Q1EASY 9.1 Parametric Slope9.1 参数曲线斜率No Calculator[2 marks]

A curve is defined by $x(t) = t^{3}$ and $y(t) = t^{2} + 5t$. Find $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$ at $t = 1$.曲线由 $x(t) = t^{3}$ 与 $y(t) = t^{2} + 5t$ 定义。求 $t = 1$ 时的 $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$。

Answer:答案: (A) $\dfrac{7}{3}$

Differentiate each component, then divide分别求导,再相除 M1·A1

$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 3t^{2}$ and $\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 2t+5$, so $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{2t+5}{3t^{2}}$. (M1)$\dfrac{dx}{dt} = 3t^{2}$,$\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 2t+5$,故 $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{2t+5}{3t^{2}}$。(M1)

At $t=1$: $\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{2(1)+5}{3(1)^{2}} = \dfrac{7}{3}$. (A1)当 $t=1$ 时:$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{2(1)+5}{3(1)^{2}} = \dfrac{7}{3}$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 The slope of a parametric curve is the ratio $\frac{dy}{dt}\div\frac{dx}{dt}$, never either derivative alone. The single most common way to lose this mark is computing both derivatives correctly and then forgetting to divide.参数曲线的斜率是比值 $\frac{dy}{dt}\div\frac{dx}{dt}$,绝不是其中任何一个导数本身。丢分最常见的原因是两个导数都算对了,却忘记相除。
Q2MEDIUM 9.1 Horizontal Tangents9.1 水平切线No Calculator[2 marks]

$x(t) = t^{2}-4t$, $y(t)=t^{3}-3t$. At which value(s) of $t$ does the curve have a horizontal tangent?$x(t) = t^{2}-4t$,$y(t)=t^{3}-3t$。曲线在哪个(些)$t$ 值处有水平切线?

Answer:答案: (A) $t=-1,\ 1$

Set $\frac{dy}{dt}=0$, then confirm $\frac{dx}{dt}\ne 0$令 $\frac{dy}{dt}=0$,再验证 $\frac{dx}{dt}\ne 0$ M1·A1

$\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 3t^{2}-3 = 0 \Rightarrow t^{2}=1 \Rightarrow t=\pm 1$. (M1)$\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 3t^{2}-3 = 0 \Rightarrow t^{2}=1 \Rightarrow t=\pm 1$。(M1)

Check $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2t-4$ at each: at $t=1$, $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-2\ne 0$; at $t=-1$, $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-6\ne 0$. Both give valid horizontal tangents, so $t=-1,1$. (A1)检验 $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2t-4$:在 $t=1$ 处,$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-2\ne 0$;在 $t=-1$ 处,$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-6\ne 0$。两者均为有效水平切线,故 $t=-1,1$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Setting $\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ is only half the test: if $\frac{dx}{dt}$ were also $0$ at that same $t$, the point would be a cusp or undefined direction, not a genuine horizontal tangent. Always check the other derivative before declaring the tangent type.令 $\frac{dy}{dt}=0$ 只是检验的一半:若同一 $t$ 值处 $\frac{dx}{dt}$ 也为 $0$,则该点是尖点或方向未定义,而非真正的水平切线。判断切线类型前务必检验另一个导数。
Q3MEDIUM 9.2 Second Derivative9.2 二阶导数No Calculator[2 marks]

$x(t) = t^{3}$, $y(t) = t^{2}$. Find $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}$ at $t=1$.$x(t) = t^{3}$,$y(t) = t^{2}$。求 $t=1$ 时的 $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}$。

Answer:答案: (A) $-\dfrac{2}{9}$

Three-step process: $\frac{dy}{dx}$, differentiate w.r.t. $t$, divide by $\frac{dx}{dt}$ again三步流程:求 $\frac{dy}{dx}$、对 $t$ 求导、再除以 $\frac{dx}{dt}$ M1·A1

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{dy/dt}{dx/dt} = \dfrac{2t}{3t^{2}} = \dfrac{2}{3t}$. Differentiating w.r.t. $t$: $\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac{2}{3t}\right] = -\dfrac{2}{3t^{2}}$. (M1)$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{dy/dt}{dx/dt} = \dfrac{2t}{3t^{2}} = \dfrac{2}{3t}$。对 $t$ 求导:$\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac{2}{3t}\right] = -\dfrac{2}{3t^{2}}$。(M1)

Divide by $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=3t^{2}$: $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = \dfrac{-2/(3t^{2})}{3t^{2}} = -\dfrac{2}{9t^{4}}$. At $t=1$: $-\dfrac{2}{9}$. (A1)再除以 $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=3t^{2}$:$\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}} = \dfrac{-2/(3t^{2})}{3t^{2}} = -\dfrac{2}{9t^{4}}$。当 $t=1$ 时:$-\dfrac{2}{9}$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Never compute $\frac{d^{2}y/dt^{2}}{d^{2}x/dt^{2}}$ directly, that is the single biggest trap in this unit. The correct chain always has three links: build $\frac{dy}{dx}$ as a function of $t$ first, differentiate that whole expression with respect to $t$, then divide by $\frac{dx}{dt}$ one more time.切勿直接计算 $\frac{d^{2}y/dt^{2}}{d^{2}x/dt^{2}}$,这是本单元最大的陷阱。正确的链条始终有三步:先把 $\frac{dy}{dx}$ 写成关于 $t$ 的函数,再对整个表达式关于 $t$ 求导,最后再除以一次 $\frac{dx}{dt}$。
Q4HARD 9.2 Concavity9.2 凹凸性No Calculator[3 marks]

$x(t) = t^{2}+1$, $y(t) = t^{3}-12t$. Determine the concavity of the curve at $t=2$.$x(t) = t^{2}+1$,$y(t) = t^{3}-12t$。判断曲线在 $t=2$ 处的凹凸性。

Answer:答案: (A) concave up凹向上, $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\dfrac{3}{4}$

Build $\frac{dy}{dx}$, differentiate, then divide once more建立 $\frac{dy}{dx}$,求导,再除一次 M1·M1·A1

