2. Complex Numbers and de Moivre’s Theorem | 复数与棣莫弗定理
Question: Express (1 + i√3)⁶ in the form a + ib, and find the three cube roots of 8i in polar form. (8 marks)
问题：将 (1 + i√3)⁶ 表示为 a + ib 的形式，并求 8i 的三个立方根，用极坐标形式表示。（8 分）
Solution: First write 1 + i√3 in modulus-argument form. Its modulus is √(1² + (√3)²) = 2, and the argument is tan⁻¹(√3/1) = π/3. Thus 1 + i√3 = 2(cos(π/3) + i sin(π/3)). By de Moivre’s theorem, (1 + i√3)⁶ = 2⁶[cos(6 × π/3) + i sin(6 × π/3)] = 64[cos(2π) + i sin(2π)] = 64(1 + 0i) = 64.
解答：首先写出 1 + i√3 的模-幅角形式。模长为 √(1² + (√3)²) = 2，幅角为 tan⁻¹(√3/1) = π/3，因此 1 + i√3 = 2(cos(π/3) + i sin(π/3))。利用棣莫弗定理，(1 + i√3)⁶ = 2⁶[cos(6 × π/3) + i sin(6 × π/3)] = 64[cos(2π) + i sin(2π)] = 64(1 + 0i) = 64。
For 8i, its modulus is 8, argument is π/2, so 8i = 8(cos(π/2) + i sin(π/2)). The cube roots have modulus ⁸√8 = 2, and arguments (π/2 + 2kπ)/3 for k = 0, 1, 2. This gives π/6, 5π/6, 3π/2. The roots are 2cis(π/6), 2cis(5π/6), 2cis(3π/2). Common mistake: forgetting to add 2kπ before dividing by the root index.
对于 8i，模长为 8，幅角为 π/2，故 8i = 8(cos(π/2) + i sin(π/2))。立方根的模长为 ∛8 = 2，幅角为 (π/2 + 2kπ)/3，k = 0,1,2，分别得到 π/6、5π/6、3π/2。三个根为 2cis(π/6)、2cis(5π/6)、2cis(3π/2)。常见错误：忘记在除以根次前加上 2kπ。
3. Roots of Polynomial Equations | 多项式方程的根
Question: Given that 2 is a root of z³ – 5z² + kz – 6 = 0, find the value of k and determine the other two roots. (7 marks)
问题：已知 2 是方程 z³ – 5z² + kz – 6 = 0 的一个根，求 k 的值并确定另外两个根。（7 分）
Solution: Substitute z = 2 into the polynomial: 2³ – 5(2²) + k(2) – 6 = 0 → 8 – 20 + 2k – 6 = 0 → 2k – 18 = 0 → k = 9. The equation becomes z³ – 5z² + 9z – 6 = 0. Since 2 is a root, (z – 2) is a factor. Perform polynomial division to obtain the quadratic factor: (z³ – 5z² + 9z – 6) ÷ (z – 2) = z² – 3z + 3. Solve z² – 3z + 3 = 0 using the quadratic formula: z = [3 ± √(9 – 12)]/2 = (3 ± i√3)/2. Thus the other roots are (3 + i√3)/2 and (3 – i√3)/2.
解答：将 z = 2 代入多项式：2³ – 5(2²) + k(2) – 6 = 0 → 8 – 20 + 2k – 6 = 0 → 2k – 18 = 0 → k = 9。方程化为 z³ – 5z² + 9z – 6 = 0。因为 2 是一个根，故存在因式 (z – 2)。进行多项式除法，得二次因式：(z³ – 5z² + 9z – 6) ÷ (z – 2) = z² – 3z + 3。解二次方程 z² – 3z + 3 = 0，求根公式得 z = [3 ± √(9 – 12)]/2 = (3 ± i√3)/2。因此另外两个根为 (3 + i√3)/2 和 (3 – i√3)/2。
This problem illustrates the factor theorem and the expected link between real and complex conjugate roots when coefficients are real. Always check your factorisation by expanding back.
