfrac{1}{3}$。(A1)

(d) Total distance: split at the sign changes of $v$(d) 总路程:在 $v$ 的变号点处拆分 M1·A1·A1

Factor: $v(t)=(t-1)(t-3)$, zero at $t=1,3$; positive on $[0,1)$, negative on $(1,3)$, positive on $(3,4]$. (M1)因式分解:$v(t)=(t-1)(t-3)$,零点为 $t=1,3$;在 $[0,1)$ 上为正,在 $(1,3)$ 上为负,在 $(3,4]$ 上为正。(M1)

Using $F(t)=\dfrac{t^{3}}{3}-2t^{2}+3t$: $F(1)=\dfrac{4}{3}$, $F(3)=0$, $F(4)=\dfrac{4}{3}$, so $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}v=\dfrac{4}{3}$, $\displaystyle\int_{1}^{3}v=0-\dfrac{4}{3}=-\dfrac{4}{3}$, $\displaystyle\int_{3}^{4}v=\dfrac{4}{3}-0=\dfrac{4}{3}$. (A1)令 $F(t)=\dfrac{t^{3}}{3}-2t^{2}+3t$:$F(1)=\dfrac{4}{3}$,$F(3)=0$,$F(4)=\dfrac{4}{3}$,故 $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}v=\dfrac{4}{3}$,$\displaystyle\int_{1}^{3}v=0-\dfrac{4}{3}=-\dfrac{4}{3}$,$\displaystyle\int_{3}^{4}v=\dfrac{4}{3}-0=\dfrac{4}{3}$。(A1)

Total distance $=\left|\dfrac{4}{3}\right|+\left|-\dfrac{4}{3}\right|+\left|\dfrac{4}{3}\right|=\dfrac{4}{3}+\dfrac{4}{3}+\dfrac{4}{3}=4$. (A1)总路程 $=\left|\dfrac{4}{3}\right|+\left|-\dfrac{4}{3}\right|+\left|\dfrac{4}{3}\right|=\dfrac{4}{3}+\dfrac{4}{3}+\dfrac{4}{3}=4$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 All four parts share one antiderivative $F(t)=\tfrac{t^{3}}{3}-2t^{2}+3t$: build it once, then reuse $F$ evaluated at the roots and endpoints for displacement, position, average velocity, and distance alike. Notice distance ($4$) exceeds $|\text{displacement}|$ $\left(\tfrac43\right)$ precisely because the particle reverses direction twice, at $t=1$ and $t=3$.四个小题共用同一个原函数 $F(t)=\tfrac{t^{3}}{3}-2t^{2}+3t$:只需构造一次,之后在各根与端点处求值,即可同时用于位移、位置、平均速度与路程。注意路程($4$)大于位移绝对值 $\left(\tfrac43\right)$,原因正是质点在 $t=1$ 与 $t=3$ 处两次改变方向。

Let $R$ be the region in the first quadrant bounded by the graphs of $y=\sin(\pi x)$ and $y=x-x^{2}$.设 $R$ 为第一象限中由 $y=\sin(\pi x)$ 与 $y=x-x^{2}$ 所围的区域。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\dfrac{2}{\pi}-\dfrac{1}{6}\approx0.470$  ·  (b) $\dfrac{7\pi}{15}\approx1.466$  ·  (c) $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\bigl[\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})\bigr]^{2}\,dx$

(a) Both curves meet only at $x=0,1$; $\sin(\pi x)$ is on top(a) 两曲线仅在 $x=0,1$ 处相交,$\sin(\pi x)$ 在上方 M1·A1

Both curves equal $0$ at $x=0$ and $x=1$, and on $(0,1)$, $\sin(\pi x)\ge x-x^{2}$ (e.g. at $x=\tfrac12$: $1>\tfrac14$). So area $=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\bigl[\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})\bigr]\,dx$. (M1)两曲线在 $x=0$ 和 $x=1$ 处均为 $0$,且在 $(0,1)$ 上 $\sin(\pi x)\ge x-x^{2}$(例如 $x=\tfrac12$ 时:$1>\tfrac14$)。故面积 $=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\bigl[\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})\bigr]\,dx$。(M1)

