导语在必修第一册中,我们研究了函数的单调性,并利用函数单调性等知识,定性的研究了一次函数、指数函数、对数函数增长速度的差异,知道“对数增长” 是越来越慢的,“指数爆炸” 比“直线上升” 快得多,进一步的能否精确定量的刻画变化速度的快慢呢,下面我们就来研究这个问题。新知探究问题1 高台跳水运动员的速度高台跳水运动中,运动员在运动过程中的重心相对于水面的高度h(单位:m)与起跳后的时间t(单位:s)存在函数关系h(t)=-4.9t2+4.8t+11.如何描述用运动员从起跳到入水的过程中运动的快慢程度呢?直觉告诉我们,运动员从起跳到入水的过程中,在上升阶段运动的越来越慢,在下降阶段运动的越来越快,我们可以把整个运动时间段分成许多小段,用运动员在每段时间内的平均速度v ?近似的描述它的运动状态。
(1)几何法它是利用图形的几何性质,如圆的性质等,直接求出圆的圆心和半径,代入圆的标准方程,从而得到圆的标准方程.(2)待定系数法由三个独立条件得到三个方程,解方程组以得到圆的标准方程中三个参数,从而确定圆的标准方程.它是求圆的方程最常用的方法,一般步骤是:①设——设所求圆的方程为(x-a)2+(y-b)2=r2;②列——由已知条件,建立关于a,b,r的方程组;③解——解方程组,求出a,b,r;④代——将a,b,r代入所设方程,得所求圆的方程.跟踪训练1.已知△ABC的三个顶点坐标分别为A(0,5),B(1,-2),C(-3,-4),求该三角形的外接圆的方程.[解] 法一:设所求圆的标准方程为(x-a)2+(y-b)2=r2.因为A(0,5),B(1,-2),C(-3,-4)都在圆上,所以它们的坐标都满足圆的标准方程,于是有?0-a?2+?5-b?2=r2,?1-a?2+?-2-b?2=r2,?-3-a?2+?-4-b?2=r2.解得a=-3,b=1,r=5.故所求圆的标准方程是(x+3)2+(y-1)2=25.
新知探究国际象棋起源于古代印度.相传国王要奖赏国际象棋的发明者,问他想要什么.发明者说:“请在棋盘的第1个格子里放上1颗麦粒,第2个格子里放上2颗麦粒,第3个格子里放上4颗麦粒,依次类推,每个格子里放的麦粒都是前一个格子里放的麦粒数的2倍,直到第64个格子.请给我足够的麦粒以实现上述要求.”国王觉得这个要求不高,就欣然同意了.假定千粒麦粒的质量为40克,据查,2016--2017年度世界年度小麦产量约为7.5亿吨,根据以上数据,判断国王是否能实现他的诺言.问题1:每个格子里放的麦粒数可以构成一个数列,请判断分析这个数列是否是等比数列?并写出这个等比数列的通项公式.是等比数列,首项是1,公比是2,共64项. 通项公式为〖a_n=2〗^(n-1)问题2:请将发明者的要求表述成数学问题.