本题示范了因式定理的应用，并提醒当系数为实数时，复根总是成对出现。务必通过展开因式来验证结果。
4. Hyperbolic Functions and Equations | 双曲函数与方程
Question: Solve the equation 2 cosh x + sinh x = 3, giving your answers in logarithmic form. (6 marks)
问题：解方程 2 cosh x + sinh x = 3，答案用对数形式表示。（6 分）
Solution: Use the definitions cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2 and sinh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2. Substitute into the equation: 2[(eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2] + (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2 = 3. Simplify the left-hand side: (eˣ + e⁻ˣ) + (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2 = (2eˣ + 2e⁻ˣ + eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2 = (3eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2. Set equal to 3: (3eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2 = 3 → 3eˣ + e⁻ˣ = 6. Multiply through by eˣ: 3e²ˣ + 1 = 6eˣ → 3e²ˣ – 6eˣ + 1 = 0. Let u = eˣ, then 3u² – 6u + 1 = 0. Solve: u = [6 ± √(36 – 12)]/(2×3) = [6 ± √24]/6 = [6 ± 2√6]/6 = 1 ± (√6)/3. Since u = eˣ > 0, both solutions are positive? Check: 1 – √6/3 ≈ 1 – 0.816 = 0.184 > 0, so both are acceptable. Take natural logarithms: x = ln(1 + √6/3) or x = ln(1 – √6/3). These are the required logarithmic forms.
解答：利用定义 cosh x = (eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2、sinh x = (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2 代入方程：2[(eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2] + (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2 = 3。化简左边：(eˣ + e⁻ˣ) + (eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2 = (2eˣ + 2e⁻ˣ + eˣ – e⁻ˣ)/2 = (3eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2。令其等于 3：(3eˣ + e⁻ˣ)/2 = 3 → 3eˣ + e⁻ˣ = 6。两边同乘 eˣ：3e²ˣ + 1 = 6eˣ → 3e²ˣ – 6eˣ + 1 = 0。设 u = eˣ，得 3u² – 6u + 1 = 0。求解：u = [6 ± √(36 – 12)]/(2×3) = [6 ± √24]/6 = [6 ± 2√6]/6 = 1 ± (√6)/3。由于 u = eˣ > 0，检验 1 – √6/3 ≈ 0.184 > 0，两个解都满足。取自然对数：x = ln(1 + √6/3) 或 x = ln(1 – √6/3)。这就是所要求的对数形式。
Always convert hyperbolic equations to exponentials when the method is not obvious from identities. The key step is multiplying by eˣ to get a quadratic.
当恒等变形不明显时，总是将双曲方程转化为指数形式。关键步骤是乘上 eˣ 得到一元二次方程。
5. Matrices and Linear Transformations | 矩阵与线性变换
Question: The linear transformation T acts on the plane by the matrix M = [[3, 1], [1, 3]]. Find the image of the line y = 2x under T. (7 marks)
问题：线性变换 T 作用在平面上的矩阵为 M = [[3, 1], [1, 3]]。求直线 y = 2x 在 T 下的像。（7 分）
Solution: A point on the original line can be written as (t, 2t) for parameter t. Its image under T is M × (t, 2t)ᵀ = [3t + 2t, t + 6t] = [5t, 7t] = (5t, 7t). So image points satisfy x’ = 5t, y’ = 7t. Eliminate t to obtain the Cartesian equation: y’ = (7/5)x’, or written as 7x – 5y = 0. Alternatively, one can find the image of two distinct points on the line and determine the equation of the line through their images. It is good practice to confirm that the transformation is invertible (det M ≠ 0) and that the image is indeed a line.
解答：原直线上的点可参数化表示为 (t, 2t)。它在 T 下的像为 M × (t, 2t)ᵀ = [3t + 2t, t + 6t] = [5t, 7t] = (5t, 7t)。因此像点满足 x’ = 5t，y’ = 7t。消去参数 t 得到笛卡尔方程：y’ = (7/5)x’，即 7x – 5y = 0。另一种方法是选取直线上两个不同点，分别求出它们的像，然后确定经过这两个像点的直线方程。验证变换是可逆的（det M ≠ 0）并且像确实是一条直线，这是良好的解题习惯。
This parametric approach is extremely efficient for lines. If the question involved a circle or conic, you would invert the transformation and substitute into the original equation.
