Part I: Multiple Choice
Part I: Multiple Choice: Questions 1-10, 5 points each, 50 points in total. Of the four options given in each of the following questions, only one best fits the requirement of the question.
1. Given the functions f(x)=∫0xecostdt,g(x)=∫0sinxet2dt, then
(A) f(x) is an odd function and g(x) is an even function
(B) f(x) is an even function and g(x) is an odd function
(C) f(x) and g(x) are both odd functions
(D) f(x) and g(x) are both periodic functions
parity of a functionintegral functioncomposite function
Approach:
Analyse the parity of the functions and use the properties of integral functions.
Steps:
Since ecost is an even function of t, ∫0xecostdt is an odd function of x, that is f(x) is odd. Put F(u)=∫0uet2dt; since et2 is an even function, F(u) is odd; and sinx is odd, so g(x)=F(sinx) is odd as well. Hence (C) is the correct choice.
Answer:
C
2. Let P=P(x,y,z),Q=Q(x,y,z) both be continuous functions, and let Σ be the upper side of the surface z=1−x2−y2(x≤0,y≥0). Then
4. Let the function f(x) be defined on the interval (−1,1), and let x→0limf(x)=0. Then
(A) When x→0limxf(x)=m, we have f′(0)=m
(B) When f′(0)=m, we have x→0limxf(x)=m
(C) When x→0limf′(x)=m, we have f′(0)=m
(D) When f′(0)=m, we have x→0limf′(x)=m
function limitderivativecounterexample construction
Approach:
Judge the correctness of each option by constructing counterexamples and by using the definition of the derivative.
Steps:
For option (A), take f(x)={mx,1,x=0x=0; then x→0limxf(x)=m, but f(x) is not differentiable at x=0, so (A) is excluded.
For option (B), since f′(0)=m, the function f(x) is continuous at x=0, so f(0)=x→0limf(x)=0, and hence x→0limxf(x)=x→0limxf(x)−f(0)=f′(0)=m, so (B) is correct.
For option (C), take f(x)={mx,1,x=0x=0; then x→0limf′(x)=m, but f(x) is not differentiable at x=0, so (C) is excluded.
For option (D), take f(x)=⎩⎨⎧mx+x2sinx1,0,x=0x=0; then f′(0)=m, but x→0limf′(x) does not exist, so (D) is excluded. Hence (B) is the correct choice.
Answer:
B
5. In the rectangular coordinate system O−xyz in space, the relative position of the three planes πi:aix+biy+ciz=di(i=1,2,3) is as shown in the figure included with the original paper (the original paper carries a diagram of the three planes; it is omitted in this transcription, so read the question against the original paper). Denote
has infinitely many solutions, so rα1α2α3=rβ1β2β3<3, that is m=n<3. Moreover, the normal vectors of the three planes are coplanar, but those of π1 and π2 are not collinear, so r=2 follows, hence m=n=2, and (B) is the correct choice.
Answer:
B
6. Let the vectors α1=a1−11,α2=1ba1,α3=1a−11. If α1,α2,α3 are linearly dependent, and any two of them are linearly independent, then ( )
A. a=1,b=−1
B. a=1,b=−1
C. a=−2,b=2
D. a=−2,b=2
linear dependence of vectorsdeterminantmatrix rank
Approach:
Use the condition of linear dependence of vectors and solve for the parameters by means of determinants.
Steps:
Since α1,α2,α3 are linearly dependent, r(α1,α2,α3)<3, so
a1111a1a1=0,
which gives a=1 or a=−2. When a=1, α1,α3 are linearly dependent, contradicting the statement, so a=−2.
Also, from
a1−111b1a−1=−21−111b1−2−1=0,
we get b=2, so D is the correct choice.
Answer:
D
7. Let A be a matrix of order 3 with rank 2, and let α be a nonzero vector satisfying Aα=0. If βTα=0 holds for every 3-dimensional column vector β, then Aβ=β holds for all of them, so ( )
A. The trace of A3 is 2
B. The trace of A3 is 5
C. The trace of A2 is 8
D. The trace of A2 is 9
eigenvalue of a matrixtrace of a matrixlinear algebra
Approach:
Analyse the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix and compute the trace of a power of the matrix.
Steps:
From Aα=0 and α=0 we get λ1=0. Take nonzero vectors β1,β2 that are linearly independent (the plane perpendicular to α certainly contains two linearly independent vectors) and satisfy β1Tα=β2Tα=0; then Aβ1=β1,Aβ2=β2, and since β1,β2 are linearly independent, λ=1 is at least a double root, so λ1=0,λ2=λ3=1. Hence the eigenvalues of A3 are 0,1,1, so tr(A3)=0+1+1=2, and A is the correct choice.
Answer:
A
8. Let the random variables X,Y be mutually independent, with X following the normal distribution N(0,2) and Y following the normal distribution N(−2,2). If P{2X+Y<a}=P{X>Y}, then a=( )
A. −2−10
B. −2+10
C. −2−6
D. −2+6
normal distributionprobability calculationrandom variable
Approach:
Solve the problem using the properties of the normal distribution and the probability computation formula.
Steps:
2X+Y∼N(−2,10), Y−X∼N(−2,22),
so P{2X+Y<a}=Φ(10a+2)=P{Y−X<0}=Φ(20+2).
Hence 10a+2=1⇒a=−2+10.
So B is the correct choice.
Answer:
B
9. Let the probability density of the random variable X be f(x)={2(1−x),0,0<x<1other. Under the condition X=x(0<x<1), the random variable Y follows the uniform distribution on the interval (x,1). Then Cov(X,Y)=( )
A. −361
B. −721
C. 721
D. 361
conditional probability densitycovarianceintegral calculation
Approach:
Compute the covariance by means of the conditional probability density and the joint probability density.
Steps:
When 0<x<1, fY∣X(y∣x)=⎩⎨⎧1−x1,0,x<y<1other
f(x,y)={2,0,x<y<1,0<x<1other
EXY=∬xyf(x,y)dxdy=∫01dy∫0y2xydx=41
EX=∫01x2(1−x)dx=31
EY=∬yf(x,y)dxdy=∫01dy∫0y2ydx=32
Cov(X,Y)=EXY−EXEY=361, so D is the correct choice.
Answer:
D
10. Let the random variables X,Y be mutually independent, and let both follow an exponential distribution with parameter λ. Put Z=∣X−Y∣. Then the random variable that has the same distribution as Z is ( )
Compute the distribution function of the random variable Z and judge the type of its distribution.
Steps:
The joint probability density of the random variables X and Y is f(x,y)={λ2e−λ(x+y),0,x>0,y>0other. The distribution function of the random variable Z is FZ(Z)=P(Z≤z)=P(∣X−Y∣≤z),
14. The solution of the differential equation y′=(x+y)21 satisfying y(1)=0 is____.
differential equationsubstitutionseparation of variables
Answer:
x=tan(y+4π)−y
Approach:
Turn the differential equation into a separable one by a substitution.
Steps:
Put u=x+y, then dxdu=1+y′, and substituting into the equation gives,
dxdu=1+u21,⇒u2du=dx
After separating the variables, u2du=dx, and integrating both sides gives u−arctanu=x+C, so the general solution of the equation is y−arctan(x+y)=C. Substituting the initial condition y(1)=0 gives C=4π, so the particular solution required is y−arctan(x+y)=4π, that is x=tan(y+4π)−y.
15. Given the matrix A=(a+1aaa), for arbitrary α=(x1x2),β=(y1y2) we always have (αTAβαT−αβTAβ)2≤αTAα⋅βTAβ, then the range of a is____.
matrix inequalityquadratic formrange of the parameter
Answer:
a≥0
Approach:
Analyse the matrix inequality and determine the range of the parameter.
If αTA(βαT−αβT)Aβ≤0 always holds, that is if −a(x1y2−x2y1)2≤0 always holds, then a≥0.
16. Let the probability of success of the event A each time be p. In three independent repeated trials, under the condition that the event A succeeds at least once, the probability that all three trials succeed is 134. Then p=____.
Solve for the probability parameter by means of the conditional probability formula.
Steps:
Let the event A denote that the three experiments succeed at least once and the event B denote that all three experiments succeed; then
P(A)=1−P(A)=1−(1−p)3,P(B)=p3,P(B∣A)=134
By the conditional probability formula,
P(B∣A)=P(A)P(AB)=P(A)P(B)=1−(1−p)3p3=134
Solving gives p=32.

