Q1MEDIUMCOREparametric curves and eliminating the parameter参数曲线与消参[6 marks]

Eliminate the parameter and identify each curve: (a) $x=2t-1$, $y=t^{2}+3$; (b) $x=3\cos\theta$, $y=5\sin\theta$; (c) $x=e^{t}$, $y=e^{2t}-4$.消去参数并判断各曲线类型:(a) $x=2t-1$,$y=t^{2}+3$;(b) $x=3\cos\theta$,$y=5\sin\theta$;(c) $x=e^{t}$,$y=e^{2t}-4$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $y=\tfrac{1}{4}(x+1)^{2}+3$ (upward parabola)(开口向上的抛物线)  ·  (b) $\tfrac{x^{2}}{9}+\tfrac{y^{2}}{25}=1$ (ellipse)(椭圆)  ·  (c) $y=x^{2}-4$, $x>0$ (right branch of parabola)(抛物线右支)

(a) Solve for $t$, substitute(a) 解出 $t$ 并代入 M1·A1

From $x=2t-1$, isolate $t=\dfrac{x+1}{2}$. (M1) Substitute into $y$:由 $x=2t-1$,解出 $t=\dfrac{x+1}{2}$。(M1) 代入 $y$:

$$ y = \left(\frac{x+1}{2}\right)^{2}+3 = \frac{(x+1)^{2}}{4}+3. $$

This is an upward-opening parabola with vertex $(-1,\,3)$. Since $t\in\mathbb{R}$, there is no restriction on $x$. (A1)这是顶点为 $(-1,\,3)$ 的开口向上抛物线。由于 $t\in\mathbb{R}$,$x$ 没有限制。(A1)

(b) Use a Pythagorean identity(b) 利用勾股恒等式 M1·A1

From $\cos\theta=x/3$ and $\sin\theta=y/5$, apply $\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta=1$: (M1)由 $\cos\theta=x/3$ 和 $\sin\theta=y/5$,应用 $\cos^{2}\theta+\sin^{2}\theta=1$:(M1)

$$ \frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{25}=1. $$

This is an ellipse with semi-axes $a=5$ (vertical) and $b=3$ (horizontal), centred at the origin. (A1)这是一个椭圆,半轴 $a=5$(竖直)和 $b=3$(水平),以原点为中心。(A1)

(c) Express the parameter via the first equation(c) 由第一个方程表达参数 M1·A1

Since $x=e^{t}$ and $e^{t}>0$ for all $t$, we have $x>0$ and $e^{t}=x$. (M1) Then $e^{2t}=(e^{t})^{2}=x^{2}$, so $y=x^{2}-4$. The curve is the right branch ($x>0$) of the parabola $y=x^{2}-4$. (A1)由于对所有 $t$ 均有 $x=e^{t}$ 且 $e^{t}>0$,故 $x>0$ 且 $e^{t}=x$。(M1) 则 $e^{2t}=(e^{t})^{2}=x^{2}$,从而 $y=x^{2}-4$。曲线是抛物线 $y=x^{2}-4$ 的右支($x>0$)。(A1)

Insight. The elimination strategy depends on the parameter's role: linear in $t$ yields direct substitution; trigonometric in $\theta$ yields a Pythagorean identity; exponential in $t$ yields substitution after noting $e^{2t}=(e^{t})^{2}$. In all cases, tracking the range of the parameter is essential to state the domain restriction on $x$. The ellipse (b) is the most common application of the identity route and the reason $x=a\cos\theta$, $y=b\sin\theta$ is the standard parametrisation for ellipses.消参策略取决于参数的形式:$t$ 为线性时直接代入;$\theta$ 为三角函数时用勾股恒等式;$t$ 为指数形式时注意 $e^{2t}=(e^{t})^{2}$ 后代入。在所有情况下,追踪参数的范围对于说明 $x$ 的定义域限制至关重要。椭圆 (b) 是恒等式路线最常见的应用,也是 $x=a\cos\theta$,$y=b\sin\theta$ 作为椭圆标准参数化的原因。
Q2MEDIUMCOREparametric first derivative, tangent lines, horizontal and vertical tangents参数一阶导数、切线、水平切线与竖直切线[8 marks]

For $x=t^{3}-3t$, $y=t^{2}-1$: (a) find $dy/dx$; (b) the tangent at $t=2$; (c) all horizontal and vertical tangents with their Cartesian points.对 $x=t^{3}-3t$,$y=t^{2}-1$:(a) 求 $dy/dx$;(b) $t=2$ 处的切线;(c) 所有水平切线与竖直切线及其直角坐标点。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\dfrac{2t}{3(t^{2}-1)}$  ·  (b) $y=\tfrac{4}{9}x+\tfrac{19}{9}$  ·  (c) horizontal at $t=0$, point $(0,-1)$; vertical at $t=\pm 1$, points $(\mp 2,\,0)$$t=0$ 处水平切线,点 $(0,-1)$;$t=\pm 1$ 处竖直切线,点 $(\mp 2,\,0)$

(a) Apply the parametric derivative formula(a) 应用参数导数公式 M1·A1

Differentiate: $dx/dt=3t^{2}-3=3(t^{2}-1)$ and $dy/dt=2t$. (M1) Therefore求导:$dx/dt=3t^{2}-3=3(t^{2}-1)$,$dy/dt=2t$。(M1) 因此

$$ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt}=\frac{2t}{3(t^{2}-1)}, \quad t\ne\pm 1. $$

(A1)

(b) Tangent line at $t=2$(b) $t=2$ 处的切线 M1·A1·A1

At $t=2$: $x=8-6=2$, $y=4-1=3$. The slope is $m=\dfrac{2(2)}{3(4-1)}=\dfrac{4}{9}$. (M1)在 $t=2$ 处:$x=8-6=2$,$y=4-1=3$。斜率为 $m=\dfrac{2(2)}{3(4-1)}=\dfrac{4}{9}$。(M1)

Point-slope form: $y-3=\dfrac{4}{9}(x-2)$. (A1) Rearranging:点斜式:$y-3=\dfrac{4}{9}(x-2)$。(A1) 整理得:

$$ y=\frac{4}{9}x-\frac{8}{9}+3=\frac{4}{9}x+\frac{19}{9}. $$

(A1)

(c) Horizontal and vertical tangents(c) 水平切线与竖直切线 M1·A1·M1·A1

Horizontal tangent: $dy/dt=0$ and $dx/dt\ne 0$. Setting $2t=0$ gives $t=0$. At $t=0$: $dx/dt=-3\ne 0$, so this is a genuine horizontal tangent. (M1) The Cartesian point is $(0-0,\,0-1)=(0,-1)$. (A1)水平切线:$dy/dt=0$ 且 $dx/dt\ne 0$。令 $2t=0$ 得 $t=0$。在 $t=0$ 处:$dx/dt=-3\ne 0$,故这是一个真正的水平切线。(M1) 直角坐标点为 $(0-0,\,0-1)=(0,-1)$。(A1)

Vertical tangent: $dx/dt=0$ and $dy/dt\ne 0$. Setting $3(t^{2}-1)=0$ gives $t=\pm 1$. At $t=1$: $dy/dt=2\ne 0$ and at $t=-1$: $dy/dt=-2\ne 0$. (M1)竖直切线:$dx/dt=0$ 且 $dy/dt\ne 0$。令 $3(t^{2}-1)=0$ 得 $t=\pm 1$。在 $t=1$ 处:$dy/dt=2\ne 0$;在 $t=-1$ 处:$dy/dt=-2\ne 0$。(M1)