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\sin(\pi x)\,dx=\left[-\dfrac{\cos(\pi x)}{\pi}\right]_{0}^{1}=\dfrac{2}{\pi}$ and $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x-x^{2})\,dx=\dfrac16$, so area $=\dfrac{2}{\pi}-\dfrac16\approx0.470$. (A1)$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\sin(\pi x)\,dx=\left[-\dfrac{\cos(\pi x)}{\pi}\right]_{0}^{1}=\dfrac{2}{\pi}$,$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x-x^{2})\,dx=\dfrac16$,故面积 $=\dfrac{2}{\pi}-\dfrac16\approx0.470$。(A1)

(b) Washer about the $x$-axis(b) 绕 $x$ 轴用垫圈法 M1·M1·A1

Both curves are $\ge0$ on $[0,1]$ with $\sin(\pi x)$ on top, so $V=\pi\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\Bigl[\sin^{2}(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})^{2}\Bigr]\,dx$. (M1)两曲线在 $[0,1]$ 上均 $\ge0$,$\sin(\pi x)$ 在上方,故 $V=\pi\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\Bigl[\sin^{2}(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})^{2}\Bigr]\,dx$。(M1)

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\sin^{2}(\pi x)\,dx=\dfrac12$ (half the average of $\sin^2$ over a full period) and $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x-x^{2})^{2}\,dx=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x^{2}-2x^{3}+x^{4})\,dx=\dfrac13-\dfrac12+\dfrac15=\dfrac{1}{30}$. (M1)$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\sin^{2}(\pi x)\,dx=\dfrac12$($\sin^2$ 在整个周期上平均值的一半),$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x-x^{2})^{2}\,dx=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}(x^{2}-2x^{3}+x^{4})\,dx=\dfrac13-\dfrac12+\dfrac15=\dfrac{1}{30}$。(M1)

$V=\pi\left(\dfrac12-\dfrac1{30}\right)=\pi\cdot\dfrac{14}{30}=\dfrac{7\pi}{15}\approx1.466$. (A1)$V=\pi\left(\dfrac12-\dfrac1{30}\right)=\pi\cdot\dfrac{14}{30}=\dfrac{7\pi}{15}\approx1.466$。(A1)

(c) Square cross section: side is the vertical span of $R$, not evaluated(c) 正方形截面:边长为 $R$ 的竖直跨度,无须计算 M1·A1

At each $x\in[0,1]$, the side of the square is the region's height $\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})$, so $A(x)=\bigl[\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})\bigr]^{2}$. (M1)在每个 $x\in[0,1]$ 处,正方形的边长为区域的高度 $\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})$,故 $A(x)=\bigl[\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})\bigr]^{2}$。(M1)

$V=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\bigl[\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})\bigr]^{2}\,dx$ (left unevaluated, as instructed). (A1)$V=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\bigl[\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^{2})\bigr]^{2}\,dx$(按题目要求不需计算)。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Same region, three different volumes for three different solids: (b) squares the top and bottom curves separately (washer), (c) squares the difference (square cross section), and these are never interchangeable, $\bigl(\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^2)\bigr)^2\ne\sin^2(\pi x)-(x-x^2)^2$ in general. Always ask "is this a revolution (washer) or a stack of named cross sections?" before writing $A(x)$.同一区域对应三种不同立体的三个不同体积:(b) 将上下曲线分别平方后相减(垫圈法),(c) 将两曲线之差整体平方(正方形截面),二者绝不可互换,一般情况下 $\bigl(\sin(\pi x)-(x-x^2)\bigr)^2\ne\sin^2(\pi x)-(x-x^2)^2$。在写出 $A(x)$ 之前,务必先判断这是"旋转体(垫圈法)"还是"由指定截面堆叠而成的立体"。

Water is being pumped into a tank at a rate of $P(t)=20+5\sin(t/2)$ gallons per minute. At the same time, water is leaking out at a rate of $L(t)=2+0.5t$ gallons per minute, for $0\le t\le 30$. At time $t=0$, the tank contains $400$ gallons of water.水以 $P(t)=20+5\sin(t/2)$ 加仑/分钟的速率泵入水箱,同时以 $L(t)=2+0.5t$ 加仑/分钟的速率漏出,$0\le t\le 30$。$t=0$ 时水箱中有 $400$ 加仑水。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\approx617.60$ gal加仑  ·  (b) $400+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{t}\bigl[P(s)-L(s)\bigr]\,ds$  ·  (c) $\approx732.60$ gal加仑  ·  (d) increasing增加

