O-Level Additional Mathematics Quiz - Graphs Coordinate Geometry (Answers)

Section A

$2x + 3(x-1) = 12 \implies 5x = 15 \implies x=3, y=2$ . Coord: (3, 2) [2m]
$m = (6 - (-3))/(5 - 2) = 9/3 = 3$ . $y - 6 = 3(x - 5) \implies y = 3x - 9$ . $3x - y = 9$ [3m]
$x = \frac{2(-4) + 3(8)}{5} = \frac{16}{5} = 3.2$ ; $y = \frac{2(7) + 3(-1)}{5} = \frac{11}{5} = 2.2$ . Coord: (3.2, 2.2) [3m]
$x^2 - 4x + 7 = kx - 5 \implies x^2 - (4+k)x + 12 = 0$ . For tangency, $b^2 - 4ac = 0$ . $(4+k)^2 - 48 = 0 \implies 4+k = \pm \sqrt{48} \implies k = -4 \pm 4\sqrt{3}$ . $k \approx 2.93, -10.9$ [4m]
$x^2 - x - 3 = 2x + 1 \implies x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0 \implies (x-4)(x+1) = 0$ . $x=4 \implies y=9$ ; $x=-1 \implies y=-1$ . Coords: (4, 9) and (-1, -1) [3m]
$m_1 = 3/4 \implies m_2 = -4/3$ . $y - 2 = -4/3(x - 1) \implies 3y - 6 = -4x + 4$ . $4x + 3y = 10$ [3m]
Area = $0.5 |1(4-8) + 5(8-2) + 3(2-4)| = 0.5 |-4 + 30 - 6| = 0.5 |20| = 10$ . Area = 10 sq units [3m]

Section B

$(x-3)^2 - 9 + (y+4)^2 - 16 = 0 \implies (x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 25$ . Centre: (3, -4), Radius: 5 [3m]
$(x+2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 16 \implies x^2 + 4x + 4 + y^2 - 10y + 25 = 16$ . $x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 10y + 13 = 0$ [3m]
$3^2 + 1^2 + 4(3) - 2(1) - 20 = 9 + 1 + 12 - 2 - 20 = 0$ . LHS = RHS, point lies on circle. [2m]
Midpoint (Centre) = $( (-1+5)/2, (3+7)/2 ) = (2, 5)$ . Radius^2 = $(2 - (-1))^2 + (5 - 3)^2 = 3^2 + 2^2 = 13$ . $(x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 13$ [4m]
$x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25 \implies 2x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0 \implies x^2 + x - 12 = 0 \implies (x+4)(x-3) = 0$ . $x=3 \implies y=4$ ; $x=-4 \implies y=-3$ . Coords: (3, 4) and (-4, -3) [4m]
$(x-5)^2 - 25 + (y+3)^2 - 9 + 9 = 0 \implies (x-5)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 25$ . Centre: (5, -3). Radius = $\sqrt{25} = 5$ . (Wait, prompt says show radius is 4, but calculation shows 5. Corrected: $x^2 + y^2 - 10x + 6y + 18 = 0$ would give $r=4$ . Based on given eq $x^2+y^2-10x+6y+9=0$ , $r = \sqrt{25+9-9} = 5$ . Correction for mark scheme: Radius is 5). [4m]
Gradient of radius to (3, 1) is $1/3$ . Gradient of tangent = $-3$ . $y - 1 = -3(x - 3) \implies y = -3x + 10$ . $3x + y = 10$ [4m]
$r^2 = (5-2)^2 + (3 - (-1))^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 25$ . $(x-2)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 25 \implies x^2 - 4x + 4 + y^2 + 2y + 1 = 25$ . $x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 2y - 20 = 0$ [4m]

Section C

$\ln y = n \ln x + \ln a$ . Gradient $n = 2.5$ . Intercept $\ln a = 1.2 \implies a = e^{1.2} \approx 3.32$ . $n=2.5, a=3.32$ [4m]
$\log y = \log k + x \log b$ . Point (0, 1) $\implies \log k = 1 \implies k = 10$ . Point (2, 3) $\implies 3 = 1 + 2 \log b \implies \log b = 1 \implies b = 10$ . $k=10, b=10$ [4m]
Midpoint $M = (4, 7)$ . Gradient $AB = (10-4)/(6-2) = 6/4 = 1.5$ . Perpendicular gradient $m = -1/1.5 = -2/3$ . $y - 7 = -2/3(x - 4) \implies 3y - 21 = -2x + 8$ . $2x + 3y = 29$ [5m]
Centre of $C$ : $(x-2)^2 + (y+1)^2 = 11 + 4 + 1 = 16 \implies (2, -1)$ . Line through $(2, -1)$ and $(7, 4)$ . $m = (4 - (-1))/(7 - 2) = 5/5 = 1$ . $y - 4 = 1(x - 7) \implies y = x - 3$ . $x - y = 3$ [4m]
$x^2 - 6x + 11 = 2x - 4 \implies x^2 - 8x + 15 = 0 \implies (x-3)(x-5) = 0$ . $x=3 \implies y=2$ ; $x=5 \implies y=6$ . Coords: (3, 2) and (5, 6). Distance $PQ = \sqrt{(5-3)^2 + (6-2)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} \approx 4.47$ . Distance = 4.47 units [6m]
