Answer Key - Secondary 3 Additional Mathematics Quiz (Graphs Coordinate Geometry)

Section A

Gradient $m = \frac{-3-5}{4-(-2)} = \frac{-8}{6} = -\frac{4}{3}$ . Equation: $y - 5 = -\frac{4}{3}(x + 2) \implies 3y - 15 = -4x - 8 \implies 4x + 3y = 7$ . [3 marks]
$L_1$ gradient $m = \frac{3}{2}$ . Parallel line $L_2$ has $m = \frac{3}{2}$ . Equation: $y - (-4) = \frac{3}{2}(x - 1) \implies 2y + 8 = 3x - 3 \implies 3x - 2y = 11$ . [3 marks]
Midpoint formula: $2 = \frac{-3 + x_Q}{2} \implies x_Q = 7$ ; $-1 = \frac{7 + y_Q}{2} \implies y_Q = -9$ . Coordinates: $(7, -9)$ . [3 marks]
$m_1 = \frac{2}{3}$ . For $3x + 2y = 10$ , $m_2 = -\frac{3}{2}$ . $m_1 \times m_2 = \frac{2}{3} \times -\frac{3}{2} = -1$ . The lines are perpendicular. [3 marks]
Midpoint of $CD = (\frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{2+8}{2}) = (3, 5)$ . Gradient $CD = \frac{8-2}{5-1} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$ . Perpendicular gradient $m = -\frac{2}{3}$ . Equation: $y - 5 = -\frac{2}{3}(x - 3) \implies 3y - 15 = -2x + 6 \implies 2x + 3y = 21$ . [5 marks]

Section B

$(x - 3)^2 + (y + 4)^2 = 36$ . [2 marks]
$(x^2 - 8x + 16) + (y^2 + 10y + 25) = 8 + 16 + 25 \implies (x-4)^2 + (y+5)^2 = 49$ . Center: $(4, -5)$ , Radius: 7. [4 marks]
Center = Midpoint of $PQ = (\frac{-1+5}{2}, \frac{3+7}{2}) = (2, 5)$ . Radius $r = \sqrt{(2-(-1))^2 + (5-3)^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{13}$ . Equation: $(x-2)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 13$ . [5 marks]
Gradient of radius to $(3, 4)$ is $m_r = \frac{4-0}{3-0} = \frac{4}{3}$ . Gradient of tangent $m_t = -\frac{3}{4}$ . Equation: $y - 4 = -\frac{3}{4}(x - 3) \implies 4y - 16 = -3x + 9 \implies 3x + 4y = 25$ . [5 marks]
Radius $r = |7 - 2| = 5$ . Equation: $(x-2)^2 + (y-3)^2 = 25$ . [4 marks]
Substitute $(4, 5)$ into $x^2 + y^2 - 2x - 4y - 11$ : $16 + 25 - 8 - 20 - 11 = 2$ . Since $2 > 0$ , the point lies outside the circle. [4 marks]
$x^2 + (x+1)^2 = 25 \implies x^2 + x^2 + 2x + 1 = 25 \implies 2x^2 + 2x - 24 = 0 \implies x^2 + x - 12 = 0$ . $(x+4)(x-3) = 0 \implies x = -4$ or $x = 3$ . If $x = -4, y = -3$ . If $x = 3, y = 4$ . Points: $(-4, -3)$ and $(3, 4)$ . [6 marks]

Section C

$2x - 3 = x^2 - 4x + 5 \implies x^2 - 6x + 8 = 0 \implies (x-2)(x-4) = 0$ . $x = 2 \implies y = 1$ ; $x = 4 \implies y = 5$ . Points: $(2, 1)$ and $(4, 5)$ . [5 marks]
$mx + 2 = x^2 + 4x + 7 \implies x^2 + (4-m)x + 5 = 0$ . For tangent, $\Delta = 0 \implies (4-m)^2 - 4(1)(5) = 0 \implies (4-m)^2 = 20$ . $4-m = \pm \sqrt{20} \implies m = 4 \pm 2\sqrt{5}$ . [6 marks]
$kx - 1 = x^2 + 2x + 5 \implies x^2 + (2-k)x + 6 = 0$ . No intersection $\implies \Delta < 0 \implies (2-k)^2 - 4(1)(6) < 0$ . $(2-k)^2 < 24 \implies -\sqrt{24} < 2-k < \sqrt{24}$ . $-2\sqrt{6} < 2-k < 2\sqrt{6} \implies -2-2\sqrt{6} < -k < -2+2\sqrt{6} \implies 2-2\sqrt{6} < k < 2+2\sqrt{6}$ . [6 marks]
$x^2 + (3x+c)^2 = 10 \implies x^2 + 9x^2 + 6cx + c^2 = 10 \implies 10x^2 + 6cx + (c^2-10) = 0$ . Two distinct points $\implies \Delta > 0 \implies (6c)^2 - 4(10)(c^2-10) > 0$ . $36c^2 - 40c^2 + 400 > 0 \implies -4c^2 > -400 \implies c^2 < 100 \implies -10 < c < 10$ . [6 marks]
Distance from $(2, 3)$ to $x - y + k = 0$ must equal $\sqrt{5}$ . $\frac{|2 - 3 + k|}{\sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2}} = \sqrt{5} \implies \frac{|k-1|}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{5} \implies |k-1| = \sqrt{10}$ . $k-1 = \pm \sqrt{10} \implies k = 1 \pm \sqrt{10}$ . [6 marks]

Section D

Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times 6 = 12$ units $^2$ . [4 marks]
$x = \frac{3(1) + 2(11)}{5} = \frac{25}{5} = 5$ . $y = \frac{3(-2) + 2(13)}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4$ . Point $P(5, 4)$ . [5 marks]
$\log y = n \log x + \log a$ . $n = \text{gradient} = 1.5$ . $\log a = \text{intercept} = 0.4 \implies a = 10^{0.4} \approx 2.51$ . [5 marks]
