1. Parametric Equations and Motion | 参数方程与运动

A particle moves in the xy-plane so that its position at time t is given by x(t) = 3t² − t and y(t) = e^t + sin t. Find the speed at t = 1 and the total distance traveled from t = 0 to t = 2.

一质点在平面内运动，位置参数方程为 x(t) = 3t² − t，y(t) = e^t + sin t。求 t = 1 时的速率，以及从 t = 0 到 t = 2 运动的总路程。

First, compute the velocity components: dx/dt = 6t − 1 and dy/dt = e^t + cos t.

首先求出速度分量：dx/dt = 6t − 1，dy/dt = e^t + cos t。

At t = 1, dx/dt = 6(1) − 1 = 5, and dy/dt = e + cos 1. The speed is the magnitude of the velocity vector: v(1) = √[(5)² + (e + cos 1)²]. No exact simplification is expected; this expression is correct for a calculator-active question.

在 t = 1 处，dx/dt = 5，dy/dt = e + cos 1。速率是速度向量的大小：v(1) = √[25 + (e + cos 1)²]。此题通常保留表达式或使用计算器求近似值。

The total distance traveled is the integral of speed: Distance = ∫₀² √[(6t − 1)² + (e^t + cos t)²] dt. This integral must be evaluated numerically. The key is setting up the correct integrand.

总路程是速率的积分：路程 = ∫₀² √[(6t − 1)² + (e^t + cos t)²] dt。该积分需要数值计算，关键是要正确建立被积表达式。

2. Polar Coordinates: Area and Arc Length | 极坐标：面积与弧长

Consider the rose curve r = 3cos(3θ). Find the area of one petal. Also, find the length of the cardioid r = 2 + 2cos θ from θ = 0 to π.

已知玫瑰线 r = 3cos(3θ)，求一个花瓣的面积。并求心脏线 r = 2 + 2cos θ 在 θ 从 0 到 π 的弧长。

One petal of r = 3cos(3θ) is traced when cos(3θ) ≥ 0. The limits for one petal can be taken from θ = −π/6 to θ = π/6. The area in polar coordinates is A = ½ ∫ r² dθ = ½ ∫_−π/6^π/6 9cos²(3θ) dθ.

一个花瓣对应 cos(3θ) ≥ 0，可取积分限 θ 从 −π/6 到 π/6。极坐标面积公式为 A = ½ ∫ r² dθ = ½ ∫_−π/6^π/6 9cos²(3θ) dθ。

Use the power-reduction identity cos²u = (1 + cos2u)/2. Replace u = 3θ to get cos²(3θ) = (1 + cos6θ)/2. Then A = ½ ∫ 9 × (1 + cos6θ)/2 dθ = (9/4) ∫_−π/6^π/6 (1 + cos6θ) dθ = (9/4)[θ + (1/6)sin6θ] evaluated from −π/6 to π/6 = (9/4)(π/3) = 3π/4.

利用降幂公式 cos²u = (1 + cos2u)/2，令 u = 3θ，得 cos²(3θ) = (1 + cos6θ)/2。于是 A = (9/4) ∫_−π/6^π/6 (1 + cos6θ) dθ = (9/4)[θ + (1/6)sin6θ] = (9/4)(π/3) = 3π/4。

For the cardioid arc length, first find dr/dθ = −2sin θ. The polar arc length formula is L = ∫ √(r² + (dr/dθ)²) dθ = ∫₀^π √[(2 + 2cos θ)² + 4sin²θ] dθ.

对心脏线弧长，先求 dr/dθ = −2sin θ。极坐标弧长公式为 L = ∫ √(r² + (dr/dθ)²) dθ = ∫_{0Published by TutorHao | AP Mathematics Revision Series | aleveler.com}
