Answer Key and Marking Scheme
Paper: Practice Paper 4 (Version 4 of 5) Total Marks: 90
Section A: Coordinate Geometry of Straight Lines (30 marks)
Question 1
(a) Gradient of AB = (1 - 5)/(8 - 2) = -4/6 = -2/3 [M1, A1]
(b) Gradient of BC = (k - 1)/(-4 - 8) = (k - 1)/(-12) Since BC ⟂ AB: (k - 1)/(-12) × (-2/3) = -1 (k - 1)/(-12) = 3/2 k - 1 = -18 k = -17 [M1, M1, A1]
(c) Gradient of line through C parallel to AB = -2/3 Equation: y - (-17) = -2/3(x - (-4)) y + 17 = -2/3(x + 4) 3y + 51 = -2x - 8 2x + 3y + 59 = 0 [M1, M1, A1]
Question 2
(a) L₁: 3x - 4y + 12 = 0 → y = 3/4x + 3, gradient = 3/4 Gradient of L₂ = -4/3 (perpendicular) L₂ passes through P(6, -2): y - (-2) = -4/3(x - 6) y + 2 = -4/3x + 8 y = -4/3x + 6 [M1, M1, A1]
(b) Intersection: 3/4x + 3 = -4/3x + 6 Multiply by 12: 9x + 36 = -16x + 72 25x = 36 x = 1.44 y = 3/4(1.44) + 3 = 1.08 + 3 = 4.08 Intersection: (1.44, 4.08) or (36/25, 102/25) [M1, M1, A1]
(c) Distance from (0, 0) to 3x - 4y + 12 = 0: d = |3(0) - 4(0) + 12|/√(3² + (-4)²) = 12/5 = 2.4 units [M1, M1, A1]
Question 3
(a) PQ = √[(7-1)² + (3-3)²] = √36 = 6 PR = √[(4-1)² + (9-3)²] = √(9 + 36) = √45 = 3√5 QR = √[(4-7)² + (9-3)²] = √(9 + 36) = √45 = 3√5 Since PR = QR, triangle PQR is isosceles. [M1, A1]
(b) Base PQ = 6, height = perpendicular distance from R to PQ. PQ is horizontal (y = 3), so height = |9 - 3| = 6 Area = 1/2 × 6 × 6 = 18 square units [M1, M1, A1]
(c) Midpoint of PQ: ((1+7)/2, (3+3)/2) = (4, 3) Perpendicular bisector is vertical line through (4, 3): x = 4 [M1, M1, A1]
(d) In a rhombus, diagonals bisect each other. Centre of rhombus = midpoint of PR = ((1+4)/2, (3+9)/2) = (2.5, 6) S is reflection of Q across this centre: S = (2(2.5) - 7, 2(6) - 3) = (-2, 9) [M1, A1]
Question 4
(a) M = ((-2+4)/2, (1+5)/2) = (1, 3) [A1]
(b) Gradient of FM = (3 - (-3))/(1 - 2) = 6/(-1) = -6 Equation: y - (-3) = -6(x - 2) y + 3 = -6x + 12 y = -6x + 9 [M1, M1, A1]
(c) Centroid = average of vertices: x = (-2 + 4 + 2)/3 = 4/3 y = (1 + 5 + (-3))/3 = 3/3 = 1 Centroid: (4/3, 1) [M1, M1, A1]
Section B: Circles (30 marks)
Question 5
(a) x² + y² - 6x + 8y - 11 = 0 (x² - 6x) + (y² + 8y) = 11 (x - 3)² - 9 + (y + 4)² - 16 = 11 (x - 3)² + (y + 4)² = 36 Centre: (3, -4), Radius: 6 [M1, M1, M1, A1]
(b) Centre C(3, -4), point A(7, -1) Gradient of CA = (-1 - (-4))/(7 - 3) = 3/4 Gradient of tangent = -4/3 Equation: y - (-1) = -4/3(x - 7) y + 1 = -4/3x + 28/3 3y + 3 = -4x + 28 4x + 3y - 25 = 0 [M1, M1, M1, A1]
(c) C₂: centre (3, -4), radius 12 (x - 3)² + (y + 4)² = 144 x² - 6x + 9 + y² + 8y + 16 = 144 x² + y² - 6x + 8y - 119 = 0 [M1, A1]
Question 6
(a) Centre = ((-3+5)/2, (2+(-4))/2) = (1, -1) [A1]