二、典例解析例3.某公司购置了一台价值为220万元的设备,随着设备在使用过程中老化,其价值会逐年减少.经验表明,每经过一年其价值会减少d(d为正常数)万元.已知这台设备的使用年限为10年,超过10年 ,它的价值将低于购进价值的5%,设备将报废.请确定d的范围.分析:该设备使用n年后的价值构成数列{an},由题意可知,an=an-1-d (n≥2). 即:an-an-1=-d.所以{an}为公差为-d的等差数列.10年之内(含10年),该设备的价值不小于(220×5%=)11万元;10年后,该设备的价值需小于11万元.利用{an}的通项公式列不等式求解.解:设使用n年后,这台设备的价值为an万元,则可得数列{an}.由已知条件,得an=an-1-d(n≥2).所以数列{an}是一个公差为-d的等差数列.因为a1=220-d,所以an=220-d+(n-1)(-d)=220-nd. 由题意,得a10≥11,a11<11. 即:{█("220-10d≥11" @"220-11d<11" )┤解得19<d≤20.9所以,d的求值范围为19<d≤20.9
情境导学前面我们已讨论了圆的标准方程为(x-a)2+(y-b)2=r2,现将其展开可得:x2+y2-2ax-2bx+a2+b2-r2=0.可见,任何一个圆的方程都可以变形x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0的形式.请大家思考一下,形如x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0的方程表示的曲线是不是圆?下面我们来探讨这一方面的问题.探究新知例如,对于方程x^2+y^2-2x-4y+6=0,对其进行配方,得〖(x-1)〗^2+(〖y-2)〗^2=-1,因为任意一点的坐标 (x,y) 都不满足这个方程,所以这个方程不表示任何图形,所以形如x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0的方程不一定能通过恒等变换为圆的标准方程,这表明形如x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0的方程不一定是圆的方程.一、圆的一般方程(1)当D2+E2-4F>0时,方程x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0表示以(-D/2,-E/2)为圆心,1/2 √(D^2+E^2 "-" 4F)为半径的圆,将方程x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0,配方可得〖(x+D/2)〗^2+(〖y+E/2)〗^2=(D^2+E^2-4F)/4(2)当D2+E2-4F=0时,方程x2+y2+Dx+Ey+F=0,表示一个点(-D/2,-E/2)(3)当D2+E2-4F0);
切线方程的求法1.求过圆上一点P(x0,y0)的圆的切线方程:先求切点与圆心连线的斜率k,则由垂直关系,切线斜率为-1/k,由点斜式方程可求得切线方程.若k=0或斜率不存在,则由图形可直接得切线方程为y=b或x=a.2.求过圆外一点P(x0,y0)的圆的切线时,常用几何方法求解设切线方程为y-y0=k(x-x0),即kx-y-kx0+y0=0,由圆心到直线的距离等于半径,可求得k,进而切线方程即可求出.但要注意,此时的切线有两条,若求出的k值只有一个时,则另一条切线的斜率一定不存在,可通过数形结合求出.例3 求直线l:3x+y-6=0被圆C:x2+y2-2y-4=0截得的弦长.思路分析:解法一求出直线与圆的交点坐标,解法二利用弦长公式,解法三利用几何法作出直角三角形,三种解法都可求得弦长.解法一由{■(3x+y"-" 6=0"," @x^2+y^2 "-" 2y"-" 4=0"," )┤得交点A(1,3),B(2,0),故弦AB的长为|AB|=√("(" 2"-" 1")" ^2+"(" 0"-" 3")" ^2 )=√10.解法二由{■(3x+y"-" 6=0"," @x^2+y^2 "-" 2y"-" 4=0"," )┤消去y,得x2-3x+2=0.设两交点A,B的坐标分别为A(x1,y1),B(x2,y2),则由根与系数的关系,得x1+x2=3,x1·x2=2.∴|AB|=√("(" x_2 "-" x_1 ")" ^2+"(" y_2 "-" y_1 ")" ^2 )=√(10"[(" x_1+x_2 ")" ^2 "-" 4x_1 x_2 "]" ┴" " )=√(10×"(" 3^2 "-" 4×2")" )=√10,即弦AB的长为√10.解法三圆C:x2+y2-2y-4=0可化为x2+(y-1)2=5,其圆心坐标(0,1),半径r=√5,点(0,1)到直线l的距离为d=("|" 3×0+1"-" 6"|" )/√(3^2+1^2 )=√10/2,所以半弦长为("|" AB"|" )/2=√(r^2 "-" d^2 )=√("(" √5 ")" ^2 "-" (√10/2) ^2 )=√10/2,所以弦长|AB|=√10.