At $t=1$: $(x,y)=(1-3,\,1-1)=(-2,\,0)$. At $t=-1$: $(x,y)=(-1+3,\,1-1)=(2,\,0)$. (A1)在 $t=1$ 处:$(x,y)=(1-3,\,1-1)=(-2,\,0)$。在 $t=-1$ 处:$(x,y)=(-1+3,\,1-1)=(2,\,0)$。(A1)

Insight. The parametric curve $x=t^{3}-3t$, $y=t^{2}-1$ has the same $y$-value at $t=1$ and $t=-1$, which means it crosses itself at $(y=0)$, creating a self-intersection. A parametric curve can cross itself because different parameter values can map to the same Cartesian point. The vertical tangents at $(\pm 2, 0)$ confirm the crossing: the curve enters and exits that point with different slopes (the slope formula is undefined there, not infinite in the usual sense).参数曲线 $x=t^{3}-3t$,$y=t^{2}-1$ 在 $t=1$ 和 $t=-1$ 处的 $y$ 值相同,意味着曲线在 $(y=0)$ 处自交。参数曲线可以自交,因为不同的参数值可以映射到同一个直角坐标点。$(\pm 2, 0)$ 处的竖直切线证实了自交:曲线以不同的斜率进出该点(该处斜率公式无定义,而非通常意义上的无穷大)。
Q3HARDCOREparametric second derivative and concavity参数二阶导数与凹凸性[6 marks]

For $x=\ln t$, $y=t^{2}+t^{-1}$, $t>0$: (a) compute $dy/dx$ and $d^{2}y/dx^{2}$; (b) determine concavity at $t=1$ and give the Cartesian coordinates of that point.对 $x=\ln t$,$y=t^{2}+t^{-1}$,$t>0$:(a) 计算 $dy/dx$ 和 $d^{2}y/dx^{2}$;(b) 判断 $t=1$ 处的凹凸性,并给出该点的直角坐标。

Answers:答案:  (a) $dy/dx = 2t^{2}-t^{-1}$;  $d^{2}y/dx^{2}=4t^{2}+t^{-1}$  ·  (b) concave up ($d^{2}y/dx^{2}=5>0$) at $(0,2)$在 $(0,2)$ 处上凸($d^{2}y/dx^{2}=5>0$)

(a) First and second derivatives(a) 一阶导数与二阶导数 M1·A1·M1·A1

Differentiate: $dx/dt=1/t$ and $dy/dt=2t-t^{-2}$. (M1) Then求导:$dx/dt=1/t$,$dy/dt=2t-t^{-2}$。(M1) 则

$$ \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy/dt}{dx/dt}=\frac{2t-t^{-2}}{1/t}=t\bigl(2t-t^{-2}\bigr)=2t^{2}-t^{-1}. $$

(A1)

For the second derivative, differentiate $dy/dx$ with respect to $t$ and divide by $dx/dt$: (M1)对于二阶导数,将 $dy/dx$ 对 $t$ 求导后除以 $dx/dt$:(M1)

$$ \frac{d}{dt}\!\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)=\frac{d}{dt}\!\left(2t^{2}-t^{-1}\right)=4t+t^{-2}. $$ $$ \frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\frac{4t+t^{-2}}{dx/dt}=\frac{4t+t^{-2}}{1/t}=t\bigl(4t+t^{-2}\bigr)=4t^{2}+t^{-1}. $$

(A1)

(b) Concavity at $t=1$(b) $t=1$ 处的凹凸性 A1·A1

At $t=1$: $d^{2}y/dx^{2}=4(1)^{2}+(1)^{-1}=4+1=5>0$. Since the second derivative is positive, the curve is concave up at this point. (A1)在 $t=1$ 处:$d^{2}y/dx^{2}=4(1)^{2}+(1)^{-1}=4+1=5>0$。由于二阶导数为正,曲线在该点处上凸。(A1)

The Cartesian coordinates are $x=\ln 1=0$ and $y=1^{2}+1^{-1}=2$, giving the point $(0,\,2)$. (A1)直角坐标为 $x=\ln 1=0$,$y=1^{2}+1^{-1}=2$,即点 $(0,\,2)$。(A1)

Insight. The formula $d^{2}y/dx^{2} = \dfrac{(d/dt)(dy/dx)}{dx/dt}$ looks asymmetric, but it is not a mistake: you differentiate the first derivative $dy/dx$ (which is a function of $t$) with respect to $t$, then divide by $dx/dt$ to convert $d/dt$ to $d/dx$. Forgetting that extra division by $dx/dt$ is the most common error here. Also note that $dx/dt=1/t>0$ for $t>0$, so the orientation of the curve is consistent with the usual $x$-axis direction and concavity has its standard meaning.公式 $d^{2}y/dx^{2} = \dfrac{(d/dt)(dy/dx)}{dx/dt}$ 看起来不对称,但这并非错误:你需要将一阶导数 $dy/dx$(它是 $t$ 的函数)对 $t$ 求导,再除以 $dx/dt$ 将 $d/dt$ 转换为 $d/dx$。忘记最后除以 $dx/dt$ 是此处最常见的错误。还要注意,$dx/dt=1/t>0$ 对 $t>0$ 成立,因此曲线方向与通常的 $x$ 轴方向一致,凹凸性具有标准含义。
Q4MEDIUMCOREpolar coordinates: conversion and curve identification极坐标:转换与曲线判定[8 marks]

(a) Convert $(-\sqrt{3},1)$ to polar; (b) convert $r=4\sin\theta$ to Cartesian and identify; (c) identify the type of each: (i) $r=2+2\cos\theta$; (ii) $r=\sin 3\theta$.(a) 将 $(-\sqrt{3},1)$ 转为极坐标;(b) 将 $r=4\sin\theta$ 转为直角坐标并判断类型;(c) 判断各曲线类型:(i) $r=2+2\cos\theta$;(ii) $r=\sin 3\theta$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $(2,\,5\pi/6)$  ·  (b) $x^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=4$, circle, centre $(0,2)$, radius $2$圆,圆心 $(0,2)$,半径 $2$  ·  (c)(i) cardioid心形线  ·  (c)(ii) 3-petal rose三叶玫瑰线  ·  (d) $e=1/2$, $d=6$, ellipse椭圆

(a) Cartesian to polar(a) 直角坐标转极坐标 M1·A1

Compute $r=\sqrt{(-\sqrt{3})^{2}+1^{2}}=\sqrt{3+1}=2$. (M1) For the angle, $\tan\theta=y/x=1/(-\sqrt{3})=-1/\sqrt{3}$. Since $x<0$ and $y>0$ the point is in the second quadrant, so $\theta=\pi-\pi/6=5\pi/6$. (A1) Polar form: $(2,\,5\pi/6)$.计算 $r=\sqrt{(-\sqrt{3})^{2}+1^{2}}=\sqrt{3+1}=2$。(M1) 对于角度,$\tan\theta=y/x=1/(-\sqrt{3})=-1/\sqrt{3}$。由于 $x<0$ 且 $y>0$,点在第二象限,故 $\theta=\pi-\pi/6=5\pi/6$。(A1) 极坐标形式:$(2,\,5\pi/6)$。

(b) Convert $r=4\sin\theta$(b) 转换 $r=4\sin\theta$ M1·A1

Multiply both sides by $r$: $r^{2}=4r\sin\theta$. (M1) Substitute $r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}$ and $r\sin\theta=y$:两边乘以 $r$:$r^{2}=4r\sin\theta$。(M1) 代入 $r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}$ 和 $r\sin\theta=y$:

$$ x^{2}+y^{2}=4y \implies x^{2}+y^{2}-4y=0 \implies x^{2}+(y-2)^{2}=4. $$

Circle with centre $(0,2)$ and radius $2$. (A1)圆心为 $(0,2)$、半径为 $2$ 的圆。(A1)

