1. Complex Number Locus Problems | 复数轨迹问题
Problem: A complex number z satisfies |z − 3i| = 2|z|. Which of the following describes the locus of z in the complex plane?
题目：复数 z 满足 |z − 3i| = 2|z|，则 z 在复平面上的轨迹是下列哪一个？
- A. Circle centre (0,1), radius 2 | 圆心 (0,1)，半径 2 的圆
- B. Circle centre (0,−1), radius 2 | 圆心 (0,−1)，半径 2 的圆
- C. Circle centre (0,1), radius √5 | 圆心 (0,1)，半径 √5 的圆
- D. Circle centre (0,−1), radius √5 | 圆心 (0,−1)，半径 √5 的圆
Let z = x + iy with real x, y. The modulus condition becomes |x + i(y − 3)| = 2|x + iy|, which yields √(x² + (y−3)²) = 2√(x² + y²). Squaring both sides removes the roots.
设 z = x + iy，其中 x, y 为实数。模条件化为 |x + i(y − 3)| = 2|x + iy|，即 √(x² + (y−3)²) = 2√(x² + y²)。两边平方消去根号。
Squaring gives x² + (y−3)² = 4(x² + y²). Expand to x² + y² − 6y + 9 = 4x² + 4y², then rearrange: 3x² + 3y² + 6y − 9 = 0. Divide by 3 and complete the square for y: x² + y² + 2y − 3 = 0 → x² + (y+1)² = 4.
平方得 x² + (y−3)² = 4(x² + y²)。展开：x² + y² − 6y + 9 = 4x² + 4y²，整理得 3x² + 3y² + 6y − 9 = 0。除以 3 并对 y 配方：x² + y² + 2y − 3 = 0 → x² + (y+1)² = 4。
This is the equation of a circle with centre (0, −1) and radius √4 = 2. Hence the correct choice is B.
这是一个圆心为 (0, −1)、半径为 √4 = 2 的圆。因此正确选项为 B。
2. First-Order Linear Differential Equations | 一阶线性微分方程
Problem: Solve the differential equation dy/dx = y/x + x², given y(1) = 2.
题目：求解微分方程 dy/dx = y/x + x²，已知 y(1) = 2。
Rewrite in standard linear form: dy/dx − (1/x)y = x². The integrating factor is μ(x) = exp(∫ −1/x dx) = exp(−ln x) = 1/x.
将方程写成标准线性形式：dy/dx − (1/x)y = x²。积分因子为 μ(x) = exp(∫ −1/x dx) = exp(−ln x) = 1/x。
Multiply both sides by 1/x: (1/x) dy/dx − y/x² = x. The left side is precisely d/dx (y/x). Thus d/dx (y/x) = x.
两边乘以 1/x：(1/x) dy/dx − y/x² = x。左边恰好是 d/dx (y/x)。因此 d/dx (y/x) = x。
Integrate with respect to x: y/x = ½ x² + C, so y = ½ x³ + Cx. Applying y(1) = 2 gives 2 = ½ + C ⇒ C = 3/2. The particular solution is y = ½ x³ + (3/2)x.
对 x 积分：y/x = ½ x² + C，故 y = ½ x³ + Cx。代入 y(1) = 2 得 2 = ½ + C ⇒ C = 3/2。特解为 y = ½ x³ + (3/2)x。
3. Parametric Differentiation and Tangents | 参数方程求导与切线
Problem: A curve is defined parametrically by x = t² + t, y = t³ − 3t. Find the equation of the tangent at the point where t = 2.
题目：曲线由参数方程 x = t² + t, y = t³ − 3t 定义，求在 t = 2 处的切线方程。
Differentiate both with respect to t: dx/dt = 2t + 1, dy/dt = 3t² − 3. Therefore dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt) = (3t² − 3)/(2t + 1).
分别对 t 求导：dx/dt = 2t + 1, dy/dt = 3t² − 3。因此 dy/dx = (dy/dt) / (dx/dt) = (3t² − 3)/(2t + 1)。
At t = 2, the slope m = (3·4 − 3)/(2·2 + 1) = (12 − 3)/5 = 9/5. The coordinates are x = 2² + 2 = 6, y = 2³ − 3·2 = 2.