The theme of this section is “Talk about festival activities and festival experiences”.Festival and holiday is a relaxing and interesting topic for students. This part talks about the topic from the daily life of students’. In the part A ---Listening and Speaking, there are three conversations among different speakers from three countries(Japan, Rio and China), where the speakers are participating in or going to participate in the festivals and celebrations. So listening for the relationship among them is a fundamental task. Actually, with the globalization and more international communication, it is normal for Chinese or foreigners to witness different festivals and celebrations in or out of China. In the Conversation 1, a foreign reporter is interviewing a Japanese young girl who just had participated in the ceremony of the Coming-of-Age Day on the street and asking her feeling about the ceremony and the afterwards activities. Conversation 2, Chinese girl Li Mei is witnessing the Rio Carnival for the first time, and her friend Carla gives her some advice on the costumes which enables her to match with the carnival to have a good time. Conversation 3, a Chinese guide is showing a group of foreign visitors around the Lantern Festival and introducing the customs of the festival to them. The three conversations have a strong vitality and insert the festival and cultural elements from different countries. So perceiving the festivals and cultures from different countries is the second task. At the same time, the scripts also insert the targeted grammar --- v-ing as attributive and predicative, which students can perceive and experience in a real context and make a road for the further study. That is the third task. In the Part B--- Listening and Talking, the theme is “Talk about festival experience”, which is the common topic in our daily conversations. During the conversation, Song Lin, a Chinese student, asked Canadian friend Max about how to spend Christmas. In the conversation, Song Lin talked about experience and the feelings during the Chinese Spring Festival, during which there are not only some enjoyable things but some unpleasant things. After the listening, perhaps students find there are some similarities between Christmas and the Chinese Spring Festival as there are some differences in the origins and celebrations. For example, people always visit friends and relatives, decorate their houses, have a big dinner together, chat and give presents to each other.

1. 这个寓言是一个关于一位国王古寓言。 The fable is an old fable about a king.2.作者用这个故事让读者对于社区的问题负有个人责任的必要印象深刻。The author used the story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community.3. 这个故事十分成功的实现了它的目的。The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose.Step 7 WritingPlease write a review of the story according the outline above.The fable is an old fable about a king who thought his people are lazy, so he put a large stone in the middle of the road and hides and waited to see if anyone will try to move it.The author used this story to impress upon readers with the need to take personal responsibility for problems in the community. The story was quite successful in achieving its purpose, and I liked it because it had a clear moral.However, while the moral of the story is clear, the actions of the king seemed pointless to me, because none of the characters in the story learnt anything. For this reason, I think there are better stories that can be used to impress upon people with the need for personal responsibility.Step 8 Pair workExchange drafts with a partner. Use this checklist to help your partner revise his/her draft.1. Does the writer give a short description of the story ?2. Does the description include the most important details of the story ?3.

Learn to introduce your own town according to the text.Step 1 Lead in ---Small talkIn the reading part, we mentioned the Chinatown of San Francisco. How much do you know about Chinatown of San Francisco ?Chinatown is a main living place for Chinese immigrants, where you can see many Chinese-style buildings, costumes, operas, restaurants, music and even hear Chinese.Step 2 Before reading ---Predict the contentWhat is the writer’s purpose of writing this text ? How do you know ?From the title(Welcome to Chinatown) and some key words from the text(tourist, visit, visitors, experience), we can know the purpose of the text is to introduce Chinatown and show the relationship between Chinese culture and American culture.
1. In Picture 1 and Picture 2, where do you think they are from? How do you know?From their wearings, we can know they are from ethnic minority of China--- Miao and Dong.Picture 1, they are playing their traditional instrument lusheng in their traditional costumes.Picture 2. the girls are Miao because they wear their traditional costumes and silver accessory.2. In Picture 3, can you find which village it is? What time is it in the picture?It is Dong village. It is at night. Step 2 While-listeningJustin met a new friend while traveling in Guizhou. Listen to their conversation and complete the summaries below.Part 1Justin and Wu Yue watched some Miao people play the lusheng. The instrument has a history of over 3,000 years and it is even mentioned in the oldest collection of Chinese poetry. Then they watched the lusheng dance. Justin wanted to buy some hand-made silver/traditional accessories as souvenirs. He was told that the price will depend on the percentage of silver. Part 2They will go to a pretty Dong minority village called Zhaoxing. they will see the drum towers and the wind and rain bridges. They may also see a performance of the Grand Song of the Dong people.Step 3 Post-listening---TalkingWork in groups. Imagine Justin is telling some friends about his trip to Guizhou. One of you is Justin and the rest of you are his friends. Ask Justin questions about his trip and experience. The following expressions may help you.
Discuss these questions in groups.Q1: Have you ever been to a place that has a diverse culture ? What do you think about the culture diversity ?One culturally diverse place that I have been to is Harbin, the capital city of Heilongjiang Province.