Let D={(x,y)∣1−y2≤x≤1,−1≤y≤1}. Find ∬Dx2+y2xdxdy.
double integralpolar coordinatesregion of integration
Answer:
2+ln(1+2)−2
Approach:
Use the symmetry of the region of integration and decompose the region of integration into simple subregions.
Steps:
Clearly the region of integration D is symmetric about the x-axis, so denote the part of D above the x-axis by D1; then
∬Dx2+y2xdxdy=2∬D1x2+y2xdxdy
Denote D2={(x,y)∣0≤x≤1,0≤y≤1},D3={(x,y)∣x2+y2≤1,x≥0,y≥0}; then
Let f(x,y)=x3+y3−(x+y)3+3. Given that the equation of the tangent plane to z=f(x,y) at (1,1,1) is T, and that T together with the coordinate planes encloses a bounded region whose projection on the xoy plane is D.
(1) Find the equation of T;
(2) Find the maximum and the minimum of f(x,y) on D.
tangent planeextremum of a multivariable functionpartial derivative
Answer:
(1) x+y+z=3
(2) the maximum value is 21, and the minimum value is 2717
Approach:
(1) Use the partial derivatives to find the equation of the tangent plane.
(2) Use the Lagrange multiplier method to find the extrema of a multivariable function.
Steps:
(1) From ∂x∂z∣(1,1,1)=[3x2−2(x+y)]∣(1,1,1)=1, ∂y∂z∣(1,1,1)=[3y2−2(x+y)]∣(1,1,1)=−1, the normal vector to the tangent plane z=z(x,y) at (1,1,1) is (−1,−1,−1), so the equation of the tangent plane T is
−(x−1)−(y−1)−(z−1)=0,i.e.x+y+z=3
(2) From the statement, D={(x,y)∣x≥0,y≥0,x+y≤3}. In the interior of the region D, from
{∂x∂z=3x2−2(x+y)=0,∂y∂z=3y2−2(x+y)=0
the stationary points are (0,0),(34,34), and it is easy to obtain f(0,0)=3,f(34,34)=2717. In the region D, on the boundary y=0,0≤x≤3, we have f(x,0)=x3−x2+3, and from dxdf(x,0)=3x2−2x=0 the stationary points are x=0 and x=32, at which f(0,0)=3,f(32,0)=2777. Similarly, in the region D, the stationary points on the boundary x=0,0≤y≤3 are y=0,32, and f(0,0)=3,f(0,32)=2777. In the region D, on the boundary x+y=3,0≤x≤3, we have f(x,3−x)=x3+(3−x)3−6x+3; put φ(x)=x3+(3−x)3−6x+3, then φ′(x)=3x2−3(3−x)2−6=0 gives the stationary point x=23, so the stationary point of the function f(x,y) on x+y=3 is (23,23), at which f(23,23)=−43. Moreover f(3,0)=f(0,3)=21, and comparison shows that f(x,y) attains its maximum at the point (3,0) or (0,3), the maximum value being 21, and attains its minimum at the point (34,34), the minimum value being 2717.

