1. Algebraic Modelling in Economics | 经济学中的代数建模
) = 2x² + 50x + 200 (pounds) for x units, and total revenue R(x) = 120x − 0.5x². The break‑ solving C(x) = R(x), which reduces to a quadratic equation: 2x² + 50x + 200 = 120x − 0.5x² ⇒ ding by 5 yields x² − 28x + 80 = 0. Factorising produces (x − 4)(x − 20) = 0, so the break‑even outputs are x = 4 and x = 20.
公司常用多项式函数描述成本、收入和利润。典型模型：生产 x 件产品时，总成本 C(x) = 2x² + 50x + 200（英镑），总收入 R(x) = 120x − 0.5x²。令 C(x) = R(x) 求盈亏平衡点，化简得二次方程：2.5x² − 70x + 200 = 0，乘以 2 得 5x² − 140x + 400 = 0，除以 5 得 x² − 28x + 80 = 0。因式分解为 (x − 4)(x − 20) = 0，故盈亏平衡产量为 x = 4 和 x = 20。
econd derivative d²P/dx² = −5 is negative, confirming a maximum. Hence maximum profit occurs at 14 units, and the corresponding profit is P(14) = 290 pounds. Knowing how to manipulate quadratic models is essential for making production decisions.
为求最大利润，定义 P(x) = R(x) − C(x) = −2.5x² + 70x − 200。求导得 dP/dx = −5x + 70，令其为零得 x = 14。二阶导数 d²P/dx² = −5 为负，确认为最大值。当产量为 14 件时利润最大，对应利润 P(14) = 290 英镑。掌握二次模型的变换是制定生产决策的关键。
2. Sequences and Financial Mathematics | 数列与金融数学
Compound interest and loan repayments are modelled by geometric sequences. If you invest £1000 at an annual interest rate of 4% . To find the number of years needed to double the investment, solve 2000 = 1000 × (1.04)ⁿ ⇒ 2) / log(1.04) ≈ 17.67 years. This illustrates the power of exponential growth in savings.
复利和贷款偿还常通过等比数列建模。若将 1000 英镑以年利率 4% 按年复利投资，n 年后的金额由等比数列第 n 项给出：A(n) = 1000 × (1.04)ⁿ。要求投资翻倍的年数，解 2000 = 1000 × (1.04)ⁿ ⇒ (1.04)ⁿ = 2。取对数得 n = log(2) / log(1.04) ≈ 17.67 年。这体现了储蓄中指数增长的力量。
r a savings plan with regular deposits, an arithmetic sequence can be used. If you deposit £50 at the start of each month and the account earns simple interest of 0.2% commonly we apply the arithmetic sum formula Sₙ = n/2 (a + l). Being able to switch between explicit formulae and recurrence relations is a key skill tested in WJEC Further Maths.
对于定期存款的储蓄计划，可用等差数列。若每月初存入 50 英镑，账户按月单利 0.2% 计息，24 个月后的总额为等差数列之和。首项为 50 + 50×24×0.002，末项为 50 + 50×1×0.002，但更常见的是使用等差数列求和公式 Sₙ = n/2 (a + l)。在 WJEC 进阶数学中，能灵活切换通项公式与递推关系是一项核心技能。
3. Functions and Engineering Optimisation | 函数与工程优化
Engineers often design containers to minimise material usage. Suppose an open‑ x is V(x) = x(20 − 2x)(30 − 2x). Expanding gives V(x) = 4x³ − 100x² + 600x. To maximise volume (valid for 0 < x < 10), differentiate: dV/dx = 12x² − 200x + 600. Set dV/dx = 0 and divide by 4: 3x² − 50x + 150 = 0. Solving the quadratic yields x = (50 ± √2500 − 1800 s too large). The optimal cut is approximately 3.92 cm, and the maximum volume is about 1537 cm³.
工程师设计容器时常需最小化材料用量。从一个 20 cm × 30 cm 的长方形薄板每个角切去边长为 x cm 的正方形，然后折起成无盖盒。体积 V 关于 x 的函数为 V(x) = x(20 − 2x)(30 − 2x)。展开得 V(x) = 4x³ − 100x² + 600x。为求最大体积（定义域 0 < x < 10），求导：dV/dx = 12x² − 200x + 600。令导数为零并除以 4：3x² − 50x + 150 = 0。解二次方程得 x = (50 ± √700) / 6 ≈ (50 ± 26.46) / 6，故 x ≈ 3.92 cm 或 x ≈ 12.74 cm（舍去）。最佳切口约为 3.92 cm，最大体积约 1537 cm³。
This type of problem mirrors real tasks in packaging design and civil engineering, where functions and their derivatives control costs and structural safety. The domain constraint (0,10) also forces you to verify endpoints, reinforcing good modelling practice.