(c) Identify the polar curves(c) 判断极坐标曲线类型 A1·A1

(i) $r=2+2\cos\theta$ has the form $r=a+b\cos\theta$ with $a=b=2$. When $|a|=|b|$ the curve is a cardioid; distinguishing feature: the curve passes through the origin once ($r=0$ at $\theta=\pi$), producing a single cusp. (A1)(i) $r=2+2\cos\theta$ 具有 $r=a+b\cos\theta$ 的形式,其中 $a=b=2$。当 $|a|=|b|$ 时曲线为心形线;判别特征:曲线过原点一次($\theta=\pi$ 时 $r=0$),产生一个尖点。(A1)

(ii) $r=\sin 3\theta$ is a rose with $n=3$ (odd), giving exactly $3$ petals. Distinguishing feature: for $r=\sin(n\theta)$ with $n$ odd, there are exactly $n$ petals, each spanning a $\pi/n$-wide interval of $\theta$. (A1)(ii) $r=\sin 3\theta$ 是 $n=3$(奇数)的玫瑰线,恰好有 $3$ 片花瓣。判别特征:对于 $n$ 为奇数的 $r=\sin(n\theta)$,恰好有 $n$ 片花瓣,每片花瓣跨越宽度为 $\pi/n$ 的 $\theta$ 区间。(A1)

(d) Polar conic form(d) 极坐标圆锥标准形式 M1·A1

Divide numerator and denominator of $r=\dfrac{6}{2+\cos\theta}$ by $2$: (M1)将 $r=\dfrac{6}{2+\cos\theta}$ 的分子分母同除以 $2$:(M1)

$$ r = \frac{3}{1 + \tfrac{1}{2}\cos\theta}. $$

Matching $r=\dfrac{ed}{1+e\cos\theta}$ gives $e=\tfrac{1}{2}$ and $ed=3$, so $d=6$. (A1) Since $e=\tfrac{1}{2}<1$, the conic is an ellipse with one focus at the origin and directrix $x=6$ to the right.对照 $r=\dfrac{ed}{1+e\cos\theta}$ 得 $e=\tfrac{1}{2}$ 且 $ed=3$,故 $d=6$。(A1) 由于 $e=\tfrac{1}{2}<1$,该圆锥曲线是以原点为焦点、右侧准线 $x=6$ 的椭圆。

Insight. The trick in (b) of multiplying by $r$ to insert $r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}$ and $r\sin\theta=y$ is universal for converting polar circles and their relatives to Cartesian form. For rose curves, the petal count rule is: $r=\cos(n\theta)$ or $r=\sin(n\theta)$ produces $n$ petals if $n$ is odd, and $2n$ petals if $n$ is even. The cardioid is the borderline case of the limaon family $r=a+b\cos\theta$ where $|a|=|b|$. For the polar conic in (d), the divide-by-the-constant-term trick puts the denominator in the form $1+e\cos\theta$ instantly; then $e<1$ means ellipse, $e=1$ parabola, $e>1$ hyperbola.(b) 中乘以 $r$ 以代入 $r^{2}=x^{2}+y^{2}$ 和 $r\sin\theta=y$ 的技巧,对将极坐标圆及其相关曲线转换为直角坐标形式是通用的。对于玫瑰线,花瓣数规则为:$r=\cos(n\theta)$ 或 $r=\sin(n\theta)$,若 $n$ 为奇数则有 $n$ 片花瓣,若 $n$ 为偶数则有 $2n$ 片花瓣。心形线是蜗线族 $r=a+b\cos\theta$ 中 $|a|=|b|$ 的临界情形。对于 (d) 中的极坐标圆锥曲线,除以常数项的技巧立即将分母化为 $1+e\cos\theta$ 的形式;此后 $e<1$ 为椭圆,$e=1$ 为抛物线,$e>1$ 为双曲线。

Q5HARDPROOFderiving the polar area element from a circular sector从扇形面积推导极坐标面积微元[8 marks]

Derive $A=\tfrac{1}{2}\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}r^{2}\,d\theta$ by partitioning $[\alpha,\beta]$ into $n$ sectors, applying the sector area formula, forming a Riemann sum, and passing to the limit.将 $[\alpha,\beta]$ 分成 $n$ 个扇形,应用扇形面积公式,构造黎曼和后取极限,推导出 $A=\tfrac{1}{2}\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}r^{2}\,d\theta$。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\tfrac{1}{2}\rho^{2}\Delta\theta$  ·  (b) sum $= \sum_{i=1}^{n}\tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta_{i}^{*})]^{2}\Delta\theta$和式 $= \sum_{i=1}^{n}\tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta_{i}^{*})]^{2}\Delta\theta$  ·  (c) limit equals $\tfrac{1}{2}\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}[f(\theta)]^{2}\,d\theta$ by the definition of the Riemann integral由黎曼积分的定义,极限等于 $\tfrac{1}{2}\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}[f(\theta)]^{2}\,d\theta$  ·  (d) the curve must be traced exactly once; $r=\cos\theta$ on $[0,2\pi]$ traces the circle twice曲线必须恰好被描绘一次;$r=\cos\theta$ 在 $[0,2\pi]$ 上将圆描绘了两次

(a) Sector area formula(a) 扇形面积公式 A1

A circular sector of radius $\rho$ and central angle $\Delta\theta$ (in radians) has area $\tfrac{1}{2}\rho^{2}\Delta\theta$. This follows from the proportion $\Delta\theta/(2\pi)$ of the full disk of area $\pi\rho^{2}$. (A1)半径为 $\rho$、圆心角为 $\Delta\theta$(弧度)的扇形面积为 $\tfrac{1}{2}\rho^{2}\Delta\theta$。这由面积 $\pi\rho^{2}$ 的完整圆盘中占比 $\Delta\theta/(2\pi)$ 得出。(A1)

(b) Riemann sum approximation(b) 黎曼和近似 M1·A1·R1

Partition $[\alpha,\beta]$ into $n$ equal subintervals $[\theta_{i-1},\theta_{i}]$ of width $\Delta\theta=(\beta-\alpha)/n$, and choose a sample point $\theta_{i}^{*}\in[\theta_{i-1},\theta_{i}]$. (M1) The swept-area element near $\theta_{i}^{*}$ is approximated by a sector of radius $f(\theta_{i}^{*})$ and angle $\Delta\theta$, giving area $\tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta_{i}^{*})]^{2}\Delta\theta$. The total area is approximated by将 $[\alpha,\beta]$ 等分为 $n$ 个宽度为 $\Delta\theta=(\beta-\alpha)/n$ 的子区间 $[\theta_{i-1},\theta_{i}]$,取样本点 $\theta_{i}^{*}\in[\theta_{i-1},\theta_{i}]$。(M1) $\theta_{i}^{*}$ 附近的扫掠面积微元由半径为 $f(\theta_{i}^{*})$、圆心角为 $\Delta\theta$ 的扇形近似,面积为 $\tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta_{i}^{*})]^{2}\Delta\theta$。总面积近似为

$$ A \approx \sum_{i=1}^{n} \tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta_{i}^{*})]^{2}\Delta\theta. $$

(A1) As $n\to\infty$ (equivalently $\Delta\theta\to 0$), each sector becomes an infinitesimally thin wedge, and the sector approximation becomes exact because the arc length of the boundary $\Delta\theta\cdot f(\theta_{i}^{*})$ is negligible compared to the sector radius. (R1)(A1) 当 $n\to\infty$(等价地 $\Delta\theta\to 0$)时,每个扇形变为无限薄的楔形,扇形近似趋于精确,因为边界弧长 $\Delta\theta\cdot f(\theta_{i}^{*})$ 相对于扇形半径可忽略不计。(R1)