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{3t^{2}-12}{2t}$. (M1)$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{3t^{2}-12}{2t}$。(M1)

Simplify: $\dfrac{3t^{2}-12}{2t} = \dfrac{3t}{2}-\dfrac{6}{t}$, so $\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac{3t}{2}-\dfrac{6}{t}\right] = \dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{6}{t^{2}}$. (M1)化简:$\dfrac{3t^{2}-12}{2t} = \dfrac{3t}{2}-\dfrac{6}{t}$,故 $\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac{3t}{2}-\dfrac{6}{t}\right] = \dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{6}{t^{2}}$。(M1)

At $t=2$: numerator $=\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{6}{4}=3$. Divide by $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2t=4$: $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\dfrac{3}{4}>0$, so the curve is concave up. (A1)当 $t=2$ 时:分子 $=\dfrac{3}{2}+\dfrac{6}{4}=3$。除以 $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2t=4$:$\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\dfrac{3}{4}>0$,故曲线凹向上。(A1)

Insight.要点。 A common way to lose the final mark is stopping after the second step and reporting $\frac{3}{2}+\frac{6}{t^2}$ itself as the second derivative, that quantity is $\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)$, not $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$, until it is divided by $\frac{dx}{dt}$ one final time.最容易丢的一分是在第二步后就停下,把 $\frac{3}{2}+\frac{6}{t^2}$ 当作二阶导数本身,但那只是 $\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)$,必须再除以一次 $\frac{dx}{dt}$ 才是真正的 $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$。
Q5EASY 9.3 Arc Length Setup9.3 弧长积分设置No Calculator[2 marks]

Which integral gives the arc length of $x(t) = t^{2}$, $y(t) = t^{3}$ for $0\le t\le 1$?下列哪个积分表示曲线 $x(t) = t^{2}$、$y(t) = t^{3}$ 在 $0\le t\le 1$ 上的弧长?

Answer:答案: (A) $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{4t^{2}+9t^{4}}\,dt$

Differentiate each component, square, add, and root分别求导、平方、相加后开方 M1·A1

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2t$, $\dfrac{dy}{dt}=3t^{2}$, so the arc-length integrand is $\sqrt{(2t)^{2}+(3t^{2})^{2}} = \sqrt{4t^{2}+9t^{4}}$. (M1)$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=2t$,$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=3t^{2}$,故弧长被积函数为 $\sqrt{(2t)^{2}+(3t^{2})^{2}} = \sqrt{4t^{2}+9t^{4}}$。(M1)

This matches option (A). (A1)与选项 (A) 一致。(A1)

Insight.要点。 The square root of a sum is never the sum of square roots, that is exactly what option (D) tempts you into. Always square and add inside a single radical before evaluating.和的平方根绝不等于平方根的和,选项 (D) 正是这一陷阱。务必先在同一个根号内完成平方与相加,再求值。
Q6MEDIUM 9.3 Arc Length9.3 弧长Calculator[2 marks]

Find the length of $x(t) = 3\cos t$, $y(t) = 3\sin t$ for $0\le t\le \dfrac{\pi}{2}$.求曲线 $x(t) = 3\cos t$、$y(t) = 3\sin t$ 在 $0\le t\le \dfrac{\pi}{2}$ 上的弧长。

Answer:答案: (A) $\dfrac{3\pi}{2}$

Simplify the integrand with the Pythagorean identity用勾股恒等式化简被积函数 M1·A1

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-3\sin t$, $\dfrac{dy}{dt}=3\cos t$, so the integrand is $\sqrt{9\sin^{2}t+9\cos^{2}t} = \sqrt{9}=3$ (since $\sin^{2}t+\cos^{2}t=1$). (M1)$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=-3\sin t$,$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=3\cos t$,故被积函数为 $\sqrt{9\sin^{2}t+9\cos^{2}t} = \sqrt{9}=3$(因 $\sin^{2}t+\cos^{2}t=1$)。(M1)

$L=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/2}3\,dt = 3\cdot\dfrac{\pi}{2}=\dfrac{3\pi}{2}$. (A1)$L=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/2}3\,dt = 3\cdot\dfrac{\pi}{2}=\dfrac{3\pi}{2}$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Any circular parametrization $x=R\cos t,\,y=R\sin t$ has constant speed $R$, so its arc length is just $R$ times the angle swept, here $\left(3\right)\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\frac{3\pi}{2}$, which is also exactly one quarter of the full circumference $2\pi(3)=6\pi$. Use this shortcut to sanity-check any circular arc-length answer instantly.任何圆的参数化 $x=R\cos t,\,y=R\sin t$ 速率恒为 $R$,因此弧长就是 $R$ 乘以扫过的角度,此处为 $\left(3\right)\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right)=\frac{3\pi}{2}$,恰好是整圆周长 $2\pi(3)=6\pi$ 的四分之一。可用此捷径快速检验任何圆弧弧长答案。
Q7EASY 9.4 Vector Derivative9.4 向量值函数求导No Calculator[2 marks]

$\mathbf{r}(t) = \langle t^{2}, \ln t\rangle$. Find $\mathbf{r}'(t)$.$\mathbf{r}(t) = \langle t^{2}, \ln t\rangle$。求 $\mathbf{r}'(t)$。

Answer:答案: (A) $\left\langle 2t, \dfrac{1}{t}\right\rangle$

Differentiate component-wise按分量逐一求导 M1·A1

$\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[t^{2}\right]=2t$. (M1)$\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[t^{2}\right]=2t$。(M1)

$\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\ln t\right]=\dfrac{1}{t}$, so $\mathbf{r}'(t) = \left\langle 2t, \dfrac{1}{t}\right\rangle$. (A1)$\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\ln t\right]=\dfrac{1}{t}$,故 $\mathbf{r}'(t) = \left\langle 2t, \dfrac{1}{t}\right\rangle$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Differentiating (and integrating) a vector-valued function is entirely component-wise, no product or chain rule ever crosses between the two entries. This is what makes vector calculus of curves mechanically identical to running single-variable calculus twice, in parallel.向量值函数的求导(以及积分)完全按分量进行,两个分量之间绝不会出现乘积法则或链式法则的交叉。这正是曲线的向量微积分在机械操作上等同于并行地做两次一元微积分的原因。
Q8MEDIUM 9.4 Tangent Vector9.4 切向量No Calculator[2 marks]

$\mathbf{r}'(2) = \langle 0, 5\rangle$. What does this tell you about the curve at $t=2$?$\mathbf{r}'(2) = \langle 0, 5\rangle$。这说明曲线在 $t=2$ 处具有怎样的性质?