在 t = 2 处，斜率 m = (3·4 − 3)/(2·2 + 1) = 9/5。对应坐标为 x = 6, y = 2。
The tangent line equation: y − 2 = (9/5)(x − 6), or 5y − 9x + 44 = 0 in general form.
切线方程为 y − 2 = (9/5)(x − 6)，一般式为 5y − 9x + 44 = 0。
4. Limits Using Series Expansions | 利用级数展开求极限
Problem: Evaluate lim(x→0) (sin(3x) − 3x) / x³.
题目：求极限 lim(x→0) (sin(3x) − 3x) / x³。
Using the Maclaurin series sin θ ≈ θ − θ³/6 + O(θ⁵), substitute θ = 3x: sin(3x) = 3x − (3x)³/6 + … = 3x − (27x³)/6 + … = 3x − (9/2)x³ + O(x⁵).
利用麦克劳林展开 sin θ ≈ θ − θ³/6 + O(θ⁵)，代入 θ = 3x 得 sin(3x) = 3x − (3x)³/6 + … = 3x − (27x³)/6 + … = 3x − (9/2)x³ + O(x⁵)。
The numerator becomes sin(3x) − 3x ≈ − (9/2)x³ + higher order terms. Dividing by x³ gives −9/2 + terms that vanish as x→0.
分子变为 sin(3x) − 3x ≈ − (9/2)x³ + 高阶项。除以 x³ 后得 −9/2 加上当 x→0 时趋于零的项。
Hence the limit is −9/2. (L’Hôpital’s rule applied three times yields the same result.)
因此极限值为 −9/2。（三次使用洛必达法则也可得到相同结果。）
5. Trigonometric Equation with Double Angles | 含倍角的三角方程
Problem: Solve cos(2θ) + 3 sin θ = 2 for 0 ≤ θ < 2π.
题目：在 0 ≤ θ < 2π 范围内解方程 cos(2θ) + 3 sin θ = 2。
Use the double-angle identity cos(2θ) = 1 − 2 sin²θ. Substitution gives 1 − 2 sin²θ + 3 sin θ = 2, which simplifies to −2 sin²θ + 3 sin θ − 1 = 0, or 2 sin²θ − 3 sin θ + 1 = 0.
利用倍角公式 cos(2θ) = 1 − 2 sin²θ，代入得 1 − 2 sin²θ + 3 sin θ = 2，化简为 −2 sin²θ + 3 sin θ − 1 = 0，即 2 sin²θ − 3 sin θ + 1 = 0。
Factorise the quadratic: (2 sin θ − 1)(sin θ − 1) = 0. Thus sin θ = 1/2 or sin θ = 1.
因式分解得 (2 sin θ − 1)(sin θ − 1) = 0，所以 sin θ = 1/2 或 sin θ = 1。
In the given interval, sin θ = 1/2 gives θ = π/6, 5π/6; sin θ = 1 gives θ = π/2. The solution set is {π/6, π/2, 5π/6}.
在指定区间内，sin θ = 1/2 解得 θ = π/6, 5π/6；sin θ = 1 解得 θ = π/2。解集为 {π/6, π/2, 5π/6}。
6. Integration by Substitution | 换元积分法
Problem: Evaluate ∫₀¹ x √(1 + x²) dx.
题目：计算定积分 ∫₀¹ x √(1 + x²) dx。
Let u = 1 + x², then du = 2x dx, so x dx = ½ du. When x = 0, u = 1; when x = 1, u = 2.
令 u = 1 + x²，则 du = 2x dx，即 x dx = ½ du。当 x = 0 时 u = 1；当 x = 1 时 u = 2。
The integral transforms to ½ ∫₁² √u du = ½ ∫₁² u^{1/2} du. Integrate: ½ × (2/3) u^{3/2} = (1/3) u^{3/2} evaluated from 1 to 2.