这种参数化方法对于直线非常高效。如果题目涉及圆或二次曲线，则应将逆变换代入原方程进行求解。
6. Polar Coordinates and Area | 极坐标与面积计算
Question: Sketch the curve r = 2 + cos θ for 0 ≤ θ < 2π and find the total area enclosed by the curve. (10 marks)
问题：画出曲线 r = 2 + cos θ （0 ≤ θ < 2π）的草图，并计算曲线所围成的总面积。（10 分）
Solution: This is a limaçon without an inner loop because 2 > 1. The maximum r is 3 at θ = 0, minimum r is 1 at θ = π. The curve is symmetric about the initial line (θ = 0). The area enclosed is given by A = (1/2) ∫₀²π r² dθ. Compute r² = (2 + cos θ)² = 4 + 4 cos θ + cos²θ. Use cos²θ = (1 + cos 2θ)/2. So r² = 4 + 4 cos θ + 1/2 + (1/2) cos 2θ = 9/2 + 4 cos θ + (1/2) cos 2θ. Integrate from 0 to 2π: A = (1/2) ∫₀²π [9/2 + 4 cos θ + (1/2) cos 2θ] dθ. The integrals of cos θ and cos 2θ over a full period are zero. Therefore, A = (1/2) × [ (9/2)θ ]₀²π = (1/2) × (9/2 × 2π) = (1/2) × 9π = (9π)/2.
解答：这是一个没有内环的蜗线，因为 2 > 1。最大 r 值为 3（θ = 0 时），最小 r 为 1（θ = π 时）。曲线关于极轴 (θ = 0) 对称。围成的面积公式为 A = (1/2) ∫₀²π r² dθ。计算 r² = (2 + cos θ)² = 4 + 4 cos θ + cos²θ。利用 cos²θ = (1 + cos 2θ)/2，得 r² = 4 + 4 cos θ + 1/2 + (1/2) cos 2θ = 9/2 + 4 cos θ + (1/2) cos 2θ。从 0 到 2π 积分：A = (1/2) ∫₀²π [9/2 + 4 cos θ + (1/2) cos 2θ] dθ。cos θ 和 cos 2θ 在完整周期上的积分为零。因此 A = (1/2) × [ (9/2)θ ]₀²π = (1/2) × (9/2 × 2π) = (1/2) × 9π = (9π)/2。
When sketching, plot key points and indicate the direction of increasing θ. Use symmetry to halve the integration limits when possible, but here it is simpler to integrate over the full range.
在画草图时，应标出关键点并指出 θ 增大的方向。虽然可用对称性将积分区间减半，但此处使用整个周期积分更为简便。
7. Summation of Series Using the Method of Differences | 级数求和与差分法
Question: Use the method of differences to find Σ (from r=1 to n) 1/(r(r+2)), and state the sum to infinity. (6 marks)
问题：使用差分法求 Σ (r=1 到 n) 1/(r(r+2))，并写出无穷级数的和。（6 分）
Solution: Express the term in partial fractions: 1/(r(r+2)) = A/r + B/(r+2). Solving gives A = 1/2, B = -1/2, so 1/(r(r+2)) = 1/2 [1/r – 1/(r+2)]. Write out the first few terms for r = 1, 2, 3, … n-2, n-1, n. Many terms cancel. The sum Sₙ = 1/2 [ (1/1 – 1/3) + (1/2 – 1/4) + (1/3 – 1/5) + … + (1/(n-1) – 1/(n+1)) + (1/n – 1/(n+2)) ]. After cancellation, we are left with Sₙ = 1/2 [ 1 + 1/2 – 1/(n+1) – 1/(n+2) ] = 1/2 [ 3/2 – (2n+3)/((n+1)(n+2)) ] = 3/4 – (2n+3)/[2(n+1)(n+2)]. As n → ∞, the fractional part tends to 0, so the infinite sum is 3/4.
解答：将项写成部分分式：1/(r(r+2)) = A/r + B/(r+2)。解得 A = 1/2，B = -1/2，故 1/(r(r+2)) = 1/2 [1/r – 1/(r+2)]。写出 r = 1, 2, 3, …, n-2, n-1, n 的前几项，大量项会相消。和 Sₙ = 1/2 [ (1/1 – 1/3) + (1/2 – 1/4) + (1/3 – 1/5) + … + (1/(n-1) – 1/(n+1)) + (1/n – 1/(n+2)) ]。消去后剩下 Sₙ = 1/2 [ 1 + 1/2 – 1/(n+1) – 1/(n+2) ] = 1/2 [ 3/2 – (2n+3)/((n+1)(n+2)) ] = 3/4 – (2n+3)/[2(n+1)(n+2)]。当 n → ∞ 时，分数部分趋于 0，无穷级数和为 3/4。
The method of differences is a powerful technique; always check you have correctly identified the terms that do not cancel at the beginning and end.
