Section C Answers

15. [4 marks]
Sub: $x^2 + (mx+1)^2 = 5 \Rightarrow (1+m^2)x^2 + 2mx - 4 = 0$
Tangent ⇒ discriminant 0: $4m^2 + 16(1+m^2)=0 \Rightarrow 20m^2 + 16 = 0$ → error; correct: $(2m)^2 - 4(1+m^2)(-4)=0 \Rightarrow 4m^2 + 16 + 16m^2 = 0 \Rightarrow 20m^2 = -16$ no real? Recheck: original circle r²=5, line y=mx+1 distance from origin = $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+m^2}} = \sqrt{5}$ impossible. Actually tangent condition: $\frac{|1|}{\sqrt{1+m^2}} = \sqrt{5} \Rightarrow 1 = 5(1+m^2)$ no solution. Correct paper value: circle $x^2+y^2=5$, distance must be $\sqrt{5}$; $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+m^2}}=\sqrt{5} \Rightarrow 1=5+5m^2$ no real m. Thus no real tangent of that form. If circle was $x^2+y^2=1$, m=0. For given, answer: no real m.
Marks: 2 method, 2 conclusion.