(b) Radius = 1/2 × √[(5-(-3))² + (-4-2)²] = 1/2 × √(64 + 36) = 1/2 × √100 = 5 [M1, A1]
(c) (x - 1)² + (y + 1)² = 25 [A1]
(d) Distance from C(1, 3) to centre (1, -1) = √[(1-1)² + (3-(-1))²] = √16 = 4 Since 4 < 5, C lies inside the circle, not outside. Wait—recheck: distance = 4, radius = 5. 4 < 5, so C is inside. Correction: The question asks to show C lies outside. Let me recalculate. C(1, 3): (1-1)² + (3+1)² = 0 + 16 = 16. Distance = 4. Radius = 5. Since 4 < 5, C is inside the circle. The premise is incorrect. Revised answer: Distance = 4 < 5, so C lies inside the circle. [M1, M1, A1 with correct conclusion]
(e) For a point inside the circle, the tangent length concept doesn't apply directly. If C were outside: tangent length = √(d² - r²) = √(4² - 5²) = √(-9), which is undefined. Correction: C is inside, so no real tangent from C to the circle exists. Revised: Since C lies inside the circle, no real tangent can be drawn from C to the circle. [M1, M1, A1]
Note: The question as written contains an error. If C(1, 3) is inside the circle, parts (d) and (e) need adjustment. A corrected version might use C(1, 8) or similar.
Question 7
(a) Midpoint of PQ: ((2+6)/2, (1+5)/2) = (4, 3) Gradient of PQ = (5-1)/(6-2) = 4/4 = 1 Gradient of perpendicular bisector = -1 Equation: y - 3 = -1(x - 4) → y = -x + 7 [M1, M1, A1]
(b) Midpoint of QR: ((6+2)/2, (5+9)/2) = (4, 7) Gradient of QR = (9-5)/(2-6) = 4/(-4) = -1 Gradient of perpendicular bisector = 1 Equation: y - 7 = 1(x - 4) → y = x + 3 [M1, M1, A1]
(c) Intersection: -x + 7 = x + 3 → 2x = 4 → x = 2, y = 5 Centre: (2, 5) [M1, A1]
(d) Radius = distance from (2, 5) to P(2, 1) = √[(2-2)² + (1-5)²] = 4 Equation: (x - 2)² + (y - 5)² = 16 [M1, A1]
Question 8
(a) Substitute y = 2x + k into circle equation: x² + (2x + k)² - 4x + 2(2x + k) - 20 = 0 x² + 4x² + 4kx + k² - 4x + 4x + 2k - 20 = 0 5x² + 4kx + k² + 2k - 20 = 0 [M1, M1]
For tangency, discriminant = 0: (4k)² - 4(5)(k² + 2k - 20) = 0 16k² - 20(k² + 2k - 20) = 0 16k² - 20k² - 40k + 400 = 0 -4k² - 40k + 400 = 0 k² + 10k - 100 = 0 [M1, M1]
k = [-10 ± √(100 + 400)]/2 = [-10 ± √500]/2 = [-10 ± 10√5]/2 = -5 ± 5√5 k = -5 + 5√5 or k = -5 - 5√5 [M1, A1]
(b) Larger k = -5 + 5√5 ≈ 6.18 From 5x² + 4kx + (k² + 2k - 20) = 0 with discriminant = 0: x = -4k/(2×5) = -2k/5 x = -2(-5 + 5√5)/5 = (10 - 10√5)/5 = 2 - 2√5 [M1, M1] y = 2(2 - 2√5) + (-5 + 5√5) = 4 - 4√5 - 5 + 5√5 = -1 + √5 [M1] Point of tangency: (2 - 2√5, -1 + √5) [A1]
Section C: Coordinate Geometry Applications (30 marks)
Question 9
(a) AB vector = (6, 2), DC vector = (8-2, 8-6) = (6, 2). AB = DC. AD vector = (2, 6), BC vector = (8-6, 8-2) = (2, 6). AD = BC. Both pairs of opposite sides are equal and parallel, so ABCD is a parallelogram. [M1, M1, A1]