Answer:答案: (A) vertical tangent line竖直切线

Read the tangent direction from the zero component从零分量读出切线方向 M1·A1

The tangent vector's $x$-component is $0$ while its $y$-component is $5\ne 0$, so the direction of motion at $t=2$ is purely vertical (no horizontal component). (M1)切向量的 $x$ 分量为 $0$,而 $y$ 分量为 $5\ne 0$,故 $t=2$ 处运动方向纯为竖直(无水平分量)。(M1)

This matches the vertical-tangent criterion $\frac{dx}{dt}=0$ with $\frac{dy}{dt}\ne 0$, so the curve has a vertical tangent line at $t=2$. (A1)这正是竖直切线的判据 $\frac{dx}{dt}=0$ 且 $\frac{dy}{dt}\ne 0$,故曲线在 $t=2$ 处有竖直切线。(A1)

Insight.要点。 This is exactly the parametric horizontal/vertical tangent criterion from 9.1 restated in vector notation: $\mathbf{r}'(t)$ literally is the vector $\langle dx/dt, dy/dt\rangle$, so a zero component is a shortcut for reading off tangent direction without ever forming the ratio $\frac{dy}{dx}$.这正是 9.1 节水平/竖直切线判据在向量记号下的重述:$\mathbf{r}'(t)$ 本身就是向量 $\langle dx/dt, dy/dt\rangle$,某分量为零是判断切线方向的捷径,无需构造比值 $\frac{dy}{dx}$。
Q9MEDIUM 9.5 Vector IVP9.5 向量初值问题No Calculator[2 marks]

$\mathbf{r}'(t) = \langle 4t, 2e^{2t}\rangle$, $\mathbf{r}(0) = \langle -1, 3\rangle$. Find $x(1)$.$\mathbf{r}'(t) = \langle 4t, 2e^{2t}\rangle$,$\mathbf{r}(0) = \langle -1, 3\rangle$。求 $x(1)$。

Answer:答案: (A) $1$

Integrate the $x$-component and apply the initial condition对 $x$ 分量积分并代入初始条件 M1·A1

$\int 4t\,dt = 2t^{2}+C_{1}$, so $x(t) = 2t^{2}+C_{1}$; applying $x(0)=0+C_{1}=-1$ gives $C_{1}=-1$, so $x(t)=2t^{2}-1$. (M1)$\int 4t\,dt = 2t^{2}+C_{1}$,故 $x(t) = 2t^{2}+C_{1}$;代入 $x(0)=0+C_{1}=-1$ 得 $C_{1}=-1$,故 $x(t)=2t^{2}-1$。(M1)

$x(1) = 2(1)^{2}-1=1$. (A1)$x(1) = 2(1)^{2}-1=1$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Because integration of a vector-valued function is component-wise, a question about $x(1)$ alone never requires solving for the $y$-component's constant. Isolate the relevant component immediately and skip the unneeded half of the work.由于向量值函数的积分按分量进行,仅涉及 $x(1)$ 的问题完全不需要求解 $y$ 分量的常数。应立即分离出所需分量,跳过不必要的那一半计算。
Q10EASY 9.5 Vector Integral9.5 向量值函数积分No Calculator[2 marks]

$\displaystyle\int \langle 3t^{2}, \cos t\rangle\,dt =$

Answer:答案: (A) $\langle t^{3}, \sin t\rangle + \mathbf{C}$

Integrate each component separately分别对每个分量积分 M1·A1

$\int 3t^{2}\,dt = t^{3}+C_{1}$. (M1)$\int 3t^{2}\,dt = t^{3}+C_{1}$。(M1)

$\int \cos t\,dt = \sin t + C_{2}$, so the integral is $\langle t^{3}, \sin t\rangle + \mathbf{C}$. (A1)$\int \cos t\,dt = \sin t + C_{2}$,故积分为 $\langle t^{3}, \sin t\rangle + \mathbf{C}$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 The constant of integration for a vector-valued function is itself a vector $\mathbf{C}=\langle C_1,C_2\rangle$, not a single scalar. Writing a scalar $+C$ loses the two independent degrees of freedom you would need to solve a vector IVP.向量值函数的积分常数本身是一个向量 $\mathbf{C}=\langle C_1,C_2\rangle$,而非单个标量。写成标量 $+C$ 会丢失求解向量初值问题所需的两个独立自由度。
Q11EASY 9.6 Speed9.6 速率No Calculator[2 marks]

A particle moves with velocity $\mathbf{v}(t) = \langle 5, 12\rangle$. What is the particle's speed?质点以速度 $\mathbf{v}(t) = \langle 5, 12\rangle$ 运动,其速率是多少?

Answer:答案: (A) $13$

Speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector速率是速度向量的模 M1·A1

$|\mathbf{v}(t)| = \sqrt{5^{2}+12^{2}} = \sqrt{25+144} = \sqrt{169}$. (M1)$|\mathbf{v}(t)| = \sqrt{5^{2}+12^{2}} = \sqrt{25+144} = \sqrt{169}$。(M1)

$=13$. (A1)$=13$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 $5$-$12$-$13$ is a Pythagorean triple worth recognizing instantly. More generally, speed squares and adds the components under a root, it never adds the components directly, that shortcut is exactly what distractor (D) tempts you into.$5$-$12$-$13$ 是值得立即识别的勾股数组。更一般地,速率是把分量平方后在根号下相加,绝不能直接把分量相加,干扰项 (D) 正是利用了这一点。
Q12MEDIUM 9.6 Displacement9.6 位移No Calculator[2 marks]