差分法是一种强有力的技巧；解题时务必确认首位和末尾处没有相消的项，防止遗漏。
8. First Order Differential Equations | 一阶微分方程
Question: Find the particular solution of dy/dx + 2y = 4e⁻ˣ that satisfies y = 1 when x = 0. (6 marks)
问题：求微分方程 dy/dx + 2y = 4e⁻ˣ 满足 x = 0 时 y = 1 的特解。（6 分）
Solution: This is a linear first order ODE. The integrating factor is μ(x) = e^(∫ 2 dx) = e²ˣ. Multiply the equation by e²ˣ: e²ˣ dy/dx + 2e²ˣ y = 4e²ˣ e⁻ˣ = 4eˣ. The left side is d/dx (y e²ˣ). So d/dx (y e²ˣ) = 4eˣ. Integrate both sides with respect to x: y e²ˣ = 4eˣ + C. Divide by e²ˣ: y = 4e⁻ˣ + C e⁻²ˣ. Apply the initial condition x = 0, y = 1: 1 = 4e⁰ + C e⁰ → 1 = 4 + C → C = -3. Therefore the particular solution is y = 4e⁻ˣ – 3e⁻²ˣ.
解答：这是一阶线性常微分方程。积分因子为 μ(x) = e^(∫ 2 dx) = e²ˣ。将原方程乘以 e²ˣ：e²ˣ dy/dx + 2e²ˣ y = 4e²ˣ e⁻ˣ = 4eˣ。左边恰为 d/dx (y e²ˣ)。于是 d/dx (y e²ˣ) = 4eˣ。两边对 x 积分：y e²ˣ = 4eˣ + C。除以 e²ˣ 得 y = 4e⁻ˣ + C e⁻²ˣ。代入初始条件 x = 0, y = 1：1 = 4e⁰ + C e⁰ → 1 = 4 + C → C = -3。因此特解为 y = 4e⁻ˣ – 3e⁻²ˣ。
Always verify your integrating factor and check the particular constant with the initial value; a quick mental substitution of the final answer can avoid careless errors.
务必验证积分因子的正确性，并利用初始条件核对常数；只需将最终答案代入原方程心算，即可避免粗心错误。
9. Second Order Linear Differential Equations | 二阶线性微分方程
Question: Solve d²y/dx² – 3 dy/dx + 2y = eˣ, given that y = 2 and dy/dx = 1 at x = 0. (9 marks)
问题：解微分方程 d²y/dx² – 3 dy/dx + 2y = eˣ，已知 x = 0 时 y = 2，dy/dx = 1。（9 分）
Solution: First solve the homogeneous equation: auxiliary equation m² – 3m + 2 = 0 → (m-1)(m-2)=0, giving m = 1, 2. Thus complementary function y_c = A eˣ + B e²ˣ. The right-hand side eˣ is part of the complementary function, so the particular integral must be of the form y_p = C x eˣ. Substitute into the ODE: let y = C x eˣ. Then y’ = C eˣ + C x eˣ, y” = 2C eˣ + C x eˣ. Plug into left side: (2C eˣ + C x eˣ) -3(C eˣ + C x eˣ) + 2(C x eˣ) = (2C – 3C) eˣ + (C – 3C + 2C) x eˣ = -C eˣ. Set equal to eˣ, so -C = 1 → C = -1. Hence y_p = -x eˣ. General solution: y = A eˣ + B e²ˣ – x eˣ. Use initial conditions: at x=0, y = A + B = 2; y’ = A eˣ + 2B e²ˣ – eˣ – x eˣ, at x=0 gives y'(0) = A + 2B – 1 = 1 → A + 2B = 2. Solve the system: A+B=2, A+2B=2 → subtracting gives B=0, then A=2. Particular solution: y = 2eˣ – x eˣ.
解答：先解齐次方程：辅助方程 m² – 3m + 2 = 0 → (m-1)(m-2)=0，得 m = 1, 2。因此余函数为 y_c = A eˣ + B e²ˣ。右端项 eˣ 是余函数的一部分，所以特解应设为 y_p = C x eˣ 的形式。代入原方程：设 y = C x eˣ，则 y’ = C eˣ + C x eˣ，y” = 2C eˣ + C x eˣ。代入左边：(2C eˣ + C x eˣ) -3(C eˣ + C x eˣ) + 2(C x eˣ) = (2C – 3C) eˣ + (C – 3C + 2C) x eˣ = -C eˣ。令其等于 eˣ，故 -C = 1 → C = -1。因此 y_p = -x eˣ。通解为 y = A eˣ + B e²ˣ – x eˣ。代入初始条件：x=0 时，y = A + B = 2；y’ = A eˣ + 2B e²ˣ –