(c) Passing to the limit(c) 取极限 M1·A1

The Riemann sum $\sum_{i=1}^{n}\tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta_{i}^{*})]^{2}\Delta\theta$ has the exact form required by the definition of the definite integral of the function $\theta\mapsto\tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta)]^{2}$ over $[\alpha,\beta]$. (M1) Since $f$ is continuous, the integral exists, and黎曼和 $\sum_{i=1}^{n}\tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta_{i}^{*})]^{2}\Delta\theta$ 恰好具有函数 $\theta\mapsto\tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta)]^{2}$ 在 $[\alpha,\beta]$ 上的定积分定义所要求的形式。(M1) 由于 $f$ 连续,积分存在,且

$$ \lim_{n\to\infty}\sum_{i=1}^{n}\tfrac{1}{2}[f(\theta_{i}^{*})]^{2}\Delta\theta = \frac{1}{2}\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}[f(\theta)]^{2}\,d\theta. $$

(A1) This completes the derivation of the polar area formula.(A1) 至此完成了极坐标面积公式的推导。

(d) No-double-counting condition(d) 不重复计算的条件 A1·R1

The formula correctly measures the swept area only when the curve is traced exactly once as $\theta$ ranges from $\alpha$ to $\beta$; if any region is swept multiple times, its area is counted multiple times. (A1) Example: $r=\cos\theta$ on $[0,2\pi]$ traces the circle $x^{2}+(y-\tfrac{1}{2})^{2}=\tfrac{1}{4}$ twice, so $\tfrac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\cos^{2}\theta\,d\theta=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$ gives double the actual area $\tfrac{\pi}{4}$. The correct interval is $[0,\pi]$. (R1)只有当 $\theta$ 从 $\alpha$ 到 $\beta$ 变化时曲线恰好被描绘一次,该公式才能正确量度扫掠面积;若任何区域被多次扫掠,其面积将被重复计算。(A1) 例如:$r=\cos\theta$ 在 $[0,2\pi]$ 上将圆 $x^{2}+(y-\tfrac{1}{2})^{2}=\tfrac{1}{4}$ 描绘了两次,故 $\tfrac{1}{2}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\cos^{2}\theta\,d\theta=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$ 给出了实际面积 $\tfrac{\pi}{4}$ 的两倍。正确的区间为 $[0,\pi]$。(R1)

Insight. This derivation reveals why the factor $\tfrac{1}{2}$ appears: it comes from the area of a circular sector, not from any accident of the integral. The key modelling step is replacing each infinitesimal swept region with a sector of radius $r(\theta_{i}^{*})$. The approximation error per sector is $O((\Delta\theta)^{2})$, which vanishes in the Riemann-sum limit. The warning about double-tracing is critical: always check the range before integrating, and integrate only over the $\theta$-values that trace the region once.本推导揭示了因子 $\tfrac{1}{2}$ 出现的原因:它来自扇形面积,而非积分的偶然结果。关键建模步骤是将每个无穷小扫掠区域用半径为 $r(\theta_{i}^{*})$ 的扇形替代。每个扇形的近似误差为 $O((\Delta\theta)^{2})$,在黎曼和极限中消失。关于重复描绘的警告至关重要:积分前务必检查范围,只在将区域描绘一次的 $\theta$ 值上积分。
Q6HARDPROOFderiving the parametric arc length formula推导参数弧长公式[8 marks]

Derive $L=\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{[f'(t)]^{2}+[g'(t)]^{2}}\,dt$ by partitioning, applying the MVT, forming a Riemann sum, and reducing to the ordinary arc-length formula.通过划分区间、应用中值定理、构造黎曼和,推导出 $L=\int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{[f'(t)]^{2}+[g'(t)]^{2}}\,dt$,并化简至普通弧长公式。

Answers:答案:  (a) chord $=\sqrt{(\Delta x_{i})^{2}+(\Delta y_{i})^{2}}$弦长 $=\sqrt{(\Delta x_{i})^{2}+(\Delta y_{i})^{2}}$  ·  (b) MVT gives $\sqrt{[f'(t_{i}^{*})]^{2}+[g'(t_{i}^{**})]^{2}}\,\Delta t$中值定理得 $\sqrt{[f'(t_{i}^{*})]^{2}+[g'(t_{i}^{**})]^{2}}\,\Delta t$  ·  (c) sum converges by continuity of $f',g'$由 $f',g'$ 的连续性,和式收敛  ·  (d) substituting $f'=1$, $g'=F'$ gives $\int\sqrt{1+(F')^{2}}\,dt$代入 $f'=1$,$g'=F'$ 得 $\int\sqrt{1+(F')^{2}}\,dt$

(a) Chord length from the distance formula(a) 由距离公式求弦长 M1·A1

Partition $[a,b]$ into $n$ equal subintervals $[t_{i-1},t_{i}]$ of width $\Delta t=(b-a)/n$. The endpoints of the $i$-th chord are $(f(t_{i-1}),g(t_{i-1}))$ and $(f(t_{i}),g(t_{i}))$. (M1) By the distance formula the chord length is将 $[a,b]$ 等分为 $n$ 个宽度为 $\Delta t=(b-a)/n$ 的子区间 $[t_{i-1},t_{i}]$。第 $i$ 段弦的端点为 $(f(t_{i-1}),g(t_{i-1}))$ 和 $(f(t_{i}),g(t_{i}))$。(M1) 由距离公式,弦长为

$$ \ell_{i} = \sqrt{[f(t_{i})-f(t_{i-1})]^{2}+[g(t_{i})-g(t_{i-1})]^{2}} = \sqrt{(\Delta x_{i})^{2}+(\Delta y_{i})^{2}}. $$

(A1)

(b) Apply the MVT to $f$ and $g$ on each subinterval(b) 在每个子区间对 $f$ 和 $g$ 应用中值定理 M1·A1

Since $f$ and $g$ are differentiable, the MVT guarantees $t_{i}^{*},t_{i}^{**}\in(t_{i-1},t_{i})$ such that $\Delta x_{i}=f(t_{i})-f(t_{i-1})=f'(t_{i}^{*})\Delta t$ and $\Delta y_{i}=g'(t_{i}^{**})\Delta t$. (M1) Substituting:由于 $f$ 和 $g$ 可微,中值定理保证存在 $t_{i}^{*},t_{i}^{**}\in(t_{i-1},t_{i})$ 使得 $\Delta x_{i}=f(t_{i})-f(t_{i-1})=f'(t_{i}^{*})\Delta t$ 且 $\Delta y_{i}=g'(t_{i}^{**})\Delta t$。(M1) 代入:

$$ \ell_{i} = \sqrt{[f'(t_{i}^{*})]^{2}+[g'(t_{i}^{**})]^{2}}\,\Delta t. $$

(A1)

(c) Convergence of the Riemann sum(c) 黎曼和的收敛性 M1·A1

The total length approximation is $\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sqrt{[f'(t_{i}^{*})]^{2}+[g'(t_{i}^{**})]^{2}}\,\Delta t$. In general, a Riemann sum requires a single sample point per subinterval, but here two different MVT points $t_{i}^{*}\ne t_{i}^{**}$ appear. (M1) Because $f'$ and $g'$ are continuous on $[a,b]$, they are uniformly continuous, so the maximum difference $|f'(t_{i}^{*})-f'(t_{i}^{**})|\to 0$ as $\Delta t\to 0$. This means replacing both by a single point introduces error that vanishes as $n\to\infty$. Consequently the sum converges to总长度近似为 $\sum_{i=1}^{n}\sqrt{[f'(t_{i}^{*})]^{2}+[g'(t_{i}^{**})]^{2}}\,\Delta t$。一般而言,黎曼和在每个子区间只需一个样本点,但此处出现了两个不同的中值定理点 $t_{i}^{*}\ne t_{i}^{**}$。(M1) 由于 $f'$ 和 $g'$ 在 $[a,b]$ 上连续,它们一致连续,故最大差值 $|f'(t_{i}^{*})-f'(t_{i}^{**})|\to 0$(当 $\Delta t\to 0$)。这意味着将两者替换为单个点所引入的误差在 $n\to\infty$ 时消失。因此和式收敛到

$$ L = \int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{[f'(t)]^{2}+[g'(t)]^{2}}\,dt. $$