(b) Area = |AB × AD| (cross product magnitude) = |6×6 - 2×2| = |36 - 4| = 32 square units [M1, M1, M1, A1]
(c) Intersection of diagonals = midpoint of AC (or BD): ((0+8)/2, (0+8)/2) = (4, 4) [M1, M1, A1]
Question 10
(a) Intersection: x² - 4x + 7 = 2x - 1 x² - 6x + 8 = 0 (x - 2)(x - 4) = 0 x = 2 or x = 4 [M1, M1] When x = 2: y = 2(2) - 1 = 3 → (2, 3) When x = 4: y = 2(4) - 1 = 7 → (4, 7) [M1, A1]
(b) Chord length = √[(4-2)² + (7-3)²] = √(4 + 16) = √20 = 2√5 [M1, M1, A1]
(c) Midpoint of chord: ((2+4)/2, (3+7)/2) = (3, 5) Gradient of chord = (7-3)/(4-2) = 4/2 = 2 Gradient of perpendicular bisector = -1/2 Equation: y - 5 = -1/2(x - 3) 2y - 10 = -x + 3 x + 2y - 13 = 0 [M1, M1, A1]
Question 11
(a) Distance from P(x, y) to A(3, 1): √[(x-3)² + (y-1)²] Distance from P(x, y) to B(0, -2): √[(x-0)² + (y+2)²] Given: √[(x-3)² + (y-1)²] = 2√[x² + (y+2)²] [M1] Square both sides: (x-3)² + (y-1)² = 4[x² + (y+2)²] [M1] x² - 6x + 9 + y² - 2y + 1 = 4x² + 4(y² + 4y + 4) x² - 6x + 9 + y² - 2y + 1 = 4x² + 4y² + 16y + 16 [M1] 0 = 3x² + 6x + 3y² + 18y + 6 Divide by 3: x² + 2x + y² + 6y + 2 = 0 [M1] (x² + 2x) + (y² + 6y) = -2 (x + 1)² - 1 + (y + 3)² - 9 = -2 (x + 1)² + (y + 3)² = 8 This is a circle. [A1]
(b) Centre: (-1, -3), Radius: √8 = 2√2 [M1, M1, A1]
(c) Distance from O(0, 0) to centre (-1, -3): √(1 + 9) = √10 √10 ≈ 3.16, radius = 2√2 ≈ 2.83 Since √10 > 2√2, the origin lies outside the circle. [M1, A1]
Question 12
(a) Intersection: mx + 5 = x² + 3x + 2 x² + (3 - m)x - 3 = 0 [M1, A1] Discriminant = (3 - m)² - 4(1)(-3) = (3 - m)² + 12 [A1]
(b) For two distinct points: discriminant > 0 (3 - m)² + 12 > 0 Since (3 - m)² ≥ 0 for all real m, (3 - m)² + 12 ≥ 12 > 0 for all real m. Therefore, the line intersects the curve at two distinct points for all real values of m. [M1, M1, M1, A1]
(c) For tangency: discriminant = 0 (3 - m)² + 12 = 0 (3 - m)² = -12 No real solution. The line is never tangent to the curve for real m. The line always intersects at two distinct points. [M1, M1, A1]
Question 13
(a) Centre: (h, h + 1) Distance to (2, 3): √[(h-2)² + (h+1-3)²] = √[(h-2)² + (h-2)²] = √[2(h-2)²] Distance to (6, 7): √[(h-6)² + (h+1-7)²] = √[(h-6)² + (h-6)²] = √[2(h-6)²] [M1, M1] Equating: √[2(h-2)²] = √[2(h-6)²] 2(h-2)² = 2(h-6)² (h-2)² = (h-6)² [A1]
(b) h² - 4h + 4 = h² - 12h + 36 8h = 32 h = 4 Centre: (4, 5) [M1, A1]
(c) Radius = distance from (4, 5) to (2, 3): √[(4-2)² + (5-3)²] = √(4 + 4) = √8 = 2√2 [M1, A1]
(d) (x - 4)² + (y - 5)² = 8 [A1]
(e) Gradient of radius to (2, 3): (5-3)/(4-2) = 2/2 = 1 Gradient of tangent = -1 Equation: y - 3 = -1(x - 2) y - 3 = -x + 2 x + y - 5 = 0 [M1, A1]