Let the function f(x) have a second derivative, and let f′(0)=f′(1),∣f′′(x)∣≤1. Prove:
(1) When x∈(0,1), ∣f(x)−f(0)(1−x)−f(1)x∣≤2x(1−x);
(2) ∫01f(x)dx−2f(0)+f(1)≤121.

Approach:
Prove the inequalities by means of the Taylor formula and the properties of integrals.
Steps:
(1) Expanding the function f(x) by the Taylor formula at x=0 and at x=1 gives,
(1) When x∈(0,1), ∣f(x)−f(0)(1−x)−f(1)x∣≤2x(1−x);
(2) ∫01f(x)dx−2f(0)+f(1)≤121.

Let the oriented curve L be the intersection of the sphere x2+y2+z2=2x and the plane 2x−z−1=0, which runs counterclockwise when looked from the positive z-axis towards the negative z-axis. Find
∮L(6xyz−yz2)dx+2x2dy+xyzdz.
Stokes' formulasurface integralline integral
Answer:
254π5π
Approach:
Use Stokes’ formula to turn the line integral into a surface integral.
Steps:
Let the part of the plane 2x−z−1=0 cut off by the sphere x2+y2+z2=2x be the surface Σ, with the direction taken to be the upper side; then the unit normal vector of the surface Σ is 51(−2,0,1).
Since the equation of the projection curve of the surface Σ on the xOy plane is 5z−6x+y2=−1, the projection region is (2/5x−3/5)2+4/5y2≤1. The area of this projection region is S=π×52×52=554π, so ∬ΣdS=cosγS, and therefore
∮L(6xyz−yz2)dx+2x2dy+xyzdz=51×5/54π=254π5π

Let the population X follow the uniform distribution on [0,θ], where θ∈(0,+∞) is an unknown parameter. X1,X2,⋯,Xn is a simple random sample from the population X, and denote

Answer:
(1) c=nn+1
(2) c=n+1n+2
Approach:
(1) Use the distribution of the largest order statistic to obtain an unbiased estimator.
(2) Find the optimal estimator by minimising the mean square error.
Steps:
(1) The probability density of the random variable X is f(x)={θ1,0,0<x<θother, so the distribution function of the random variable X is
F(x)=⎩⎨⎧0,θx,1,x<00≤x<θx≥θ
and then the distribution function of the random variable X(n) is
