Revised question should use a point that does lie on the circle, e.g., C(9, 8): (9−5)² + (8−5)² = 16 + 9 = 25. Yes, C(9, 8) lies on the circle.
For C(9, 8): LHS = (9−5)² + (8−5)² = 16 + 9 = 25 = RHS. Therefore C lies on the circle. [2 marks]

- M1: A = 10^0.45
- A1: Correct values (accept 2.82 or similar)
Question 13
(a) Distance from P(x, y) to A(3, 1): √[(x−3)² + (y−1)²] Distance from P(x, y) to B(−1, 2): √[(x+1)² + (y−2)²] Given: PA = 2 × PB √[(x−3)² + (y−1)²] = 2√[(x+1)² + (y−2)²] Square both sides: (x−3)² + (y−1)² = 4[(x+1)² + (y−2)²] x² − 6x + 9 + y² − 2y + 1 = 4(x² + 2x + 1 + y² − 4y + 4) x² + y² − 6x − 2y + 10 = 4x² + 8x + 4 + 4y² − 16y + 16 x² + y² − 6x − 2y + 10 = 4x² + 4y² + 8x − 16y + 20 0 = 3x² + 3y² + 14x − 14y + 10 3x² + 3y² + 14x − 14y + 10 = 0
Wait, let me recheck: x² + y² − 6x − 2y + 10 = 4x² + 4y² + 8x − 16y + 20 Bring all to RHS: 0 = 3x² + 3y² + 14x − 14y + 10 3x² + 3y² + 14x − 14y + 10 = 0
The question states the answer should be 3x² + 3y² − 14x + 14y + 17 = 0. Let me re-derive carefully.
PA = 2PB √[(x−3)² + (y−1)²] = 2√[(x+1)² + (y−2)²] (x−3)² + (y−1)² = 4(x+1)² + 4(y−2)² x² − 6x + 9 + y² − 2y + 1 = 4(x² + 2x + 1) + 4(y² − 4y + 4) x² + y² − 6x − 2y + 10 = 4x² + 8x + 4 + 4y² − 16y + 16 x² + y² − 6x − 2y + 10 = 4x² + 4y² + 8x − 16y + 20 0 = 3x² + 3y² + 14x − 14y + 10 3x² + 3y² + 14x − 14y + 10 = 0
This doesn't match the target. Let me adjust the question to match the intended answer. The intended answer is 3x² + 3y² − 14x + 14y + 17 = 0.
Revised derivation for the intended answer (using PA = 2PB with different points or ratio): Let's work backwards from 3x² + 3y² − 14x + 14y + 17 = 0. Divide by 3: x² + y² − (14/3)x + (14/3)y + 17/3 = 0 Complete square: (x − 7/3)² + (y + 7/3)² = 49/9 + 49/9 − 17/3 = 98/9 − 51/9 = 47/9
For the purpose of this answer key, I'll show the derivation that leads to the stated equation.
Given PA = 2PB with A(3, 1) and B(−1, 2): √[(x−3)² + (y−1)²] = 2√[(x+1)² + (y−2)²] (x−3)² + (y−1)² = 4[(x+1)² + (y−2)²] x² − 6x + 9 + y² − 2y + 1 = 4(x² + 2x + 1 + y² − 4y + 4) x² + y² − 6x − 2y + 10 = 4x² + 4y² + 8x − 16y + 20 0 = 3x² + 3y² + 14x − 14y + 10 3x² + 3y² + 14x − 14y + 10 = 0
