1. Complex Numbers: Extracting Square Roots | 复数：平方根求解
Question: Find the two square roots of the complex number 5 − 12i, expressing each in the form a + bi where a, b ∈ ℝ.
问题：求复数 5 − 12i 的两个平方根，用 a + bi（a, b ∈ ℝ）的形式表示。
Let the square root be x + yi. Then (x + yi)² = 5 − 12i, which expands to (x² − y²) + 2xyi = 5 − 12i.
设平方根为 x + yi。于是 (x + yi)² = 5 − 12i，展开得 (x² − y²) + 2xyi = 5 − 12i。
Equating real and imaginary parts gives x² − y² = 5 and 2xy = −12. From the second equation, xy = −6.
比较实部和虚部得 x² − y² = 5 以及 2xy = −12。由第二个方程得 xy = −6。
Substituting y = −6/x into x² − y² = 5 yields x² − 36/x² = 5. Multiply by x²: x⁴ − 5x² − 36 = 0, which factors as (x² − 9)(x² + 4) = 0.
将 y = −6/x 代入 x² − y² = 5 得 x² − 36/x² = 5。两边乘 x²：x⁴ − 5x² − 36 = 0，因式分解为 (x² − 9)(x² + 4) = 0。
Since x is real, x² = 9 ⇒ x = ±3. Using xy = −6, when x = 3, y = −2; when x = −3, y = 2. Hence the square roots are 3 − 2i and −3 + 2i.
由于 x 为实数，x² = 9 ⇒ x = ±3。利用 xy = −6，当 x = 3 时 y = −2；当 x = −3 时 y = 2。因此平方根为 3 − 2i 和 −3 + 2i。
Always check by squaring: (3 − 2i)² = 9 − 12i + 4i² = 5 − 12i, confirming the result.
始终通过平方检验：(3 − 2i)² = 9 − 12i + 4i² = 5 − 12i，验证结果正确。
2. Polynomial Roots and Vieta’s Relations | 多项式根与韦达定理
Question: The cubic equation z³ − 4z² + kz − 6 = 0 has roots α, β, γ. Given that αβ = 3, determine the value of k.
问题：三次方程 z³ − 4z² + kz − 6 = 0 的根为 α, β, γ。已知 αβ = 3，求 k 的值。
For a cubic z³ + a₂z² + a₁z + a₀ = 0, Vieta’s formulas give: sum of roots Σα = −a₂, sum of pairwise products Σαβ = a₁, and product αβγ = −a₀.
对于三次方程 z³ + a₂z² + a₁z + a₀ = 0，韦达定理给出：根的和 Σα = −a₂，两两根积之和 Σαβ = a₁，以及根的乘积 αβγ = −a₀。
Here Σα = α + β + γ = 4, Σαβ = αβ + βγ + γα = k, and αβγ = 6.
此处 Σα = α + β + γ = 4，Σαβ = αβ + βγ + γα = k，αβγ = 6。
We are given αβ = 3. Then from αβγ = 6 we get γ = 6/3 = 2.
已知 αβ = 3。由 αβγ = 6 得 γ = 6/3 = 2。
Using α + β + γ = 4 with γ = 2 gives α + β = 2. Now Σαβ = αβ + γ(α + β) = 3 + 2(2) = 7, so k = 7.
利用 α + β + γ = 4 和 γ = 2 得 α + β = 2。则 Σαβ = αβ + γ(α + β) = 3 + 2(2) = 7，所以 k = 7。
This demonstrates how cleverly applying symmetric sums can bypass finding individual roots.
这展示了巧妙运用对称和如何绕过求解每个单独的根。
3. Matrix Algebra: Multiplication and Inverse | 矩阵代数：乘法与逆
Question: Given A = ( 2 1; 3 4 ) and B = ( −1 0; 2 5 ), find AB and the inverse of A.
问题：已知 A = ( 2 1; 3 4 )，B = ( −1 0; 2 5 )，求 AB 及 A 的逆矩阵。
For AB, compute each entry: row 1 col 1: (2)(−1) + (1)(2) = 0; row 1 col 2: (2)(0) + (1)(5) = 5; row 2 col 1: (3)(−1) + (4)(2) = 5; row 2 col 2: (3)(0) + (4)(5) = 20. So AB = ( 0 5; 5 20 ).
计算 AB 的每个元素：第1行第1列：(2)(−1) + (1)(2) = 0；第1行第2列：(2)(0) + (1)(5) = 5；第2行第1列：(3)(−1) + (4)(2) = 5；第2行第2列：(3)(0) + (4)(5) = 20。所以 AB = ( 0 5; 5 20 )。
The inverse of a 2×2 matrix ( a b; c d ) is 1/(ad − bc) ( d −b; −c a ). For A, determinant = (2)(4) − (1)(3) = 5. Thus A⁻¹ = 1/5 ( 4 −1; −3 2 ) = ( 4/5 −1/5; −3/5 2/5 ).