(A1)

(d) Reduction to the ordinary arc-length integral(d) 化简为普通弧长积分 M1·A1

For the parametrisation $x=t$, $y=F(t)$, we have $f'(t)=1$ and $g'(t)=F'(t)$. (M1) Substituting into the parametric formula:对参数化 $x=t$,$y=F(t)$,有 $f'(t)=1$ 且 $g'(t)=F'(t)$。(M1) 代入参数公式:

$$ L = \int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1^{2}+[F'(t)]^{2}}\,dt = \int_{a}^{b}\sqrt{1+[F'(t)]^{2}}\,dt, $$

which is exactly the standard arc-length integral for $y=F(x)$. (A1)这恰好是 $y=F(x)$ 的标准弧长积分。(A1)

Insight. The two separate MVT points $t_{i}^{*}$ and $t_{i}^{**}$ are unavoidable (the MVT applies to $f$ and $g$ independently) and cause the expression not to be a classical Riemann sum. The passage to the limit nonetheless works because uniform continuity of $f'$ and $g'$ lets you force both MVT points into a single representative. This is an instance of a more general theorem on the convergence of "approximate Riemann sums," and it is why continuity of $f'$ and $g'$ is a hypothesis of the arc-length formula.两个独立的中值定理点 $t_{i}^{*}$ 和 $t_{i}^{**}$ 是不可避免的(中值定理分别作用于 $f$ 和 $g$),使得该表达式不是经典黎曼和。然而,取极限仍然有效,因为 $f'$ 和 $g'$ 的一致连续性使你能将两个中值定理点统一为单一代表点。这是关于"近似黎曼和"收敛性的更一般定理的一个实例,也是弧长公式以 $f'$ 和 $g'$ 连续为假设条件的原因。
Q7HARDPROOFslopes of polar curves: derivation and application极坐标曲线的斜率:推导与应用[10 marks]

Derive the polar slope formula, apply it to the cardioid $r=1+\cos\theta$ to find all horizontal tangents, and evaluate the slope at $\theta=\pi/3$.推导极坐标斜率公式,将其应用于心形线 $r=1+\cos\theta$ 求所有水平切线,并计算 $\theta=\pi/3$ 处的斜率。

Answers:答案:  (a) $dx/d\theta = (dr/d\theta)\cos\theta - r\sin\theta$; $dy/d\theta = (dr/d\theta)\sin\theta + r\cos\theta$  ·  (b) horizontal when $dy/d\theta=0$, $dx/d\theta\ne 0$; vertical when $dx/d\theta=0$, $dy/d\theta\ne 0$$dy/d\theta=0$ 且 $dx/d\theta\ne 0$ 时水平;$dx/d\theta=0$ 且 $dy/d\theta\ne 0$ 时竖直  ·  (c) $\theta = \pi/3$ and $\theta = 5\pi/3$  ·  (d) slope $= 0$ (confirmed horizontal tangent)斜率 $= 0$(确认为水平切线)

(a) Differentiate $x=r\cos\theta$ and $y=r\sin\theta$ by the product rule(a) 用乘积法则对 $x=r\cos\theta$ 和 $y=r\sin\theta$ 求导 M1·A1

Treating $r=f(\theta)$ as a function of $\theta$ and applying the product rule: (M1)将 $r=f(\theta)$ 视为 $\theta$ 的函数并应用乘积法则:(M1)

$$ \frac{dx}{d\theta} = \frac{dr}{d\theta}\cos\theta - r\sin\theta, \qquad \frac{dy}{d\theta} = \frac{dr}{d\theta}\sin\theta + r\cos\theta. $$

(A1)

(b) Tangent conditions(b) 切线条件 A1·A1

The slope of the polar curve in the $xy$-plane is $dy/dx=(dy/d\theta)/(dx/d\theta)$. A horizontal tangent occurs when the numerator $dy/d\theta=0$ and the denominator $dx/d\theta\ne 0$. (A1) A vertical tangent occurs when the denominator $dx/d\theta=0$ and the numerator $dy/d\theta\ne 0$. (A1) When both are simultaneously zero the analysis requires a separate limit.极坐标曲线在 $xy$ 平面中的斜率为 $dy/dx=(dy/d\theta)/(dx/d\theta)$。当分子 $dy/d\theta=0$ 且分母 $dx/d\theta\ne 0$ 时出现水平切线。(A1) 当分母 $dx/d\theta=0$ 且分子 $dy/d\theta\ne 0$ 时出现竖直切线。(A1) 当两者同时为零时,需要单独分析极限。

(c) Horizontal tangents of the cardioid $r=1+\cos\theta$(c) 心形线 $r=1+\cos\theta$ 的水平切线 M1·M1·A1·A1

For $r=1+\cos\theta$, $dr/d\theta=-\sin\theta$. (M1) Compute the numerator:对 $r=1+\cos\theta$,$dr/d\theta=-\sin\theta$。(M1) 计算分子:

$$ \frac{dy}{d\theta}=(-\sin\theta)\sin\theta+(1+\cos\theta)\cos\theta=-\sin^{2}\theta+\cos\theta+\cos^{2}\theta. $$

Using $\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta=\cos(2\theta)=2\cos^{2}\theta-1$:利用 $\cos^{2}\theta-\sin^{2}\theta=\cos(2\theta)=2\cos^{2}\theta-1$:

$$ \frac{dy}{d\theta}=\cos(2\theta)+\cos\theta=2\cos^{2}\theta-1+\cos\theta=(2\cos\theta-1)(\cos\theta+1). $$

(M1) Set $dy/d\theta=0$: either $\cos\theta=\tfrac{1}{2}$ (giving $\theta=\pi/3$ or $\theta=5\pi/3$) or $\cos\theta=-1$ (giving $\theta=\pi$). (A1)(M1) 令 $dy/d\theta=0$:或 $\cos\theta=\tfrac{1}{2}$(得 $\theta=\pi/3$ 或 $\theta=5\pi/3$),或 $\cos\theta=-1$(得 $\theta=\pi$)。(A1)

Check $\theta=\pi$: the denominator $dx/d\theta=-\sin\pi\cos\pi-(1+\cos\pi)\sin\pi=0$. Both numerator and denominator vanish at $\theta=\pi$, which is the cusp at the pole ($r=0$ there); this is not a genuine horizontal tangent. The valid horizontal tangents are at $\theta=\pi/3$ and $\theta=5\pi/3$. (A1)检验 $\theta=\pi$:分母 $dx/d\theta=-\sin\pi\cos\pi-(1+\cos\pi)\sin\pi=0$。分子和分母在 $\theta=\pi$ 处同时为零,这是极点处的尖点(该处 $r=0$),不是真正的水平切线。有效的水平切线在 $\theta=\pi/3$ 和 $\theta=5\pi/3$ 处。(A1)

(d) Slope at $\theta=\pi/3$(d) $\theta=\pi/3$ 处的斜率 M1·A1

At $\theta=\pi/3$: $r=1+\cos(\pi/3)=1+\tfrac{1}{2}=\tfrac{3}{2}$ and $dr/d\theta=-\sin(\pi/3)=-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$. (M1)在 $\theta=\pi/3$ 处:$r=1+\cos(\pi/3)=1+\tfrac{1}{2}=\tfrac{3}{2}$,$dr/d\theta=-\sin(\pi/3)=-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$。(M1)

