(a) Complete the square:
$x^2 - 6x + y^2 + 4y = 12$
$(x - 3)^2 - 9 + (y + 2)^2 - 4 = 12$
$(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25$

Centre: $(3, -2)$
Radius: $\sqrt{25} = 5$

Answer: Centre $(3, -2)$, Radius $5$ [3]

(b) Substitute $y = 2x - 5$ into circle equation:
$x^2 + (2x - 5)^2 - 6x + 4(2x - 5) - 12 = 0$
$x^2 + 4x^2 - 20x + 25 - 6x + 8x - 20 - 12 = 0$
$5x^2 - 18x - 7 = 0$
$(5x + 1)(x - 7) = 0$
$x = -\frac{1}{5}$ or $x = 7$

When $x = -\frac{1}{5}$: $y = 2(-\frac{1}{5}) - 5 = -\frac{2}{5} - 5 = -\frac{27}{5}$

(a) $y = x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x + 2$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 - 12x + 9$
At stationary points, $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$:
$3x^2 - 12x + 9 = 0$
$x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0$
$(x - 1)(x - 3) = 0$
$x = 1$ or $x = 3$

When $x = 1$: $y = 1 - 6 + 9 + 2 = 6$ → Point $(1, 6)$
When $x = 3$: $y = 27 - 54 + 27 + 2 = 2$ → Point $(3, 2)$

Second derivative: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 6x - 12$
At $x = 1$: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -6 < 0$ → Local maximum at $(1, 6)$
At $x = 3$: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 6 > 0$ → Local minimum at $(3, 2)$

Answer: Local maximum at $(1, 6)$, Local minimum at $(3, 2)$ [5]

(a) Midpoint of $AB$: $\left(\frac{-2+4}{2}, \frac{7+1}{2}\right) = (1, 4)$

Equation: $y - 4 = 1(x - 1)$
$y = x + 3$

$y = 2x - 7$

$x + 3 = 2x - 7$
$x = 10$

(a) $y = \frac{x^2 + 4}{x - 2}$
Using quotient rule: $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(2x)(x - 2) - (x^2 + 4)(1)}{(x - 2)^2}$
$= \frac{2x^2 - 4x - x^2 - 4}{(x - 2)^2} = \frac{x^2 - 4x - 4}{(x - 2)^2}$

At stationary points, $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 - 4x - 4 = 0$
$x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 16}}{2} = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{32}}{2} = \frac{4 \pm 4\sqrt{2}}{2} = 2 \pm 2\sqrt{2}$

When $x = 2 + 2\sqrt{2}$:
$y = \frac{(2 + 2\sqrt{2})^2 + 4}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4 + 8\sqrt{2} + 8 + 4}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{16 + 8\sqrt{2}}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{8(2 + \sqrt{2})}{2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4(2 + \sqrt{2})}{\sqrt{2}} = 4\sqrt{2} + 4$

When $x = 2 - 2\sqrt{2}$:
$y = \frac{(2 - 2\sqrt{2})^2 + 4}{-2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4 - 8\sqrt{2} + 8 + 4}{-2\sqrt{2}} = \frac{16 - 8\sqrt{2}}{-2\sqrt{2}} = -4\sqrt{2} + 4$

Answer: $(2 + 2\sqrt{2}, 4 + 4\sqrt{2})$ and $(2 - 2\sqrt{2}, 4 - 4\sqrt{2})$ [4]

(b) Second derivative test or first derivative test:
For $x = 2 + 2\sqrt{2} \approx 4.83$: test $x = 4$ and $x = 6$
$\frac{dy}{dx}$ changes from negative to positive → Local minimum

For $x = 2 - 2\sqrt{2} \approx -0.83$: test $x = -2$ and $x = 0$
$\frac{dy}{dx}$ changes from positive to negative → Local maximum

Answer: $(2 + 2\sqrt{2}, 4 + 4\sqrt{2})$ is a local minimum; $(2 - 2\sqrt{2}, 4 - 4\sqrt{2})$ is a local maximum [2]

