本節(jié)課選自《2019人教A版高中數(shù)學選擇性必修第一冊》第二章《直線和圓的方程》,本節(jié)課主要學習拋物線及其標準方程在經(jīng)歷了橢圓和雙曲線的學習后再學習拋物線,是在學生原有認知的基礎(chǔ)上從幾何與代數(shù)兩 個角度去認識拋物線.教材在拋物線的定義這個內(nèi)容的安排上是:先從直觀上認識拋物線,再從畫法中提煉出拋物線的幾何特征,由此抽象概括出拋物線的定義,最后是拋物線定義的簡單應(yīng)用.這樣的安排不僅體現(xiàn)出《課程標準》中要求通過豐富的實例展開教學的理念,而且符合學生從具體到抽象的認知規(guī)律,有利于學生對概念的學習和理解.坐標法的教學貫穿了整個“圓錐曲線方程”一章,是學生應(yīng)重點掌握的基本數(shù)學方法 運動變化和對立統(tǒng)一的思想觀點在這節(jié)知識中得到了突出體現(xiàn),我們必須充分利用好這部分教材進行教學
∵在△EFP中,|EF|=2c,EF上的高為點P的縱坐標,∴S△EFP=4/3c2=12,∴c=3,即P點坐標為(5,4).由兩點間的距離公式|PE|=√("(" 5+3")" ^2+4^2 )=4√5,|PF|=√("(" 5"-" 3")" ^2+4^2 )=2√5,∴a=√5.又b2=c2-a2=4,故所求雙曲線的方程為x^2/5-y^2/4=1.5.求適合下列條件的雙曲線的標準方程.(1)兩個焦點的坐標分別是(-5,0),(5,0),雙曲線上的點與兩焦點的距離之差的絕對值等于8;(2)以橢圓x^2/8+y^2/5=1長軸的端點為焦點,且經(jīng)過點(3,√10);(3)a=b,經(jīng)過點(3,-1).解:(1)由雙曲線的定義知,2a=8,所以a=4,又知焦點在x軸上,且c=5,所以b2=c2-a2=25-16=9,所以雙曲線的標準方程為x^2/16-y^2/9=1.(2)由題意得,雙曲線的焦點在x軸上,且c=2√2.設(shè)雙曲線的標準方程為x^2/a^2 -y^2/b^2 =1(a>0,b>0),則有a2+b2=c2=8,9/a^2 -10/b^2 =1,解得a2=3,b2=5.故所求雙曲線的標準方程為x^2/3-y^2/5=1.(3)當焦點在x軸上時,可設(shè)雙曲線方程為x2-y2=a2,將點(3,-1)代入,得32-(-1)2=a2,所以a2=b2=8.因此,所求的雙曲線的標準方程為x^2/8-y^2/8=1.當焦點在y軸上時,可設(shè)雙曲線方程為y2-x2=a2,將點(3,-1)代入,得(-1)2-32=a2,a2=-8,不可能,所以焦點不可能在y軸上.綜上,所求雙曲線的標準方程為x^2/8-y^2/8=1.
The grammatical structure of this unit is predicative clause. Like object clause and subject clause, predicative clause is one of Nominal Clauses. The leading words of predicative clauses are that, what, how, what, where, as if, because, etc.The design of teaching activities aims to guide students to perceive the structural features of predicative clauses and think about their ideographic functions. Beyond that, students should be guided to use this grammar in the context apporpriately and flexibly.1. Enable the Ss to master the usage of the predicative clauses in this unit.2. Enable the Ss to use the predicative patterns flexibly.3. Train the Ss to apply some skills by doing the relevant exercises.1.Guide students to perceive the structural features of predicative clauses and think about their ideographic functions.2.Strengthen students' ability of using predicative clauses in context, but also cultivate their ability of text analysis and logical reasoning competence.Step1: Underline all the examples in the reading passage, where noun clauses are used as the predicative. Then state their meaning and functions.1) One theory was that bad air caused the disease.2) Another theory was that cholera was caused by an infection from germs in food or water.3) The truth was that the water from the Broad Street had been infected by waste.Sum up the rules of grammar:1. 以上黑體部分在句中作表語。2. 句1、2、3中的that在從句中不作成分,只起連接作用。 Step2: Review the basic components of predicative clauses1.Definition