$\mathbf{v}(t) = \langle 2, 3t^{2}-3\rangle$, $\mathbf{r}(0) = \langle 0,0\rangle$. Find the displacement vector on $[0,2]$.$\mathbf{v}(t) = \langle 2, 3t^{2}-3\rangle$,$\mathbf{r}(0) = \langle 0,0\rangle$。求质点在 $[0,2]$ 上的位移向量。

Answer:答案: (A) $\langle 4, 2\rangle$

Integrate each component of velocity over $[0,2]$在 $[0,2]$ 上分别对速度的每个分量积分 M1·A1

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2} 2\,dt = 4$ and $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2} (3t^{2}-3)\,dt = \left[t^{3}-3t\right]_{0}^{2} = (8-6)-0 = 2$. (M1)$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2} 2\,dt = 4$,$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2} (3t^{2}-3)\,dt = \left[t^{3}-3t\right]_{0}^{2} = (8-6)-0 = 2$。(M1)

Displacement $= \langle 4, 2\rangle$. (A1)位移 $= \langle 4, 2\rangle$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Displacement is the definite integral of velocity, a vector, and it is independent of the initial position $\mathbf{r}(0)$: $\mathbf{r}(0)$ was never used in the computation, since displacement measures net change, not final position. This is the vector analogue of "definite integral of velocity gives net change in position" from Unit 8.位移是速度的定积分(一个向量),与初始位置 $\mathbf{r}(0)$ 无关:计算过程中根本没用到 $\mathbf{r}(0)$,因为位移衡量的是净变化,而非最终位置。这正是第八单元"速度的定积分给出位置净变化"这一思想在向量情形下的对应。
Q13HARD 9.6 Speed Increasing/Decreasing9.6 速率增减No Calculator[2 marks]

$\mathbf{v}(t) = \langle 3, t^{2}-4\rangle$. Is the particle's speed increasing or decreasing at $t=1$?$\mathbf{v}(t) = \langle 3, t^{2}-4\rangle$。质点在 $t=1$ 时速率是增加还是减小?

Answer:答案: (A) decreasing减小

Compute $\mathbf{a}(t)$, then the dot product $\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1)$先求 $\mathbf{a}(t)$,再求点积 $\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1)$ M1·A1

$\mathbf{a}(t) = \mathbf{v}'(t) = \langle 0, 2t\rangle$. At $t=1$: $\mathbf{v}(1) = \langle 3, -3\rangle$, $\mathbf{a}(1) = \langle 0, 2\rangle$. (M1)$\mathbf{a}(t) = \mathbf{v}'(t) = \langle 0, 2t\rangle$。当 $t=1$ 时:$\mathbf{v}(1) = \langle 3, -3\rangle$,$\mathbf{a}(1) = \langle 0, 2\rangle$。(M1)

$\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1) = (3)(0)+(-3)(2) = -6 < 0$, so the speed is decreasing at $t=1$. (A1)$\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1) = (3)(0)+(-3)(2) = -6 < 0$,故 $t=1$ 时速率减小。(A1)

Insight.要点。 The sign of $\mathbf{v}\cdot\mathbf{a}$ tells you about speed (a scalar), while $\mathbf{a}(t)$ itself tells you about the direction the velocity is turning, two different pieces of information from the same acceleration vector. This dot-product test is the vector generalization of "$v$ and $a$ share a sign $\Rightarrow$ speeding up" from one-dimensional motion.$\mathbf{v}\cdot\mathbf{a}$ 的符号反映的是速率(一个标量),而 $\mathbf{a}(t)$ 本身反映的是速度转向的方向,同一个加速度向量给出了两种不同的信息。这一点积判据正是一维运动中"$v$ 与 $a$ 同号 $\Rightarrow$ 加速"这一思想在向量情形下的推广。
Q14MEDIUM 9.7 Polar Slope9.7 极坐标斜率No Calculator[2 marks]

$r(\theta) = 2+2\cos\theta$. Find $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$ at $\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$.$r(\theta) = 2+2\cos\theta$。求 $\theta=\dfrac{\pi}{2}$ 处的 $\dfrac{dy}{dx}$。

Answer:答案: (A) $1$

Evaluate $f$, $f'$, then the slope formula求出 $f$、$f'$,再代入斜率公式 M1·A1

$f(\theta)=2+2\cos\theta$, $f'(\theta)=-2\sin\theta$. At $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$: $f=2$, $f'=-2$. Numerator $=f'\sin\theta+f\cos\theta = (-2)(1)+(2)(0)=-2$. Denominator $=f'\cos\theta-f\sin\theta=(-2)(0)-(2)(1)=-2$. (M1)$f(\theta)=2+2\cos\theta$,$f'(\theta)=-2\sin\theta$。当 $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ 时:$f=2$,$f'=-2$。分子 $=f'\sin\theta+f\cos\theta = (-2)(1)+(2)(0)=-2$;分母 $=f'\cos\theta-f\sin\theta=(-2)(0)-(2)(1)=-2$。(M1)

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{-2}{-2} = 1$. (A1)$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{-2}{-2} = 1$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 At $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$, $\cos\theta=0$, so several terms in the general polar-slope formula vanish immediately. Spotting these special angles before grinding through the full algebra saves real time on the exam.在 $\theta=\frac{\pi}{2}$ 处 $\cos\theta=0$,极坐标斜率通式中的多项因此立即消失。考试中先识别这些特殊角,能省下大量代数运算时间。
Q15HARD 9.7 Polar Tangents9.7 极坐标切线Calculator[4 marks]

How many points on $r = 1+\cos\theta$, for $0\le\theta<2\pi$, have a vertical tangent line?心脏线 $r = 1+\cos\theta$($0\le\theta<2\pi$)上有多少个点具有竖直切线?