Numerator: $dy/d\theta=(2\cos(\pi/3)-1)(\cos(\pi/3)+1)=(2\cdot\tfrac{1}{2}-1)(\tfrac{1}{2}+1)=0\cdot\tfrac{3}{2}=0$.分子:$dy/d\theta=(2\cos(\pi/3)-1)(\cos(\pi/3)+1)=(2\cdot\tfrac{1}{2}-1)(\tfrac{1}{2}+1)=0\cdot\tfrac{3}{2}=0$。

Denominator: $dx/d\theta=(-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2})\cos(\pi/3)-(1+\tfrac{1}{2})\sin(\pi/3)=-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot\tfrac{1}{2}-\tfrac{3}{2}\cdot\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}-\tfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}=-\sqrt{3}\ne 0$.分母:$dx/d\theta=(-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2})\cos(\pi/3)-(1+\tfrac{1}{2})\sin(\pi/3)=-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\cdot\tfrac{1}{2}-\tfrac{3}{2}\cdot\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=-\tfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}-\tfrac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}=-\sqrt{3}\ne 0$。

Therefore $dy/dx=0/(-\sqrt{3})=0$. (A1) This confirms $\theta=\pi/3$ is a horizontal tangent point, consistent with part (c).因此 $dy/dx=0/(-\sqrt{3})=0$。(A1) 这确认 $\theta=\pi/3$ 是水平切线点,与第(c)部分一致。

Insight. The cusp at $\theta=\pi$ is a pole meeting: both numerator and denominator of $dy/dx$ vanish simultaneously, which signals a genuine singularity in the curve rather than a tangent in any direction. This is the same situation as a vertical tangent meeting a horizontal tangent at the same point; the curve does not have a well-defined tangent direction at the cusp, and one must examine the limit of the slope as $\theta\to\pi$ separately. The factoring step $\cos(2\theta)+\cos\theta = (2\cos\theta-1)(\cos\theta+1)$ via the double-angle identity is the key algebraic move; commit it to memory for cardioid problems.$\theta=\pi$ 处的尖点是极点交汇处:$dy/dx$ 的分子和分母同时为零,这表明曲线存在真正的奇点,而非任何方向上的切线。这与竖直切线和水平切线在同一点相遇的情形相同;曲线在尖点处没有明确定义的切线方向,必须单独研究斜率在 $\theta\to\pi$ 时的极限。通过二倍角恒等式进行的因式分解 $\cos(2\theta)+\cos\theta = (2\cos\theta-1)(\cos\theta+1)$ 是关键代数步骤;请将其记住以备心形线问题使用。

Q8HARDAPPLIEDparametric arc length requiring a trigonometric identity需要三角恒等式的参数弧长[8 marks]

For the involute $x=\cos t+t\sin t$, $y=\sin t - t\cos t$, $0\le t\le\pi$: (a) compute $dx/dt$, $dy/dt$; (b) simplify the speed squared; (c) find the arc length; (d) set up and evaluate the surface-area integral for revolution about the $x$-axis over $[0,\pi/2]$.对渐开线 $x=\cos t+t\sin t$,$y=\sin t - t\cos t$,$0\le t\le\pi$:(a) 计算 $dx/dt$、$dy/dt$;(b) 化简速度的平方;(c) 求弧长;(d) 建立并计算绕 $x$ 轴旋转在 $[0,\pi/2]$ 上的表面积积分。

Answers:答案:  (a) $dx/dt=t\cos t$, $dy/dt=t\sin t$  ·  (b) $(dx/dt)^{2}+(dy/dt)^{2}=t^{2}$ (using $\cos^{2}t+\sin^{2}t=1$)(利用 $\cos^{2}t+\sin^{2}t=1$)  ·  (c) $L=\tfrac{\pi^{2}}{2}$  ·  (d) $S=2\pi\!\left(3-\tfrac{\pi^{2}}{4}\right)=6\pi-\tfrac{\pi^{3}}{2}$

(a) Differentiate using the product rule(a) 用乘积法则求导 M1·A1

Differentiate $x=\cos t+t\sin t$: (M1)对 $x=\cos t+t\sin t$ 求导:(M1)

$$ \frac{dx}{dt}=-\sin t+\sin t + t\cos t = t\cos t. $$

Differentiate $y=\sin t - t\cos t$:对 $y=\sin t - t\cos t$ 求导:

$$ \frac{dy}{dt}=\cos t - \cos t + t\sin t = t\sin t. $$

(A1) (Note the elegant cancellations from the product rule.)(A1)(注意乘积法则产生的优雅消去。)

(b) Speed squared via the Pythagorean identity(b) 利用勾股恒等式求速度的平方 M1·A1

Compute (M1)计算 (M1)

$$ \left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{dy}{dt}\right)^{2}=(t\cos t)^{2}+(t\sin t)^{2}=t^{2}\cos^{2}t+t^{2}\sin^{2}t=t^{2}(\cos^{2}t+\sin^{2}t)=t^{2}. $$

The identity used is $\cos^{2}t+\sin^{2}t=1$. (A1)所用恒等式为 $\cos^{2}t+\sin^{2}t=1$。(A1)

(c) Compute the arc length(c) 计算弧长 M1·A1

The arc length formula gives (M1)弧长公式给出 (M1)

$$ L=\int_{0}^{\pi}\sqrt{t^{2}}\,dt=\int_{0}^{\pi}|t|\,dt=\int_{0}^{\pi}t\,dt=\left[\frac{t^{2}}{2}\right]_{0}^{\pi}=\frac{\pi^{2}}{2}. $$

(Here $t\ge 0$ on $[0,\pi]$, so $|t|=t$.) (A1)(这里 $t\ge 0$ 在 $[0,\pi]$ 上,故 $|t|=t$。)(A1)

(d) Surface-area integral: set-up and evaluation(d) 表面积积分:建立与求值 M1·A1

The surface area generated by revolving about the $x$-axis is (M1)绕 $x$ 轴旋转所得旋转体的表面积为 (M1)

$$ S=2\pi\int_{0}^{\pi/2}y\,\sqrt{\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)^{2}+\left(\frac{dy}{dt}\right)^{2}}\,dt = 2\pi\int_{0}^{\pi/2}(\sin t-t\cos t)\cdot t\,dt = 2\pi\int_{0}^{\pi/2}(t\sin t - t^{2}\cos t)\,dt. $$

Integrate each term by parts. For the first: $\int t\sin t\,dt = -t\cos t+\sin t+C$. For the second: $\int t^{2}\cos t\,dt = t^{2}\sin t+2t\cos t-2\sin t+C$ (two applications of IBP). Therefore对每一项分部积分。第一项:$\int t\sin t\,dt = -t\cos t+\sin t+C$。第二项:$\int t^{2}\cos t\,dt = t^{2}\sin t+2t\cos t-2\sin t+C$(两次分部积分)。因此

$$ \int(t\sin t-t^{2}\cos t)\,dt = (-t\cos t+\sin t)-(t^{2}\sin t+2t\cos t-2\sin t)+C = 3\sin t-3t\cos t-t^{2}\sin t+C. $$

