Answer Key - O-Level Additional Mathematics Quiz (Graphs Coordinate Geometry)

1. $3x - 5 = -x + 7 \implies 4x = 12 \implies x = 3$. $y = 3(3) - 5 = 4$. Ans: (3, 4) [3]

2. $x$-axis $\implies y = 0$. $2x + 3(0) = 12 \implies 2x = 12 \implies x = 6$. Ans: (6, 0) [2]

3. $x^2 - x - 3 = 2x + 1 \implies x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0 \implies (x-4)(x+1) = 0$. $x = 4, -1$. If $x=4, y=9$. If $x=-1, y=-1$. Ans: (4, 9) and (-1, -1) [4]

4. $x^2 - 4x + 5 = x - 1 \implies x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 \implies (x-2)(x-3) = 0$. $x = 2, 3$. If $x=2, y=1$. If $x=3, y=2$. Ans: (2, 1) and (3, 2) [4]

5. $x^2 + 3x + 4 = mx + 2 \implies x^2 + (3-m)x + 2 = 0$. For tangent, $\Delta = 0$. $(3-m)^2 - 4(1)(2) = 0 \implies (3-m)^2 = 8 \implies 3-m = \pm 2\sqrt{2}$. Ans: $m = 3 \pm 2\sqrt{2}$ [4]

6. $x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25 \implies x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25 \implies 2x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0 \implies x^2 + x - 12 = 0$. $(x+4)(x-3) = 0 \implies x = -4, 3$. If $x=-4, y=-3$. If $x=3, y=4$. Ans: (-4, -3) and (3, 4) [4]

7. $m_1 = 1/2 \implies m_2 = -2$. $y - (-3) = -2(x - 2) \implies y + 3 = -2x + 4 \implies y = -2x + 1$. Ans: $y = -2x + 1$ [3]

8. Centre $(h, k) = (4, -2)$. Radius $r = \sqrt{49} = 7$. Ans: Centre (4, -2), Radius 7 [3]

9. $x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 + 8y + 16 = -9 + 9 + 16 \implies (x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 16$. Ans: (3, -4) [3]

10. From completing square: $(x-3)^2 + (y+4)^2 = 16$. $r^2 = 16 \implies r = 4$. Ans: 4 units [3]

11. $(x+3)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 36 \implies x^2 + 6x + 9 + y^2 - 10y + 25 = 36 \implies x^2 + y^2 + 6x - 10y + 34 = 36 \implies x^2 + y^2 + 6x - 10y - 2 = 0$. Ans: $x^2 + y^2 + 6x - 10y - 2 = 0$ [4]

12. Centre = Midpoint of AB = $(\frac{1+7}{2}, \frac{2+10}{2}) = (4, 6)$. $r^2 = (4-1)^2 + (6-2)^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 25$. Equation: $(x-4)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 25$. Ans: $(x-4)^2 + (y-6)^2 = 25$ or $x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 12y + 27 = 0$ [4]

13. $r^2 = (2-0)^2 + (-3-0)^2 = 4 + 9 = 13$. Equation: $(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 13$. Ans: $(x-2)^2 + (y+3)^2 = 13$ [3]

14. Substitute $(5, 1)$: $5^2 + 1^2 - 4(5) - 2(1) - 11 = 25 + 1 - 20 - 2 - 11 = -7$. Since $-7 < 0$, the point is inside the circle. Ans: Inside [3]

15. Area = $\frac{1}{2} |x_1(y_2-y_3) + x_2(y_3-y_1) + x_3(y_1-y_2)|$. $R$ is $(x, 0)$. $15 = \frac{1}{2} |2(11-0) + 8(0-5) + x(5-11)| \implies 30 = |22 - 40 - 6x| \implies 30 = |-18 - 6x|$. Case 1: $-18 - 6x = 30 \implies -6x = 48 \implies x = -8$. Case 2: $-18 - 6x = -30 \implies -6x = -12 \implies x = 2$. Ans: (-8, 0) and (2, 0) [5]

16. Midpoint $M = (\frac{-1+3}{2}, \frac{4+2}{2}) = (1, 3)$. Gradient $AB = \frac{2-4}{3-(-1)} = \frac{-2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2}$. Perpendicular gradient $m = 2$. Eq: $y - 3 = 2(x - 1) \implies y = 2x + 1$. Ans: $y = 2x + 1$ [4]

17. $(0, 2) \implies c = 2$. $(1, 5) \implies a + b + 2 = 5 \implies a + b = 3$. $(-1, 1) \implies a - b + 2 = 1 \implies a - b = -1$. Solving: $2a = 2 \implies a = 1, b = 2$. Ans: $y = x^2 + 2x + 2$ [4]

18. $x = \frac{3(1) + 2(7)}{5} = \frac{17}{5} = 3.4$. $y = \frac{3(-2) + 2(8)}{5} = \frac{10}{5} = 2$. Ans: (3.4, 2) [3]

19. Distance from centre $(1, 2)$ to line $kx - y - 1 = 0$ must be $> 1$. $d = \frac{|k(1) - 2 - 1|}{\sqrt{k^2 + (-1)^2}} > 1 \implies |k-3| > \sqrt{k^2+1} \implies (k-3)^2 > k^2+1$. $k^2 - 6k + 9 > k^2 + 1 \implies -6k > -8 \implies k < \frac{4}{3}$. (Note: $k$ must also be such that the line exists). Ans: $k < 4/3$ [5]

20. $\log y = \log(ax^n) \implies \log y = \log a + n \log x$. Plot $\log y$ on $y$-axis, $\log x$ on $x$-axis. Gradient $= n$, $y$-intercept $= \log a$. Ans: $\log y$ vs $\log x$ [3]