Answer:答案: (C) $3$

Solve $\frac{dx}{d\theta}=0$, then exclude any point where $\frac{dy}{d\theta}$ is also $0$解 $\frac{dx}{d\theta}=0$,再排除 $\frac{dy}{d\theta}$ 同时为零的点 M1·M1·M1·A1

$x=(1+\cos\theta)\cos\theta=\cos\theta+\cos^{2}\theta$, so $\dfrac{dx}{d\theta}=-\sin\theta-2\sin\theta\cos\theta=-\sin\theta(1+2\cos\theta)$. (M1)$x=(1+\cos\theta)\cos\theta=\cos\theta+\cos^{2}\theta$,故 $\dfrac{dx}{d\theta}=-\sin\theta-2\sin\theta\cos\theta=-\sin\theta(1+2\cos\theta)$。(M1)

Setting $\dfrac{dx}{d\theta}=0$: $\sin\theta=0 \Rightarrow \theta=0,\pi$; or $\cos\theta=-\tfrac12 \Rightarrow \theta=\tfrac{2\pi}{3},\tfrac{4\pi}{3}$. (M1)令 $\dfrac{dx}{d\theta}=0$:$\sin\theta=0 \Rightarrow \theta=0,\pi$;或 $\cos\theta=-\tfrac12 \Rightarrow \theta=\tfrac{2\pi}{3},\tfrac{4\pi}{3}$。(M1)

$y=(1+\cos\theta)\sin\theta$ gives $\dfrac{dy}{d\theta}=\cos\theta+\cos 2\theta$. At $\theta=0$: $1+1=2\ne 0$ (valid). At $\theta=\pi$: $-1+1=0$ also, this is the pole $r=0$, a degenerate cusp, not a genuine vertical tangent, excluded. At $\theta=\tfrac{2\pi}{3},\tfrac{4\pi}{3}$: $-\tfrac12-\tfrac12=-1\ne 0$ (both valid). (M1)$y=(1+\cos\theta)\sin\theta$ 给出 $\dfrac{dy}{d\theta}=\cos\theta+\cos 2\theta$。在 $\theta=0$:$1+1=2\ne 0$(有效)。在 $\theta=\pi$:$-1+1=0$ 也为零,此为极点 $r=0$ 处的退化尖点,并非真正的竖直切线,予以排除。在 $\theta=\tfrac{2\pi}{3},\tfrac{4\pi}{3}$:$-\tfrac12-\tfrac12=-1\ne 0$(均有效)。(M1)

Three genuine vertical tangent points remain: $\theta=0,\ \tfrac{2\pi}{3},\ \tfrac{4\pi}{3}$. (A1)剩下三个真正的竖直切线点:$\theta=0,\ \tfrac{2\pi}{3},\ \tfrac{4\pi}{3}$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Whenever $\frac{dx}{d\theta}=0$ and $\frac{dy}{d\theta}=0$ simultaneously, as at $\theta=\pi$ here, the vertical-tangent test is inconclusive. That point is typically the pole of the curve, where it pinches to the origin and needs a separate limit argument rather than the standard formula.每当 $\frac{dx}{d\theta}=0$ 与 $\frac{dy}{d\theta}=0$ 同时成立时(如此处 $\theta=\pi$),竖直切线检验将无法判定。该点通常是曲线的极点,曲线在此收缩至原点,需要单独用极限论证,而非套用标准公式。

What is the area enclosed by $r=5$ for $0\le\theta\le 2\pi$?极坐标曲线 $r=5$ 在 $0\le\theta\le 2\pi$ 上所围的面积是多少?

Answer:答案: (A) $25\pi$

Apply the polar area formula directly直接套用极坐标面积公式 M1·A1

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2\pi}(5)^{2}\,d\theta = \dfrac{1}{2}(25)(2\pi)$. (M1)$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2\pi}(5)^{2}\,d\theta = \dfrac{1}{2}(25)(2\pi)$。(M1)

$=25\pi$. (A1)$=25\pi$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Checking against $\pi r^{2}=\pi(5)^{2}=25\pi$ confirms the polar area formula reduces to the familiar circle formula whenever $r$ is constant, a fast sanity check for any polar area answer.对照 $\pi r^{2}=\pi(5)^{2}=25\pi$ 可确认:当 $r$ 为常数时,极坐标面积公式自然退化为熟悉的圆面积公式,这是检验任何极坐标面积答案的快速方法。
Q17MEDIUM 9.8 Rose Petal Area9.8 玫瑰线花瓣面积No Calculator[3 marks]

Find the area of one petal of $r = \sin(3\theta)$.求玫瑰线 $r = \sin(3\theta)$ 一个花瓣的面积。

Answer:答案: (A) $\dfrac{\pi}{12}$

Identify the petal's angular interval, then apply the half-angle identity先确定花瓣角度区间,再用半角恒等式 M1·M1·A1

One petal of $r=\sin(3\theta)$ spans $\theta\in\left[0,\tfrac{\pi}{3}\right]$ (where $r\ge 0$, the first petal). (M1)$r=\sin(3\theta)$ 的一个花瓣(第一瓣)跨越 $\theta\in\left[0,\tfrac{\pi}{3}\right]$(此区间 $r\ge 0$)。(M1)

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/3}\sin^{2}(3\theta)\,d\theta = \dfrac{1}{4}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/3}\left[1-\cos(6\theta)\right]d\theta$, using $\sin^{2}u=\tfrac{1-\cos 2u}{2}$ with $u=3\theta$. (M1)$A=\dfrac{1}{2}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/3}\sin^{2}(3\theta)\,d\theta = \dfrac{1}{4}\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/3}\left[1-\cos(6\theta)\right]d\theta$,其中用到 $\sin^{2}u=\tfrac{1-\cos 2u}{2}$,$u=3\theta$。(M1)