Evaluating from $0$ to $\pi/2$: at $t=\pi/2$, $\sin(\pi/2)=1$ and $\cos(\pi/2)=0$, giving $3(1)-3(\pi/2)(0)-(\pi/2)^{2}(1)=3-\pi^{2}/4$. At $t=0$ the expression equals $0$. Therefore (A1)从 $0$ 到 $\pi/2$ 求值:在 $t=\pi/2$ 处,$\sin(\pi/2)=1$,$\cos(\pi/2)=0$,得 $3(1)-3(\pi/2)(0)-(\pi/2)^{2}(1)=3-\pi^{2}/4$。在 $t=0$ 处表达式等于 $0$。因此 (A1)

$$ S = 2\pi\!\left(3-\frac{\pi^{2}}{4}\right) = 6\pi - \frac{\pi^{3}}{2}. $$
Insight. The involute of a circle is a textbook example that is algebraically "nice" because the speed simplifies to $|t|$ via the Pythagorean identity, making the arc-length integral a simple power integral. The lesson is always to compute the speed squared first and look for Pythagorean simplifications before setting up the integral. Surface-area formulas involve the factor $y$ (distance from the axis), which for the involute introduces $\sin t - t\cos t$; the resulting integrand $t\sin t - t^{2}\cos t$ requires two rounds of integration by parts but does yield the clean closed form $S=6\pi-\pi^{3}/2$. Contrast this with surface-area integrals involving $\sqrt{1+3\sin^{2}(2\theta)}$ (Q10), which produce genuine elliptic integrals with no elementary antiderivative.圆的渐开线是一个代数上"简洁"的教科书例子,因为速度通过勾股恒等式化简为 $|t|$,使弧长积分成为简单的幂函数积分。经验是:始终先计算速度的平方,在建立积分之前寻找勾股化简的机会。表面积公式包含因子 $y$(到旋转轴的距离),对于渐开线引入了 $\sin t - t\cos t$;由此产生的被积函数 $t\sin t - t^{2}\cos t$ 需要两轮分部积分,但确实得到了简洁的闭合形式 $S=6\pi-\pi^{3}/2$。与 Q10 中涉及 $\sqrt{1+3\sin^{2}(2\theta)}$ 的表面积积分对比,后者产生没有初等原函数的真正椭圆积分。
Q9HARDAPPLIEDpolar area: inside one curve and outside another极坐标面积:在一条曲线内且在另一条曲线外[10 marks]

For $r=3\cos\theta$ and $r=1+\cos\theta$: (a) find all intersection points, including the pole; (b) identify the outer curve on $[-\pi/3,\pi/3]$; (c) compute the area inside $r=3\cos\theta$ and outside $r=1+\cos\theta$.对 $r=3\cos\theta$ 和 $r=1+\cos\theta$:(a) 求所有交点,包括极点;(b) 判断 $[-\pi/3,\pi/3]$ 上的外边界曲线;(c) 计算位于 $r=3\cos\theta$ 内且位于 $r=1+\cos\theta$ 外的面积。

Answers:答案:  (a) $\theta=\pm\pi/3$ (points $(3/2,\pm\pi/3)$) and the pole(点 $(3/2,\pm\pi/3)$)及极点  ·  (b) $r=3\cos\theta$ is the outer curve$r=3\cos\theta$ 为外边界曲线  ·  (c) $A=\pi$

(a) Intersection points(a) 交点 M1·A1·A1·R1

Set $3\cos\theta=1+\cos\theta$: $2\cos\theta=1$, so $\cos\theta=\tfrac{1}{2}$. (M1) Solutions in $[0,2\pi)$: $\theta=\pi/3$ and $\theta=5\pi/3$ (equivalently $\theta=-\pi/3$). At both, $r=3\cdot\tfrac{1}{2}=\tfrac{3}{2}$. The intersection points in Cartesian form are (A1)令 $3\cos\theta=1+\cos\theta$:$2\cos\theta=1$,故 $\cos\theta=\tfrac{1}{2}$。(M1) 在 $[0,2\pi)$ 中的解为 $\theta=\pi/3$ 和 $\theta=5\pi/3$(等价地 $\theta=-\pi/3$)。在这两处,$r=3\cdot\tfrac{1}{2}=\tfrac{3}{2}$。直角坐标形式的交点为 (A1)

$$ \left(\frac{3}{2}\cos\frac{\pi}{3},\,\frac{3}{2}\sin\frac{\pi}{3}\right)=\left(\frac{3}{4},\,\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}\right) \quad\text{and}\quad \left(\frac{3}{4},\,-\frac{3\sqrt{3}}{4}\right). $$

The curves also meet at the pole. For $r=3\cos\theta=0$, we need $\theta=\pi/2$; for $r=1+\cos\theta=0$, we need $\cos\theta=-1$, i.e. $\theta=\pi$. (A1) These are different parameter values, so the pole does not appear as a solution to the simultaneous equation $3\cos\theta=1+\cos\theta$: each curve passes through the origin but at a different value of $\theta$, which is why the algebraic method misses it. (R1)两曲线也在极点相交。对 $r=3\cos\theta=0$,需要 $\theta=\pi/2$;对 $r=1+\cos\theta=0$,需要 $\cos\theta=-1$,即 $\theta=\pi$。(A1) 这些是不同的参数值,故极点不出现在联立方程 $3\cos\theta=1+\cos\theta$ 的解中:每条曲线都过原点,但对应不同的 $\theta$ 值,这就是代数方法漏掉它的原因。(R1)

(b) Identifying the outer curve(b) 判断外边界曲线 M1·A1

At $\theta=0$: $r=3\cos 0=3$ for the circle and $r=1+\cos 0=2$ for the cardioid. (M1) Since $3>2$, the circle $r=3\cos\theta$ is the outer (larger) curve on the interval $[-\pi/3,\pi/3]$, and the cardioid is the inner curve. (A1)在 $\theta=0$ 处:圆的 $r=3\cos 0=3$,心形线的 $r=1+\cos 0=2$。(M1) 由于 $3>2$,圆 $r=3\cos\theta$ 在区间 $[-\pi/3,\pi/3]$ 上是外(较大的)曲线,心形线是内曲线。(A1)

(c) Area between the curves(c) 两曲线之间的面积 M1·M1·A1·A1·A1

The area between two polar curves is $A = \tfrac{1}{2}\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}(r_{\text{outer}}^{2} - r_{\text{inner}}^{2})\,d\theta$ over the interval $[-\pi/3,\pi/3]$ where the circle is the outer curve: (M1)两极坐标曲线之间的面积为 $A = \tfrac{1}{2}\int_{\alpha}^{\beta}(r_{\text{outer}}^{2} - r_{\text{inner}}^{2})\,d\theta$,在圆为外曲线的区间 $[-\pi/3,\pi/3]$ 上:(M1)

$$ A = \frac{1}{2}\int_{-\pi/3}^{\pi/3}\bigl[(3\cos\theta)^{2}-(1+\cos\theta)^{2}\bigr]\,d\theta = \frac{1}{2}\int_{-\pi/3}^{\pi/3}\bigl[9\cos^{2}\theta - 1 - 2\cos\theta - \cos^{2}\theta\bigr]\,d\theta. $$

Simplify the integrand: $9\cos^{2}\theta - 1 - 2\cos\theta - \cos^{2}\theta = 8\cos^{2}\theta - 2\cos\theta - 1$. Using $\cos^{2}\theta = \tfrac{1}{2}(1+\cos 2\theta)$: (M1)化简被积函数:$9\cos^{2}\theta - 1 - 2\cos\theta - \cos^{2}\theta = 8\cos^{2}\theta - 2\cos\theta - 1$。利用 $\cos^{2}\theta = \tfrac{1}{2}(1+\cos 2\theta)$:(M1)

$$ 8\cdot\tfrac{1}{2}(1+\cos 2\theta) - 2\cos\theta - 1 = 4 + 4\cos 2\theta - 2\cos\theta - 1 = 3 + 4\cos 2\theta - 2\cos\theta. $$

The integrand is even in $\theta$, so the full integral with the $\tfrac{1}{2}$ polar factor becomes: (A1)被积函数关于 $\theta$ 为偶函数,故带有极坐标因子 $\tfrac{1}{2}$ 的完整积分变为:(A1)

$$ A = \frac{1}{2}\int_{-\pi/3}^{\pi/3}(3 + 4\cos 2\theta - 2\cos\theta)\,d\theta = \frac{1}{2}\cdot 2\int_{0}^{\pi/3}(3 + 4\cos 2\theta - 2\cos\theta)\,d\theta. $$ $$ = \Bigl[3\theta + 2\sin 2\theta - 2\sin\theta\Bigr]_{0}^{\pi/3}. $$