积分化为 ½ ∫₁² √u du = ½ ∫₁² u^{1/2} du。积分得 ½ × (2/3) u^{3/2} = (1/3) u^{3/2}，从 1 到 2 取值。
Substituting the limits: (1/3)(2^{3/2} − 1^{3/2}) = (1/3)(2√2 − 1). Therefore the value is (2√2 − 1)/3.
代入上下限：(1/3)(2^{3/2} − 1^{3/2}) = (1/3)(2√2 − 1)。故积分值为 (2√2 − 1)/3。
7. Vector Geometry: Angle Between Vectors | 向量几何：求向量夹角
Problem: Given points A(1,2,3), B(4,0,5) and C(2,−1,4), find the angle ABC in degrees to one decimal place.
题目：已知点 A(1,2,3)、B(4,0,5) 和 C(2,−1,4)，求角 ABC（精确至 0.1°）。
Vectors from vertex B: BA = A − B = (1−4, 2−0, 3−5) = (−3, 2, −2); BC = C − B = (2−4, −1−0, 4−5) = (−2, −1, −1).
从顶点 B 出发的向量：BA = A − B = (−3, 2, −2)；BC = C − B = (−2, −1, −1)。
The dot product BA · BC = (−3)(−2) + (2)(−1) + (−2)(−1) = 6 − 2 + 2 = 6. Magnitudes: |BA| = √{9+4+4} = √17, |BC| = √{4+1+1} = √6.
点积 BA · BC = 6。模长：|BA| = √17，|BC| = √6。
cos ∠ABC = (BA·BC) / (|BA||BC|) = 6 / (√17 √6) = 6 / √102. Hence ∠ABC = arccos(6/√102) ≈ 53.6°.
cos ∠ABC = 6 / √102。因此 ∠ABC = arccos(6/√102) ≈ 53.6°。
8. Roots of Polynomials and Symmetric Sums | 多项式根与对称和
Problem: If α and β are roots of x² − 5x + 6 = 0, find α³ + β³ without solving for the roots directly.
题目：若 α 与 β 为方程 x² − 5x + 6 = 0 的根，不直接求根，计算 α³ + β³。
By Vieta’s formulas: sum α + β = 5, product αβ = 6. The identity α³ + β³ = (α+β)³ − 3αβ(α+β).
由韦达定理：α + β = 5，αβ = 6。恒等式：α³ + β³ = (α+β)³ − 3αβ(α+β)。
Substitute: (5)³ − 3·6·5 = 125 − 90 = 35. Thus α³ + β³ = 35.
代入得 125 − 90 = 35，故 α³ + β³ = 35。
9. Combinatorics: Counting Principles | 组合计数原理
Problem: A security code consists of 3 distinct digits chosen from 0–9, followed by 2 distinct letters from A–Z. How many possible codes exist?
题目：一个安全码由 3 个不同的数字（0–9）和随后的 2 个不同的字母（A–Z）组成。共有多少种可能的编码？
Choose the three digits: 10 choices for the first digit, then 9, then 8. Number of ways = 10 × 9 × 8 = 720.
先选三个不同的数字：第一位 10 种选择，第二位 9 种，第三位 8 种，共 10 × 9 × 8 = 720 种。
Choose the two distinct letters: 26 options for the first letter, 25 for the second. Number of ways = 26 × 25 = 650.
再选两个不同的字母：第一个字母 26 种，第二个 25 种，共 26 × 25 = 650 种。
Multiply the independent choices: total codes = 720 × 650 = 468,000.
由于是分步独立选择，总编码数 = 720 × 650 = 468,000。
10. Matrix Operations and Transformations | 矩阵运算与变换
Problem: Let M = [2 1; −1 3] and v = (1, 2) as a column vector. Compute M² v.
题目：设矩阵 M = [2 1; −1 3]，列向量 v = (1, 2)ᵀ，计算 M² v。
First find M² = M × M. Multiply: row1·col1 = 2·2 + 1·(−1) = 3; row1·col2 = 2·1 + 1·3 = 5; row2·col1 = (−1)·2 + 3·(−1) = −5; row2·col2 = (−1)·1 + 3·3 = 8. Hence M² = [3 5; −5 8].
先计算 M² = M × M。乘法结果：第一行第一列