$=\dfrac{1}{4}\left[\theta-\dfrac{\sin 6\theta}{6}\right]_{0}^{\pi/3} = \dfrac{1}{4}\left[\dfrac{\pi}{3}-0\right] = \dfrac{\pi}{12}$. (A1)$=\dfrac{1}{4}\left[\theta-\dfrac{\sin 6\theta}{6}\right]_{0}^{\pi/3} = \dfrac{1}{4}\left[\dfrac{\pi}{3}-0\right] = \dfrac{\pi}{12}$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 For an $n$-petaled rose $r=\sin(n\theta)$ or $\cos(n\theta)$, each petal spans an angular width of $\frac{\pi}{n}$, and squaring inside the area integral always converts $\sin^{2}(n\theta)$ into a $\frac{1-\cos(2n\theta)}{2}$ form. Memorize this identity, it appears in essentially every rose-curve area problem.对于 $n$ 瓣玫瑰线 $r=\sin(n\theta)$ 或 $\cos(n\theta)$,每个花瓣的角度宽度均为 $\frac{\pi}{n}$,且面积积分中的平方项总会把 $\sin^{2}(n\theta)$ 转化为 $\frac{1-\cos(2n\theta)}{2}$ 的形式。请牢记这一恒等式,它几乎出现在每一道玫瑰线面积题中。
Q18HARD 9.9 Area Between Polar Curves9.9 极坐标曲线间面积No Calculator[3 marks]

Which integral gives the area inside $r=3\sin\theta$ and outside $r=1+\sin\theta$?下列哪个积分表示位于 $r=3\sin\theta$ 内部且在 $r=1+\sin\theta$ 外部的区域面积?

Answer:答案: (A) $\dfrac{1}{2}\displaystyle\int_{\pi/6}^{5\pi/6}\left[(3\sin\theta)^{2}-(1+\sin\theta)^{2}\right]d\theta$

Find the intersections, identify outer vs. inner, then subtract inside the integral先求交点,判断内外曲线,再在积分内相减 M1·M1·A1

Set $3\sin\theta=1+\sin\theta \Rightarrow 2\sin\theta=1 \Rightarrow \sin\theta=\tfrac12 \Rightarrow \theta=\tfrac{\pi}{6},\tfrac{5\pi}{6}$ on $[0,\pi]$. (M1)令 $3\sin\theta=1+\sin\theta \Rightarrow 2\sin\theta=1 \Rightarrow \sin\theta=\tfrac12 \Rightarrow \theta=\tfrac{\pi}{6},\tfrac{5\pi}{6}$(在 $[0,\pi]$ 上)。(M1)

Testing $\theta=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$ (between the intersections): $3\sin\tfrac{\pi}{2}=3$ versus $1+\sin\tfrac{\pi}{2}=2$, so $r=3\sin\theta$ is the outer curve on $\left(\tfrac{\pi}{6},\tfrac{5\pi}{6}\right)$. (M1)检验 $\theta=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$(位于两交点之间):$3\sin\tfrac{\pi}{2}=3$ 大于 $1+\sin\tfrac{\pi}{2}=2$,故在 $\left(\tfrac{\pi}{6},\tfrac{5\pi}{6}\right)$ 上 $r=3\sin\theta$ 为外曲线。(M1)

Subtracting inner$^2$ from outer$^2$ inside a single integral with the $\tfrac12$ factor outside gives option (A). (A1)在同一积分内以外曲线平方减内曲线平方,并在积分外保留 $\tfrac12$,即得选项 (A)。(A1)

Insight.要点。 Getting the bounds right is only half the problem, you must also test a point strictly between the intersection angles to confirm which curve is outer there, since the outer/inner labels can swap at every intersection. This is exactly the polar analogue of testing "top minus bottom" in rectangular area-between-curves problems.确定边界只是本题的一半,还必须在两交点之间取一点检验哪条曲线在外,因为内外关系可能在每个交点处互换。这正是直角坐标"上减下"检验方法在极坐标下的对应做法。

A curve is defined by $x(t) = t^{3}-3t$ and $y(t) = t^{2}-4$.曲线由 $x(t) = t^{3}-3t$ 与 $y(t) = t^{2}-4$ 定义。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{2t}{3t^{2}-3}$  ·  (b) $y=\dfrac{4}{9}(x-2)$  ·  (c) $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=-\dfrac{10}{243}$, concave down凹向下  ·  (d) $L=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}\sqrt{(3t^{2}-3)^{2}+(2t)^{2}}\,dt$

(a) Differentiate each component, then divide(a) 分别求导,再相除 M1·A1

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=3t^{2}-3$ and $\dfrac{dy}{dt}=2t$. (M1)$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=3t^{2}-3$,$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=2t$。(M1)

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{2t}{3t^{2}-3}$. (A1)$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{2t}{3t^{2}-3}$。(A1)

(b) Evaluate the point and slope at $t=2$, then write the line(b) 求出 $t=2$ 处的点和斜率,再写出直线方程 M1·A1

At $t=2$: $x(2)=8-6=2$, $y(2)=4-4=0$, giving the point $(2,0)$; $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=9$, $\dfrac{dy}{dt}=4$, so the slope is $\dfrac{4}{9}$. (M1)当 $t=2$ 时:$x(2)=8-6=2$,$y(2)=4-4=0$,得点 $(2,0)$;$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=9$,$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=4$,故斜率为 $\dfrac{4}{9}$。(M1)

Tangent line: $y-0=\dfrac{4}{9}(x-2)$, i.e. $y=\dfrac{4}{9}(x-2)$. (A1)切线:$y-0=\dfrac{4}{9}(x-2)$,即 $y=\dfrac{4}{9}(x-2)$。(A1)

(c) Differentiate $\frac{dy}{dx}$ w.r.t. $t$, then divide by $\frac{dx}{dt}$ again(c) 对 $\frac{dy}{dx}$ 关于 $t$ 求导,再除以一次 $\frac{dx}{dt}$ M1·A1

$\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac{2t}{3t^{2}-3}\right]=\dfrac{-6(t^{2}+1)}{(3t^{2}-3)^{2}}$ by the quotient rule, so $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\dfrac{-6(t^{2}+1)}{(3t^{2}-3)^{3}}$ after dividing by $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=3t^{2}-3$ once more. (M1)由商法则,$\dfrac{d}{dt}\left[\dfrac{2t}{3t^{2}-3}\right]=\dfrac{-6(t^{2}+1)}{(3t^{2}-3)^{2}}$,再除以一次 $\dfrac{dx}{dt}=3t^{2}-3$,得 $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\dfrac{-6(t^{2}+1)}{(3t^{2}-3)^{3}}$。(M1)