Evaluate at $\theta = \pi/3$: $3\cdot\dfrac{\pi}{3} + 2\sin\dfrac{2\pi}{3} - 2\sin\dfrac{\pi}{3} = \pi + 2\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - 2\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \pi + \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3} = \pi$. (A1)在 $\theta = \pi/3$ 处求值:$3\cdot\dfrac{\pi}{3} + 2\sin\dfrac{2\pi}{3} - 2\sin\dfrac{\pi}{3} = \pi + 2\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - 2\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \pi + \sqrt{3} - \sqrt{3} = \pi$。(A1)

At $\theta = 0$ the bracket equals $0$. Therefore $A = \pi - 0 = \pi$. (A1)在 $\theta = 0$ 处括号内等于 $0$。因此 $A = \pi - 0 = \pi$。(A1)

Insight. Finding ALL intersection angles before setting up the area integral is not optional: missing the pole, or using the wrong limits, will give a wrong answer. The geometric check here is: at $\theta=0$ the circle has radius $3$ and the cardioid has radius $2$, confirming the circle is the outer curve; using the cardioid as the outer curve would give a negative integrand and a nonsensical answer. The beautiful cancellation $\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}=0$ is the hallmark of a correctly set-up problem. Note also that the pole is a true intersection point in the $xy$-plane even though it is not captured by the algebraic equation: whenever the curves meet at the pole, they must be detected by checking each curve separately for $r=0$.在建立面积积分之前找出所有交角不是可选的:遗漏极点或使用错误的积分限将导致错误答案。此处的几何检验是:在 $\theta=0$ 处圆的半径为 $3$,心形线的半径为 $2$,确认圆为外边界曲线;若以心形线为外曲线则被积函数为负,答案无意义。漂亮的消去 $\sqrt{3}-\sqrt{3}=0$ 是正确建立问题的标志。还需注意,极点是 $xy$ 平面中真正的交点,尽管代数方程无法捕捉到它:每当曲线在极点处相交时,必须通过分别检验每条曲线的 $r=0$ 来发现它。

The rose $r=2\cos(n\theta)$ with $n=2$ (even) has $2n=4$ petals. (A1) The petal along the positive $x$-axis occurs where $r\ge 0$, i.e. $\cos(2\theta)\ge 0$. The primary interval satisfying this near $\theta=0$ is $2\theta\in[-\pi/2,\pi/2]$, giving $\theta\in[-\pi/4,\pi/4]$. (A1)玫瑰线 $r=2\cos(n\theta)$,$n=2$(偶数),有 $2n=4$ 片花瓣。(A1) 沿正 $x$ 轴方向的花瓣出现在 $r\ge 0$ 处,即 $\cos(2\theta)\ge 0$。在 $\theta=0$ 附近满足此条件的主区间为 $2\theta\in[-\pi/2,\pi/2]$,即 $\theta\in[-\pi/4,\pi/4]$。(A1)

(b) Area of one petal(b) 一片花瓣的面积 M1·M1·A1·A1

Apply the polar area formula to the interval $[-\pi/4,\pi/4]$: (M1)将极坐标面积公式应用于区间 $[-\pi/4,\pi/4]$:(M1)

$$ A=\frac{1}{2}\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}\bigl[2\cos(2\theta)\bigr]^{2}\,d\theta=\frac{1}{2}\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}4\cos^{2}(2\theta)\,d\theta=2\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}\cos^{2}(2\theta)\,d\theta. $$

Use the identity $\cos^{2}u=\tfrac{1}{2}(1+\cos 2u)$ with $u=2\theta$: (M1)用恒等式 $\cos^{2}u=\tfrac{1}{2}(1+\cos 2u)$,令 $u=2\theta$:(M1)

$$ A=2\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}\frac{1+\cos 4\theta}{2}\,d\theta=\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}(1+\cos 4\theta)\,d\theta. $$

Since the integrand is even in $\theta$: (A1)由于被积函数关于 $\theta$ 为偶函数:(A1)

$$ A=2\int_{0}^{\pi/4}(1+\cos 4\theta)\,d\theta=2\left[\theta+\frac{\sin 4\theta}{4}\right]_{0}^{\pi/4}=2\!\left(\frac{\pi}{4}+\frac{\sin\pi}{4}\right)=2\cdot\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{2}. $$

(A1) The area of one petal is $\pi/2$.(A1) 一片花瓣的面积为 $\pi/2$。

(c) Arc-length integrand(c) 弧长被积函数 M1·M1·A1·A1

Compute $dr/d\theta=-4\sin(2\theta)$. (M1) The polar arc-length formula gives integrand计算 $dr/d\theta=-4\sin(2\theta)$。(M1) 极坐标弧长公式给出被积函数

$$ \sqrt{r^{2}+\left(\frac{dr}{d\theta}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{[2\cos(2\theta)]^{2}+[-4\sin(2\theta)]^{2}}=\sqrt{4\cos^{2}(2\theta)+16\sin^{2}(2\theta)}. $$

(M1) Factor:(M1) 提取公因子:

$$ \sqrt{4\cos^{2}(2\theta)+16\sin^{2}(2\theta)}=\sqrt{4\cos^{2}(2\theta)+4\sin^{2}(2\theta)+12\sin^{2}(2\theta)}=\sqrt{4\bigl(\cos^{2}(2\theta)+\sin^{2}(2\theta)\bigr)+12\sin^{2}(2\theta)}. $$

$=\sqrt{4+12\sin^{2}(2\theta)}=2\sqrt{1+3\sin^{2}(2\theta)}$. (A1) The arc length of one petal is therefore$=\sqrt{4+12\sin^{2}(2\theta)}=2\sqrt{1+3\sin^{2}(2\theta)}$。(A1) 因此一片花瓣的弧长为

$$ L=\int_{-\pi/4}^{\pi/4}2\sqrt{1+3\sin^{2}(2\theta)}\,d\theta. $$

(A1) This is an elliptic integral and cannot be expressed in closed form using elementary functions.(A1) 这是一个椭圆积分,无法用初等函数表达为闭合形式。

Insight. The petal-count rule for even $n$ (producing $2n$ petals rather than $n$) trips up many students because odd and even roses behave differently: for $r=\cos(n\theta)$ with $n$ odd, each petal is traced once in $[0,\pi]$ (with the "back" petals traced via negative $r$), but for $n$ even, symmetry doubles the count. The area computation is clean because the half-angle identity reduces the integrand to $(1+\cos)$, while the arc-length integrand factors to a compact form $2\sqrt{1+3\sin^{2}(2\theta)}$ that is recognisably an elliptic integral in disguise, a reminder that "set up the integral" and "evaluate it in closed form" are different tasks.偶数 $n$ 的花瓣数规则(产生 $2n$ 而非 $n$ 片花瓣)让许多学生感到困惑,因为奇偶玫瑰线的行为不同:对于奇数 $n$ 的 $r=\cos(n\theta)$,每片花瓣在 $[0,\pi]$ 上被描绘一次("背面"花瓣通过负的 $r$ 描绘),但对于偶数 $n$,对称性使花瓣数加倍。面积计算简洁,因为半角恒等式将被积函数化简为 $(1+\cos)$ 形式,而弧长被积函数化简为紧凑形式 $2\sqrt{1+3\sin^{2}(2\theta)}$,这是伪装的椭圆积分,提醒我们"建立积分"和"求出闭合形式"是不同的任务。