(a) Total pumped in is $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{30}P(t)\,dt$(a) 总泵入量为 $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{30}P(t)\,dt$ M1·A1

Only $P$ (not the net rate) counts water pumped in: $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{30}\bigl[20+5\sin(t/2)\bigr]\,dt=\Bigl[20t-10\cos(t/2)\Bigr]_{0}^{30}$. (M1)只有 $P$(而非净变化率)计入泵入的水量:$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{30}\bigl[20+5\sin(t/2)\bigr]\,dt=\Bigl[20t-10\cos(t/2)\Bigr]_{0}^{30}$。(M1)

$=(600-10\cos15)-(0-10\cos0)=610-10\cos15\approx610+7.60=617.60$ gallons. (A1)$=(600-10\cos15)-(0-10\cos0)=610-10\cos15\approx610+7.60=617.60$ 加仑。(A1)

(b) Amount is initial plus accumulated net rate(b) 水量为初始值加累积净变化率 M1·A1

The net rate of change of the amount is $P(t)-L(t)$, so by the accumulation-function idea: (M1)水量的净变化率为 $P(t)-L(t)$,由累积函数思想可得:(M1)

$\text{Amount}(t)=400+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{t}\bigl[P(s)-L(s)\bigr]\,ds=400+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{t}\Bigl[18+5\sin(s/2)-0.5s\Bigr]\,ds$. (A1)$\text{水量}(t)=400+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{t}\bigl[P(s)-L(s)\bigr]\,ds=400+\displaystyle\int_{0}^{t}\Bigl[18+5\sin(s/2)-0.5s\Bigr]\,ds$。(A1)

(c) Evaluate the expression from (b) at $t=30$(c) 将 (b) 中的表达式在 $t=30$ 处求值 M1·A1

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{30}\Bigl[18+5\sin(s/2)-0.5s\Bigr]\,ds=\Bigl[18s-10\cos(s/2)-0.25s^{2}\Bigr]_{0}^{30}=(540-10\cos15-225)-(-10)=325-10\cos15$. (M1)$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{30}\Bigl[18+5\sin(s/2)-0.5s\Bigr]\,ds=\Bigl[18s-10\cos(s/2)-0.25s^{2}\Bigr]_{0}^{30}=(540-10\cos15-225)-(-10)=325-10\cos15$。(M1)

$\text{Amount}(30)=400+325-10\cos15\approx725+7.60=732.60$ gallons. (A1)$\text{水量}(30)=400+325-10\cos15\approx725+7.60=732.60$ 加仑。(A1)

(d) Compare $P(15)$ and $L(15)$(d) 比较 $P(15)$ 与 $L(15)$ A1·R1

$P(15)=20+5\sin(7.5)\approx24.69$ and $L(15)=2+0.5(15)=9.5$, so $P(15)-L(15)\approx15.19$. (A1)$P(15)=20+5\sin(7.5)\approx24.69$,$L(15)=2+0.5(15)=9.5$,故 $P(15)-L(15)\approx15.19$。(A1)

Since the rate of change of the amount is $P(t)-L(t)$ and this is positive at $t=15$, the amount of water in the tank is increasing at $t=15$. (R1)因水量的变化率为 $P(t)-L(t)$,且该值在 $t=15$ 处为正,故 $t=15$ 时水箱中的水量正在增加。(R1)

Insight.要点。 This is the "in minus out" accumulation pattern: total pumped in (a) uses $P$ alone, but the amount at any time (b, c) uses the net rate $P-L$, and increasing/decreasing (d) is answered by the sign of that same net rate, never by comparing amounts at two different times. Confusing "how much flowed in" with "how much is in the tank" is the single most common error on this problem type.这是典型的"流入减流出"累积模式:总泵入量 (a) 只用 $P$,而任意时刻的水量 (b、c) 须用净变化率 $P-L$,增减性 (d) 则由这一净变化率的符号判定,而非比较两个不同时刻的水量。混淆"流入了多少"与"水箱中现有多少"是此类题目最常见的错误。

The bounds $\pm\sqrt{\ln2}$ never change across (a)-(d), only the integrand does, so find the intersection once and reuse it every time.同一区域对应四种不同设置:只有 (a) 需要给出数值,因为"建立但不需计算"是明确要求把积分保留为所建立的形式。积分上下限 $\pm\sqrt{\ln2}$ 在 (a) 至 (d) 中始终不变,变化的只是被积函数,因此只需求一次交点,之后反复使用即可。

