Presentation Transcript
You have the graph of a cubic function, ? = ?(?). The roots of the equation ?(?) = 0 are labelled A, B and C. They have coordinates (?,0),(?,0) and (?,0), respectively. Define the function.
Find the coordinates of point M, which lies on the graph ? = ?(?), and is the centre of the circle that passes through B and C.
Draw a tangent to the graph at M and determine where it cuts the ?-axis. Use algebra to work out the equation of the tangent to check your accuracy.
Equation of the cubic: ? = ? ? ? ? ? ? ? = ? ? ?2 ? + ? ? + ?? y = ?3 ? + ? + ? ?2+ ?? + ?? + ?? ? ??? ?? ??= 3 ?2 2 ? + ? + ? ? + ?? + ?? + ?? ?+? 2 ? + ? 2 At M, ??= ?-coordinate of M , 2 ?? ??= 3 ? + ? 2 2 ? + ? + ? + ?? + ?? + ?? ?? ??=3 4 ? + ?2 ?2+ 2?? + ?2 Gradient at M ?? ??= , ? + ?2 At M, ??= 4 ?+? 2 ?+? 2 ? ?+? 2 ? ?+? 2 ? ??= = ?+? 2 ? ? 2 2 2? + ? + ? ?-coordinate of M = 82? ? ? ? ?2
Equation of tangent: 82? ? ? ? ?2= (we are already using c) ? = ?? + ? ??= ???+ ? ?+? 2 ? ?2 + ? 4 ? = ? ? ?2 4 ? = ? ?2 ? + ? ? ?2 4 4 ? = ? ?2 ? ? 4 When ? = 0, ? = ?. Therefore, the tangent passes through the first root, EVERY TIME. How accurate was your tangent?
Note to teacher The same will work if they started with the first two roots, i.e. the tangent should then go through the third. In fact, the tangent at the midpoint of any pair of roots will go through the remaining root! With thanks to Mark Richards of Lancaster Grammar Schools for Girls.