此类问题与包装设计和土木工程中的实际任务相呼应，其中函数及其导数控制成本与结构安全。定义域限制 (0,10) 也要求你验证端点，从而强化了良好的建模实践。
4. Trigonometry in Surveying and Navigation | 三角学在测量与导航中的应用
re 500 m apart on one side of a river. The angles to a landmark C on the opposite bank are ∠CAB = 72° and ∠ This direct application of the sine rule provides the river width after finding perpendicular distance using right‑angle trigonometry.
测量员使用三角测量法确定距离。河的一侧两观测点 A 和 B 相距 500 m，对岸地标 C 的视角为 ∠CAB = 72°，∠CBA = 63°。由正弦定理，AC / sin(63°) = 500 / sin(45°)。故 AC = 500 × sin(63°) / sin(45°) ≈ 500 × 0.8910 / 0.7071 ≈ 630.1 m。在获得 AC 后，可通过直角三角学求出河的宽度。
nts: first leg: (30 cos 55°, 30 sin 55°) ≈ (17.21, 24.57); second leg: (20 cos 140°, 20 sin 140°) ≈ (−15.32, 12.86). Total displacement vector ≈ (1.89, 37.43). The magnitude is √1.89² + 37.43² rth, i.e. 003°. Trigonometry blends angles and distances seamlessly across these contexts.
在导航中，一艘船以 055° 方位行驶 30 km，再以 140° 方位行驶 20 km。合位移为向量之和。分解分量：第一段 (30 cos 55°, 30 sin 55°) ≈ (17.21, 24.57)；第二段 (20 cos 140°, 20 sin 140°) ≈ (−15.32, 12.86)。合位移向量 ≈ (1.89, 37.43)，大小为 √1.89² + 37.43² ≈ 37.48 km，方位角 ≈ arctan(1.89/37.43) ≈ 2.9°，即 003°。三角学在这些场景中将角度与距离无缝结合。
5. Vectors in Physics and Engineering | 向量在物理与工程中的应用
f the particle is in equilibrium, the resultant force is zero. Summing components: (5 − 3 + p)i + (2 + 6 − 4)j = (2 + p)i + 4j = 0. Hence 2 + p = 0 ⇒ librium condition is the foundation for analysing bridges, trusses and mechanical systems.
作用在一点上的力常用向量表示。一质点受三个共面力：F₁ = (5i + 2j) N，F₂ = (−3i + 6j) N，F₃ = (p i − 4j) N。若质点平衡，合力为零。分量求和：(5 − 3 + p)i + (2 + 6 − 4)j = (2 + p)i + 4j = 0。故 2 + p = 0 ⇒ p = −2。因此 F₃ = (−2i − 4j) N。这一简单的向量平衡条件是分析桥梁、桁架和机械系统的基础。
or = 50i (blowing towards east). Air velocity vector = 250 cos 60° i + 250 sin 60° j = 125i + 216.5j. Ground velocity = (125 + 50)i + 216.5j = 175i + 216.5j. Ground speed = √175² + 216.5² k angle = arctan(175/216.5) ≈ 39°. Vectors elegantly handle such relative motion problems.
速度向量同样重要。一架飞机以 250 km/h 的空速沿 030° 航向飞行，遭遇自西而来的 50 km/h 风速。风向量 = 50i（向东吹）。空速向量 = 250 cos 60° i + 250 sin 60° j = 125i + 216.5j。地速向量 = 175i + 216.5j，地速大小 ≈ 278 km/h，航迹角 ≈ 39°。向量能优雅地处理此类相对运动问题。
6. Calculus in Kinematics and Population Dynamics | 微积分在运动学与种群动力学中的应用
A particle' on a = dv/dt = 6t − 18. Setting v = 0 gives times when the particle is instantaneously at rest: 3t² − 18t + 24 = 0 ⇒ t² − 6t + 8 = 0 ⇒ s is 6 m/s². This illustrates how differentiation and factorisation unlock motion details.
质点位移 s（米）由 s(t) = t³ − 9t² + 24t 给出，t ≥ 0 为时间（秒）。速度 v = ds/dt = 3t² − 18t + 24，加速度 a = dv/dt = 6t − 18。令 v = 0 得瞬时静止时刻：3t² −