At $t=2$: $3t^{2}-3=9$, so $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\dfrac{-6(5)}{9^{3}}=\dfrac{-30}{729}=-\dfrac{10}{243}<0$, so the curve is concave down. (A1)当 $t=2$ 时:$3t^{2}-3=9$,故 $\dfrac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\dfrac{-6(5)}{9^{3}}=\dfrac{-30}{729}=-\dfrac{10}{243}<0$,曲线凹向下。(A1)

(d) Write the arc-length integrand(d) 写出弧长被积函数 M1

$L=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}\sqrt{(3t^{2}-3)^{2}+(2t)^{2}}\,dt$. (M1)$L=\displaystyle\int_{0}^{2}\sqrt{(3t^{2}-3)^{2}+(2t)^{2}}\,dt$。(M1)

Insight.要点。 This problem chains the entire parametric toolkit from the same two functions: a first derivative for slope (a-b), a second derivative for concavity (c), and the speed integrand for arc length (d). The pattern to memorize: $\frac{dy}{dx}$ never touches $x(t)$ or $y(t)$ directly, only their $t$-derivatives; concavity needs the extra divide-by-$\frac{dx}{dt}$ step that catches nearly everyone off guard; arc length always squares and adds the very same two $t$-derivatives already computed in part (a).本题用同一对函数串联了参数曲线的全部工具:一阶导数求斜率(a-b)、二阶导数判凹凸(c)、以及弧长中的速率被积函数(d)。需牢记的规律:$\frac{dy}{dx}$ 从不直接涉及 $x(t)$ 或 $y(t)$ 本身,只涉及它们对 $t$ 的导数;求凹凸性时那额外的"再除以 $\frac{dx}{dt}$"一步几乎人人都会漏掉;弧长的被积函数则总是把 (a) 中已求出的那两个 $t$ 导数平方后相加。

A particle moves in the plane with velocity vector $\mathbf{v}(t) = \langle 2t,\, 3e^{-t}\rangle$ for $t \ge 0$. At time $t=0$, the particle is at the point $(1,4)$.质点在平面内运动,速度向量为 $\mathbf{v}(t) = \langle 2t,\, 3e^{-t}\rangle$,$t \ge 0$。$t=0$ 时质点位于点 $(1,4)$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\mathbf{a}(t)=\langle 2,-3e^{-t}\rangle$  ·  (b) $\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle t^{2}+1,\,-3e^{-t}+7\rangle$  ·  (c) $\approx 2.284$  ·  (d) increasing增加

(a) Differentiate $\mathbf{v}(t)$ component-wise(a) 按分量对 $\mathbf{v}(t)$ 求导 M1·A1

$\dfrac{d}{dt}(2t)=2$ and $\dfrac{d}{dt}(3e^{-t})=-3e^{-t}$. (M1)$\dfrac{d}{dt}(2t)=2$,$\dfrac{d}{dt}(3e^{-t})=-3e^{-t}$。(M1)

$\mathbf{a}(t)=\langle 2,-3e^{-t}\rangle$. (A1)$\mathbf{a}(t)=\langle 2,-3e^{-t}\rangle$。(A1)

(b) Integrate each component, then apply the initial condition(b) 分别积分每个分量,再代入初始条件 M1·M1·A1

$\int 2t\,dt=t^{2}+C_{1}$ and $\int 3e^{-t}\,dt=-3e^{-t}+C_{2}$, so $x(t)=t^{2}+C_{1}$ and $y(t)=-3e^{-t}+C_{2}$. (M1)$\int 2t\,dt=t^{2}+C_{1}$,$\int 3e^{-t}\,dt=-3e^{-t}+C_{2}$,故 $x(t)=t^{2}+C_{1}$,$y(t)=-3e^{-t}+C_{2}$。(M1)

Using $\mathbf{r}(0)=(1,4)$: $x(0)=C_{1}=1$ and $y(0)=-3+C_{2}=4 \Rightarrow C_{2}=7$. (M1)代入 $\mathbf{r}(0)=(1,4)$:$x(0)=C_{1}=1$,$y(0)=-3+C_{2}=4 \Rightarrow C_{2}=7$。(M1)

$\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle t^{2}+1,\,-3e^{-t}+7\rangle$. (A1)$\mathbf{r}(t)=\langle t^{2}+1,\,-3e^{-t}+7\rangle$。(A1)

(c) Evaluate $\mathbf{v}$ at $t=1$, then take the magnitude(c) 求 $t=1$ 处的 $\mathbf{v}$,再取模 M1·A1

$\mathbf{v}(1)=\langle 2,3e^{-1}\rangle \approx \langle 2, 1.104\rangle$. (M1)$\mathbf{v}(1)=\langle 2,3e^{-1}\rangle \approx \langle 2, 1.104\rangle$。(M1)

Speed $=\sqrt{2^{2}+1.104^{2}} \approx \sqrt{4+1.218}\approx\sqrt{5.218}\approx 2.284$. (A1)速率 $=\sqrt{2^{2}+1.104^{2}} \approx \sqrt{4+1.218}\approx\sqrt{5.218}\approx 2.284$。(A1)

(d) Compute $\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1)$ and interpret the sign(d) 求 $\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1)$ 并解释其符号 M1·R1

$\mathbf{a}(1)=\langle 2,-3e^{-1}\rangle\approx\langle 2,-1.104\rangle$, so $\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1)=(2)(2)+\left(\tfrac{3}{e}\right)\left(-\tfrac{3}{e}\right)=4-\tfrac{9}{e^{2}}\approx 4-1.218=2.782$. (M1)$\mathbf{a}(1)=\langle 2,-3e^{-1}\rangle\approx\langle 2,-1.104\rangle$,故 $\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1)=(2)(2)+\left(\tfrac{3}{e}\right)\left(-\tfrac{3}{e}\right)=4-\tfrac{9}{e^{2}}\approx 4-1.218=2.782$。(M1)

Since $\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1)>0$, the particle's speed is increasing at $t=1$. (R1)因 $\mathbf{v}(1)\cdot\mathbf{a}(1)>0$,质点在 $t=1$ 时速率增加。(R1)