With four subintervals of width $3$: $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}v(t)\,dt\approx\dfrac{3}{2}\Bigl[v(0)+2v(3)+2v(6)+2v(9)+v(12)\Bigr]$. (M1)用四个宽度为 $3$ 的子区间:$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}v(t)\,dt\approx\dfrac{3}{2}\Bigl[v(0)+2v(3)+2v(6)+2v(9)+v(12)\Bigr]$。(M1)

$=\dfrac32\bigl[0+24+40+30+6\bigr]=\dfrac32(100)=150$, so $\dfrac{1}{12}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}v(t)\,dt\approx\dfrac{150}{12}=12.5$. (A1)$=\dfrac32\bigl[0+24+40+30+6\bigr]=\dfrac32(100)=150$,故 $\dfrac{1}{12}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}v(t)\,dt\approx\dfrac{150}{12}=12.5$。(A1)

This value approximates the average velocity of the car, in meters per second, over $[0,12]$. (R1)该值近似汽车在 $[0,12]$ 上的平均速度(单位:米/秒)。(R1)

(c) Interior extremum forces zero acceleration(c) 内部极值点必使加速度为零 M1·A1·R1

$v$ is differentiable on $[3,9]$, hence continuous there, so by the Extreme Value Theorem $v$ attains a maximum on $[3,9]$. (M1)$v$ 在 $[3,9]$ 上可微,故在此连续,由极值定理知 $v$ 在 $[3,9]$ 上取得最大值。(M1)

$v(6)=20$ exceeds both endpoint values $v(3)=12$ and $v(9)=15$, so the maximum on $[3,9]$ cannot occur at an endpoint, it must occur at some interior point $c\in(3,9)$. (A1)$v(6)=20$ 大于两个端点值 $v(3)=12$ 与 $v(9)=15$,故 $[3,9]$ 上的最大值不可能在端点处取得,必在某内部点 $c\in(3,9)$ 处取得。(A1)

Since $v$ is differentiable at the interior maximum $c$, Fermat's theorem gives $v'(c)=0$: yes, a time with zero acceleration must exist on $(3,9)$. (R1)因 $v$ 在内部最大值点 $c$ 处可微,由费马定理得 $v'(c)=0$:即在 $(3,9)$ 上必定存在某一时刻,加速度为零。(R1)

(d) Trapezoids under a concave-down curve sit below it(d) 凹函数下方的梯形位于曲线下方 M1·R1

On a concave-down interval, the chord connecting two points on the graph of $v$ lies below the graph, so each trapezoid underestimates the area under $v$ on that subinterval. (M1)在凹函数区间上,连接 $v$ 图像上两点的弦位于图像下方,故该子区间上每个梯形都低估了 $v$ 下方的面积。(M1)

Since the trapezoidal sum underestimates $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}v(t)\,dt$ and average velocity is that integral divided by the positive constant $12$, part (b)'s trapezoidal approximation is an underestimate of the true average velocity. (R1)因梯形和低估了 $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{12}v(t)\,dt$,而平均速度即该积分除以正常数 $12$,故 (b) 中的梯形近似值低估了真实的平均速度。(R1)

Insight.要点。 Parts (a)-(b) are both Riemann-sum machinery, only the weighting changes, midpoint uses interior samples with full-width weight, trapezoidal averages the two endpoints of each strip. Part (c) needs no continuity of $v'$ at all: Extreme Value Theorem plus Fermat's Theorem is the rigorous route whenever a table shows a value strictly bracketed above its neighbors. Part (d) is the concavity/trapezoidal-error rule from Unit 6, restated for velocity: concave down means trapezoidal underestimates, concave up means it overestimates.(a)、(b) 两小题都是黎曼和的应用,区别仅在于权重方式:中点法用内部采样点并赋予全宽权重,梯形法则对每一小段的两端点取平均。(c) 小题完全不需要 $v'$ 连续这一条件:只要表格中某值严格高于其左右相邻值,极值定理加费马定理便是严谨的解法。(d) 小题是第6单元中"凹凸性与梯形误差"规则在速度情境下的重述:下凹则梯形低估,上凹则梯形高估。
