1. 在平面直角坐标系 xOy 中,已知抛物线 y=x2−4x+c.
(1)抛物线经过点 (0,y1) 和 (3,y2) ,请比较 y1 和 y2 的大小;
(2)若抛物线与 x 轴的一个交点的坐标为 (1,0).
(1)求抛物线与 x 轴的另一个交点的坐标;
(2)抛物线上两点 A(x0,m),B(x0+3,n) ,满足 m n<0 ,求 x0 的取值范围.
Solution by Steps
step 1
To compare y1 and y2, substitute the given points into the equation y=x2−4x+c
step 2
For point (0,y1), substitute x=0 to get y1=c
step 3
For point (3,y2), substitute x=3 to get y2=32−4⋅3+c=9−12+c=c−3
step 4
Compare y1 and y2 to find y1=c and y2=c−3, so y_1 > y_2 since c - 3 < c
Answer
y_1 > y_2
Key Concept
Substituting coordinates into the equation of a parabola to find specific values
Explanation
By substituting the x-coordinates of the given points into the parabola's equation, we can compare the y-values directly.
Solution by Steps
step 1
Given that the parabola y=x2−4x+c passes through (1,0), substitute x=1 and y=0 to find c
step 2
Substituting gives 0=12−4⋅1+c, which simplifies to c=4−1=3
step 3
Now that we know c, the equation of the parabola is y=x2−4x+3
step 4
To find the other x-intercept, set y=0 and solve 0=x2−4x+3
step 5
Factoring the quadratic gives 0=(x−1)(x−3). Since one root is x=1, the other root is x=3
step 6
The coordinates of the other x-intercept are (3,0)
Answer
The other x-intercept is at (3,0).
Key Concept
Finding x-intercepts of a parabola by setting y=0 and solving the resulting quadratic equation
Explanation
The x-intercepts of a parabola are the points where the graph crosses the x-axis, which occur when y=0.
Solution by Steps
step 1
Given points A(x0,m) and B(x0+3,n) on the parabola y=x2−4x+3 with mn < 0 , we need to find the range of x0
step 2
Since mn < 0 , one of m or n is positive and the other is negative, which means one point is above and the other is below the x-axis
step 3
The parabola opens upwards and its vertex is at x=2, the midpoint between the x-intercepts x=1 and x=3
step 4
For A to be below the x-axis and B above, x0 must be less than the vertex x=2
step 5
For B to be below the x-axis and A above, x0 must be greater than 1 and x0+3 must be less than 3, so x_0 < 0
step 6
Combining the conditions, x0 must be in the range 1 < x_0 < 2
Answer
The range for x0 is 1 < x_0 < 2 .
Key Concept
Determining the range of x-values for points on a parabola where the product of their y-values is negative
Explanation
The product of the y-values of two points on a parabola being negative implies that one point lies above the x-axis and the other below, which restricts the x-values to a certain range.