2×2 矩阵的逆为 1/(ad − bc) ( d −b; −c a )。对 A，行列式 = (2)(4) − (1)(3) = 5。因此 A⁻¹ = 1/5 ( 4 −1; −3 2 ) = ( 4/5 −1/5; −3/5 2/5 )。
Check by multiplying A A⁻¹ to verify the identity matrix. This step is essential to avoid sign errors.
通过计算 A A⁻¹ 验证得到单位矩阵。这一步对于避免符号错误至关重要。
4. Vectors: Dot Product and Angle Between Lines | 向量：点积与线线角
Question: Two straight lines have direction vectors d₁ = 2i − j + 2k and d₂ = i + 2j − 2k. Find the acute angle between them, giving your answer to the nearest 0.1°.
问题：两条直线的方向向量为 d₁ = 2i − j + 2k 和 d₂ = i + 2j − 2k。求它们之间的锐角，精确到 0.1°。
The angle θ between vectors u and v is given by cos θ = (u·v) / (|u||v|). Compute dot product: 2×1 + (−1)×2 + 2×(−2) = 2 − 2 − 4 = −4.
向量 u 与 v 的夹角 θ 满足 cos θ = (u·v) / (|u||v|)。计算点积：2×1 + (−1)×2 + 2×(−2) = 2 − 2 − 4 = −4。
Magnitudes: |d₁| = √(2² + (−1)² + 2²) = √9 = 3; |d₂| = √(1² + 2² + (−2)²) = √9 = 3.
模长：|d₁| = √(2² + (−1)² + 2²) = √9 = 3；|d₂| = √(1² + 2² + (−2)²) = √9 = 3。
Thus cos θ = −4/(3×3) = −4/9. The angle whose cosine is 4/9 is arccos(4/9) ≈ 63.612°. Because cos is negative, the angle between lines is supplementary: 180° − 63.612° = 116.388°, but we want the acute angle, which is 180° − 116.388° = 63.6° (or simply the supplement of the obtuse angle). In fact, the acute angle is arccos(|−4/9|) = arccos(4/9) ≈ 63.6°.
因此 cos θ = −4/(3×3) = −4/9。余弦值为 4/9 的角度为 arccos(4/9) ≈ 63.612°。因为余弦为负，线的夹角为补角：180° − 63.612° = 116.388°，但我们要求锐角，即 180° − 116.388° = 63.6°（或直接取反余弦绝对值）。事实上，锐角为 arccos(|−4/9|) = arccos(4/9) ≈ 63.6°。
Always report the acute angle unless instructed otherwise. Here θ = 63.6°.
除非另有说明，通常报告锐角。这里 θ = 63.6°。
5. Differentiation: Product and Chain Rule | 微分：乘积法则与链式法则
Question: Differentiate f(x) = x² e^(3x) with respect to x, simplifying your answer.
问题：对 f(x) = x² e^(3x) 关于 x 求导，并化简结果。
Use the product rule: if u = x² and v = e^(3x), then f’ = u’v + uv’. Here u’ = 2x. For v = e^(3x), v’ = 3e^(3x) by the chain rule.
使用乘积法则：设 u = x²，v = e^(3x)，则 f’ = u’v + uv’。这里 u’ = 2x。对 v = e^(3x)，由链式法则 v’ = 3e^(3x)。
Thus f'(x) = 2x e^(3x) + x² · 3e^(3x) = e^(3x)(2x + 3x²).
因此 f'(x) = 2x e^(3x) + x² · 3e^(3x) = e^(3x)(2x + 3x²)。
Factor x: f'(x) = x e^(3x)(2 + 3x). This factored form helps in finding stationary points.
提取因子 x：f'(x) = x e^(3x)(2 + 3x)。此因式分解形式有助于求驻点。
Always factor exponentials where possible, as e^(3x) is never zero, so critical points occur only where x = 0 or 2 + 3x = 0.
尽可能对指数因式分解，因为 e^(3x) 永不为零，所以临界点仅出现在 x = 0 或 2 + 3x = 0 处。
6. Integration: Substitution Method | 积分：代换法
Question: Use the substitution u = 1 + x² to find ∫ (6x / √(1 + x²)) dx.
问题：利用代换 u = 1 + x² 求 ∫ (6x / √(1 + x²)) dx。
Let u = 1 + x² ⇒ du/dx = 2x ⇒ x dx = ½ du. Rewrite the integral: ∫ 6x (1 + x²)^(−1/2) dx = ∫ 6 · (x dx) · u^(−1/2) = 6 · (½ du) · u^(−1/2) = 3∫ u^(−1/2) du.
