空间向量基本定理教学设计人教A版高中数学选择性必修第一册
反思感悟用基底表示空间向量的解题策略1.空间中,任一向量都可以用一个基底表示,且只要基底确定,则表示形式是唯一的.2.用基底表示空间向量时,一般要结合图形,运用向量加法、减法的平行四边形法则、三角形法则,以及数乘向量的运算法则,逐步向基向量过渡,直至全部用基向量表示.3.在空间几何体中选择基底时,通常选取公共起点最集中的向量或关系最明确的向量作为基底,例如,在正方体、长方体、平行六面体、四面体中,一般选用从同一顶点出发的三条棱所对应的向量作为基底.例2.在棱长为2的正方体ABCD-A1B1C1D1中,E,F分别是DD1,BD的中点,点G在棱CD上,且CG=1/3 CD(1)证明:EF⊥B1C;(2)求EF与C1G所成角的余弦值.思路分析选择一个空间基底,将(EF) ?,(B_1 C) ?,(C_1 G) ?用基向量表示.(1)证明(EF) ?·(B_1 C) ?=0即可;(2)求(EF) ?与(C_1 G) ?夹角的余弦值即可.(1)证明:设(DA) ?=i,(DC) ?=j,(DD_1 ) ?=k,则{i,j,k}构成空间的一个正交基底.

4.已知△ABC三个顶点坐标A(－1,3)，B(－3,0)，C(1,2)，求△ABC的面积S.【解析】由直线方程的两点式得直线BC的方程为 ＝ ，即x－2y＋3＝0，由两点间距离公式得|BC|＝ ，点A到BC的距离为d，即为BC边上的高，d＝ ，所以S＝ |BC|·d＝ ×2 × ＝4，即△ABC的面积为4.5.已知直线l经过点P(0,2),且A(1,1),B(-3,1)两点到直线l的距离相等,求直线l的方程.解:(方法一)∵点A(1,1)与B(-3,1)到y轴的距离不相等,∴直线l的斜率存在,设为k.又直线l在y轴上的截距为2,则直线l的方程为y=kx+2,即kx-y+2=0.由点A(1,1)与B(-3,1)到直线l的距离相等,∴直线l的方程是y=2或x-y+2=0.得("|" k"-" 1+2"|" )/√(k^2+1)=("|-" 3k"-" 1+2"|" )/√(k^2+1),解得k=0或k=1.(方法二)当直线l过线段AB的中点时,A,B两点到直线l的距离相等.∵AB的中点是(-1,1),又直线l过点P(0,2),∴直线l的方程是x-y+2=0.当直线l∥AB时,A,B两点到直线l的距离相等.∵直线AB的斜率为0,∴直线l的斜率为0,∴直线l的方程为y=2.综上所述,满足条件的直线l的方程是x-y+2=0或y=2.
圆的一般方程教学设计人教A版高中数学选择性必修第一册
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);

一、情境导学在一条笔直的公路同侧有两个大型小区,现在计划在公路上某处建一个公交站点C,以方便居住在两个小区住户的出行.如何选址能使站点到两个小区的距离之和最小?二、探究新知问题1.在数轴上已知两点A、B，如何求A、B两点间的距离？提示：|AB|＝|xA－xB|.问题2：在平面直角坐标系中能否利用数轴上两点间的距离求出任意两点间距离？探究.当x1≠x2，y1≠y2时，|P1P2|＝？请简单说明理由．提示：可以，构造直角三角形利用勾股定理求解．答案：如图，在Rt △P1QP2中，|P1P2|2＝|P1Q|2＋|QP2|2，所以|P1P2|＝?x2－x1?2＋?y2－y1?2.即两点P1(x1，y1)，P2(x2，y2)间的距离|P1P2|＝?x2－x1?2＋?y2－y1?2.你还能用其它方法证明这个公式吗？2．两点间距离公式的理解(1)此公式与两点的先后顺序无关，也就是说公式也可写成|P1P2|＝?x2－x1?2＋?y2－y1?2.(2)当直线P1P2平行于x轴时，|P1P2|＝|x2－x1|.当直线P1P2平行于y轴时，|P1P2|＝|y2－y1|.

(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.

If a traffic accident happens and someone is injured, the following steps can be used to treat the injured.In the first place, we should make sure that the accident scene is safe so that we won’t get hurt. We should ask the injured person if he is OK, and see if he is breathing. What’s more, we should check for cuts and wounds. If he is bleeding badly, it is vital that we should try to stop the bleeding by applying pressure to the injury. This is because if a person loses too much blood, he may die. If necessary, take the injured person to the hospital as soon as possible.Do remember: when giving first aid, please be sure to place the person in a recovery position.