Insight.要点。 This is the same $\mathbf{v}\cdot\mathbf{a}>0 \Rightarrow$ speeding-up test from Q13, scaled up to a full FRQ. Note also that the $y$-components of both $\mathbf{v}$ and $\mathbf{a}$ decay like $e^{-t}$, so as $t$ grows the dot product is dominated entirely by the $x$-components $(2t)(2)=4t>0$: this particle's speed keeps increasing for essentially all $t>0$.这正是 Q13 中 $\mathbf{v}\cdot\mathbf{a}>0 \Rightarrow$ 加速判据的完整 FRQ 版本。另外注意 $\mathbf{v}$ 与 $\mathbf{a}$ 的 $y$ 分量均按 $e^{-t}$ 衰减,故当 $t$ 增大时点积几乎完全由 $x$ 分量 $(2t)(2)=4t>0$ 主导:该质点的速率在几乎所有 $t>0$ 上都持续增加。

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}\cos t\,dt=[\sin t]_{0}^{\pi}=0-0=0$. (M1)$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}\cos t\,dt=[\sin t]_{0}^{\pi}=0-0=0$。(M1)

$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}\sin(2t)\,dt=\left[-\tfrac{\cos 2t}{2}\right]_{0}^{\pi}=\left(-\tfrac12\right)-\left(-\tfrac12\right)=0$. (M1)$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi}\sin(2t)\,dt=\left[-\tfrac{\cos 2t}{2}\right]_{0}^{\pi}=\left(-\tfrac12\right)-\left(-\tfrac12\right)=0$。(M1)

At $t=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$: $v_{x}\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4}\right)=\cos\tfrac{\pi}{4}=\tfrac{\sqrt2}{2}>0$. (M1)当 $t=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$ 时:$v_{x}\left(\tfrac{\pi}{4}\right)=\cos\tfrac{\pi}{4}=\tfrac{\sqrt2}{2}>0$。(M1)

A positive horizontal velocity component means the particle is moving in the positive $x$-direction (rightward) at this instant. (R1)水平速度分量为正,说明质点此刻沿 $x$ 正方向(向右)运动。(R1)

Insight.要点。 Part (b)'s result, a nonzero total distance (from part c) but zero net displacement, is the vector analogue of "total distance $\ne$ displacement" from Topic 9.6: the particle genuinely travels the whole time, it simply ends up exactly where it started, something the displacement integral alone can never reveal.(b) 的结果是:总路程非零(见 (c)),但净位移为零,这正是 9.6 节"总路程 $\ne$ 位移"这一思想的向量版本。质点全程确实在运动,只是最终恰好回到起点,而这一点单靠位移积分本身永远无法看出。

At $\theta=\tfrac{\pi}{3}$: $\cos\theta=\tfrac12$, $\sin\theta=\tfrac{\sqrt3}{2}$, so $f\left(\tfrac{\pi}{3}\right)=2+4\left(\tfrac12\right)=4$ and $f'\left(\tfrac{\pi}{3}\right)=-4\left(\tfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\right)=-2\sqrt3$. (M1)当 $\theta=\tfrac{\pi}{3}$ 时:$\cos\theta=\tfrac12$,$\sin\theta=\tfrac{\sqrt3}{2}$,故 $f\left(\tfrac{\pi}{3}\right)=2+4\left(\tfrac12\right)=4$,$f'\left(\tfrac{\pi}{3}\right)=-4\left(\tfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\right)=-2\sqrt3$。(M1)

Insight.要点。 $r=0$ does not mean the tangent line is undefined, it just means the curve passes through the pole at those $\theta$ values; the slope formula from part (a) still applies there. This is a completely separate question from where the tangent is horizontal or vertical (the Q15-style analysis), which instead requires setting the numerator or denominator, not $r$ itself, to zero.$r=0$意味着切线未定义,它只表示曲线在这些 $\theta$ 值处经过极点;(a) 中的斜率公式在此处仍然适用。这与判断切线是水平还是竖直(类似 Q15 的情形)完全是两个不同的问题,后者要求令分子或分母(而非 $r$ 本身)为零。

(M1)$\displaystyle\int(4+8\cos2\theta)\,d\theta=4\theta+4\sin2\theta$;从 $-\tfrac{\pi}{3}$ 到 $\tfrac{\pi}{3}$ 求值:$\left[\tfrac{4\pi}{3}+2\sqrt3\right]-\left[-\tfrac{4\pi}{3}-2\sqrt3\right]=\tfrac{8\pi}{3}+4\sqrt3$。(M1)

Area $=\dfrac12\left(\tfrac{8\pi}{3}+4\sqrt3\right)=\dfrac{4\pi}{3}+2\sqrt3\approx 7.653$. (A1)面积 $=\dfrac12\left(\tfrac{8\pi}{3}+4\sqrt3\right)=\dfrac{4\pi}{3}+2\sqrt3\approx 7.653$。(A1)

Insight.要点。 This pair of curves is secretly two congruent circles of radius $2$: $r_{1}=4\cos\theta$ is the circle $(x-2)^{2}+y^{2}=4$ and $r_{2}=2$ is $x^{2}+y^{2}=4$. The answer can be checked geometrically as circle $1$'s full area minus the lens-shaped overlap, $4\pi-\left(\tfrac{8\pi}{3}-2\sqrt3\right)=\tfrac{4\pi}{3}+2\sqrt3$, matching the polar integral exactly, a strong independent check whenever a polar "area between curves" problem turns out to secretly involve circles.这两条曲线实际上是两个半径为 $2$ 的全等圆:$r_{1}=4\cos\theta$ 即圆 $(x-2)^{2}+y^{2}=4$,$r_{2}=2$ 即圆 $x^{2}+y^{2}=4$。可用几何方法独立核验:圆 $1$ 的总面积减去两圆重叠的透镜形区域,即 $4\pi-\left(\tfrac{8\pi}{3}-2\sqrt3\right)=\tfrac{4\pi}{3}+2\sqrt3$,与极坐标积分结果完全一致。每当极坐标"两曲线间面积"题恰好涉及圆时,这都是一种有力的独立验算方法。