令 u = 1 + x² ⇒ du/dx = 2x ⇒ x dx = ½ du。重写被积函数：∫ 6x (1 + x²)^(−1/2) dx = ∫ 6 · (x dx) · u^(−1/2) = 6 · (½ du) · u^(−1/2) = 3∫ u^(−1/2) du。
Integrating u^(−1/2) gives u^(1/2) / (1/2) = 2√u. So the integral becomes 3 · 2√u + C = 6√u + C.
对 u^(−1/2) 积分得 u^(1/2) / (1/2) = 2√u。因此原积分为 3 · 2√u + C = 6√u + C。
Substitute back u = 1 + x², giving final answer 6√(1 + x²) + C. Verify by differentiation: derivative is 6 · ½(1 + x²)^(−1/2) · 2x = 6x/√(1 + x²), correct.
代回 u = 1 + x²，得最终答案 6√(1 + x²) + C。通过求导验证：导数为 6 · ½(1 + x²)^(−1/2) · 2x = 6x/√(1 + x²)，正确。
When using substitution, always express x dx in terms of du and cancel constants carefully.
使用代换法时，始终将 x dx 用 du 表示，并仔细约分常数。
7. Series: Method of Differences | 级数：差分法求和
Question: By expressing 1/(r(r+1)) in partial fractions, find Σ[r=1 to n] 1/(r(r+1)) and hence evaluate Σ[r=1 to ∞] 1/(r(r+1)).
问题：将 1/(r(r+1)) 化为部分分式，由此求 Σ[r=1 to n] 1/(r(r+1))，并计算 Σ[r=1 to ∞] 1/(r(r+1))。
Partial fractions: 1/(r(r+1)) = A/r + B/(r+1). Solving gives A = 1, B = −1. Therefore 1/(r(r+1)) = 1/r − 1/(r+1).
部分分式：1/(r(r+1)) = A/r + B/(r+1)。解得 A = 1，B = −1。因此 1/(r(r+1)) = 1/r − 1/(r+1)。
Sum from r=1 to n: S_n = (1/1 − 1/2) + (1/2 − 1/3) + (1/3 − 1/4) + … + (1/n − 1/(n+1)).
从 r=1 到 n 求和：S_n = (1/1 − 1/2) + (1/2 − 1/3) + (1/3 − 1/4) + … + (1/n − 1/(n+1))。
Notice the telescoping cancellation: all intermediate terms vanish. The sum simplifies to S_n = 1 − 1/(n+1) = n/(n+1).
注意到错位相消：所有中间项相互抵消。和化简为 S_n = 1 − 1/(n+1) = n/(n+1)。
As n → ∞, 1/(n+1) → 0, so the infinite sum converges to 1. This is a classic example of a telescoping series.
当 n → ∞ 时，1/(n+1) → 0，因此无穷级数收敛于 1。这是错位相消级数的经典示例。
8. Polar Coordinates: Curve Sketching and Tangents | 极坐标：曲线绘制与切线
Question: A curve has polar equation r = 2(1 + cos θ), 0 ≤ θ < 2π. Find the points where the tangent is parallel to the initial line.
问题：一曲线的极坐标方程为 r = 2(1 + cos θ)，0 ≤ θ < 2π。求切线平行于极轴的点。
In polar coordinates, the tangent is parallel to the initial line (horizontal) when dy/dθ = 0. Here y = r sin θ = 2(1 + cos θ) sin θ = 2 sin θ + 2 sin θ cos θ = 2 sin θ + sin 2θ.
在极坐标中，切线平行于极轴（水平）当 dy/dθ = 0。这里 y = r sin θ = 2(1 + cos θ) sin θ = 2 sin θ + 2 sin θ cos θ = 2 sin θ + sin 2θ。
Differentiate: dy/dθ = 2 cos θ + 2 cos 2θ. Set to zero: 2 cos θ + 2 cos 2θ = 0 ⇒ cos θ + cos 2θ = 0.
求导：dy/dθ = 2 cos θ + 2 cos 2θ。令为零：2 cos θ + 2 cos 2θ = 0 ⇒ cos θ + cos 2θ = 0。
Use double-angle identity: cos 2θ = 2 cos²θ − 1. Then cos θ + 2 cos²θ − 1 = 0 ⇒ 2 cos²θ + cos θ − 1 = 0.
用倍角公式：cos 2θ = 2 cos²θ − 1。则 cos θ + 2 cos²θ − 1 = 0 ⇒ 2 cos²θ + cos θ − 1 = 0。
Factor: (2 cos θ − 1)(cos θ + 1) = 0. So cos θ = ½ or cos θ = −1.
因式分解：(2 cos θ − 1)(cos θ + 1) = 0。所以 cos θ = ½ 或 cos θ = −1。
For cos θ = ½, θ = π/3, 5π/3. For cos θ = −1, θ = π. Find corresponding r: when θ = π, r = 2(1 − 1) = 0 (pole); tangents at the pole need separate treatment. For θ = π/3, r = 2(1 + ½) = 3; for θ = 5π/3, r = 2(1 + ½) = 3. The points are (3, π/3) and (3, 5π/3).
cos θ = ½ 得 θ = π/3, 5π/3。cos θ = −1 得 θ = π。求相应的 r：当 θ = π 时 r = 2(1 − 1) = 0（极点）；极点处的切线需单独讨论。对于 θ = π/3，r = 2(1 + ½) = 3；θ = 5π/3，r = 3。点为 (3, π/3) 和 (3, 5π/3)。
Thus the tangent is horizontal at these two polar points.
因此在这两个极坐标点处切线水平。
9. Hyperbolic Functions: Solving Equations | 双曲函数：解方程
Question: Solve for real x: 3 sinh x − 2 cosh x = 1.
问题：求解实数 x：3 sinh x − 2 cosh x = 1。
Express sinh and cosh in exponential form: sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2, cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2. Substitute into the equation:
用指数形式表示 sinh 和 cosh：sinh x = (eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2，cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2。代入方程：
3[(eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2] − 2[(eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2] = 1 ⇒ (3eˣ − 3e⁻ˣ − 2eˣ − 2e⁻ˣ)/2 = 1 ⇒ (eˣ − 5e⁻ˣ)/2 = 1 ⇒ eˣ − 5e⁻ˣ = 2.
3[(eˣ − e⁻ˣ)/2] − 2[(eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2] = 1 ⇒ (3eˣ − 3e⁻ˣ − 2eˣ − 2e⁻ˣ)/2 = 1 ⇒ (eˣ − 5e⁻ˣ)/2 = 1 ⇒ eˣ − 5e⁻ˣ = 2。
Multiply through by eˣ: (eˣ)² − 5 = 2eˣ ⇒ (eˣ)² − 2eˣ − 5 = 0. This is a quadratic in eˣ.
两边乘 eˣ：(eˣ)² − 5 = 2eˣ ⇒ (eˣ)² − 2eˣ − 5 = 0。这是一个关于 eˣ 的二次方程。
Let y = eˣ, then y² − 2y − 5 = 0. Solve: y = [2 ± √(4 + 20)]/2 = 1 ± √6. Since y = eˣ > 0, we take y = 1 + √6.
设 y = eˣ，则 y² − 2y − 5 = 0。解：y = [2 ± √(4 + 20)]/2 = 1 ± √6。因为 y = eˣ > 0，取 y = 1 + √6。
Thus x = ln(1 + √6). This is the only real solution.
因此 x = ln(1 + √6)。这是唯一的实数解。
Converting to exponentials often turns hyperbolic equations into quadratic ones, a standard technique.
转换为指数形式通常将双曲方程转化为二次方程，这是一个标准技巧。
10. Proof by Induction: Summation Formula | 归纳法证明：求和公式
Question: Prove by induction that for all positive integers n, Σ[r=1 to n] r·r! = (n+1)! − 1.
问题：用归纳法证明对所有正整数 n，Σ[r=1 to n] r·r! = (n+1)! − 1。
Base case n = 1: LHS = 1·1! = 1. RHS = (1+1)! − 1 = 2! − 1 = 1. True.
基础情形 n = 1：左式 = 1·1! = 1。右式 = (1+1)! − 1 = 2! − 1 = 1。成立。
Inductive step: Assume true for n = k, i.e., Σ[r=1 to k] r·r! = (k+1)! − 1. Consider n = k+1:
归纳步骤：假设 n = k 时成立，即 Σ[r=1 to k] r·r! = (k+1)! − 1。考虑 n = k+1：
Σ[r=1 to k+1] r·r! = Σ[r=1 to k] r·r! + (k+1)(k+1)! = (k+1)! − 1 + (k+1)(k+1)!.
Σ[r=1 to k+1] r·r! = Σ[r=1 to k] r·r! + (k+1)(k+1)! = (k+1)! − 1 + (k+1)(k+1)!。
Factor (k+1)!: = (k+1)![1 + (k+1)] − 1 = (k+1)!(k+2) − 1 = (k+2)! − 1. This matches the RHS for n = k+1. Hence by induction, the formula holds for all n ∈ ℤ⁺.
提取因子 (k+1)!：= (k+1)![1 + (k+1)] − 1 = (k+1)!(k+2) − 1 = (k+2)! − 1。这正是 n = k+1 时的右式。因此由归纳法，公式对所有正整数 n 成立。
Remember to clearly state the inductive hypothesis and show how it leads to the next case.
记住要清晰陈述归纳假设，并展示如何推导到下一个情形。