Section B (30 marks)

(a) Gradient of $BC$: $m_{BC} = \frac{4 - 0}{10 - 6} = \frac{4}{4} = 1$
Equation using $B(6, 0)$: $y - 0 = 1(x - 6)$
$y = x - 6$

Answer: $y = x - 6$ [2]

(b) $AB$ is perpendicular to $BC$, so gradient of $AB = -1$ (since $m_{BC} = 1$)
Check: $m_{AB} = \frac{0 - 8}{6 - 0} = \frac{-8}{6} = -\frac{4}{3}$ — Wait, this contradicts perpendicularity.
Re-reading: "AB is perpendicular to BC" and coordinates given: $A(0,8)$, $B(6,0)$, $C(10,4)$.
$m_{AB} = \frac{0-8}{6-0} = -\frac{4}{3}$, $m_{BC} = \frac{4-0}{10-6} = 1$. Product $= -\frac{4}{3} \neq -1$.
There is an inconsistency in the problem statement. Assuming the coordinates are correct and the perpendicular condition defines the geometry, we proceed with given coordinates.
$AD \parallel BC$, so gradient of $AD = 1$.
$A(0, 8)$, so equation of $AD$: $y - 8 = 1(x - 0) \Rightarrow y = x + 8$.
$D$ lies on y-axis, so $x = 0 \Rightarrow y = 8$. But $A$ is already $(0, 8)$. This would make $D = A$, which is degenerate.
Correction: The problem likely intends $D$ to be on the y-axis such that $AD \parallel BC$. With $A(0,8)$ and gradient 1, line $AD$ is $y = x + 8$. For $D$ on y-axis, $x=0$ gives $y=8$, same as $A$. This suggests $D$ is not distinct from $A$ unless the parallel condition uses a different point.
Alternative interpretation: Perhaps $D$ is on y-axis and $ABCD$ is a quadrilateral with vertices in order. Then $AD$ is a side. If $AD \parallel BC$ and $D$ is on y-axis, then $D$ must be $(0, d)$ with $d \neq 8$. Gradient of $AD = \frac{d - 8}{0 - 0}$ is undefined (vertical), but $BC$ has gradient 1. Contradiction.
Resolution: The given coordinates $A(0,8)$, $B(6,0)$, $C(10,4)$ with $AB \perp BC$ is impossible. For the paper, we adjust: Assume $A(0, 8)$ is correct, $B(6, 0)$ is correct, and $AB \perp BC$ determines $C$. But $C$ is given as $(10, 4)$.
Best approach for marking: Use the given coordinates as primary, ignore the perpendicular statement for calculation, or treat as "given that $AB \perp BC$" to find a corrected $C$. Since $C$ is given, we use coordinates.
$AD \parallel BC \Rightarrow m_{AD} = 1$. $A(0,8)$, so $AD: y = x + 8$. $D$ on y-axis $\Rightarrow x=0 \Rightarrow y=8$. So $D = (0, 8) = A$. Degenerate.
Likely typo in problem: $A$ should not be on y-axis, or $D$ is not on y-axis, or $BC$ gradient is different.
For answer key: We state the issue and provide the logical conclusion based on given data.
If we ignore "$D$ lies on y-axis" and use $AD \parallel BC$ with $A(0,8)$, then $D$ could be any point on $y = x + 8$. But quadrilateral needs 4 distinct vertices.
Assume $A$ is not on y-axis: Suppose $A(2, 8)$ instead? But problem says $A(0, 8)$.
We will mark based on method:
M1: $m_{BC} = 1$, equation $y = x - 6$
M1: $m_{AD} = 1$ (parallel), line through $A$: $y = x + 8$
M1: $D$ on y-axis $\Rightarrow x=0 \Rightarrow y=8$
A1: $D(0, 8)$ but note $D \equiv A$
Answer: $D(0, 8)$ (coincident with $A$, degenerate quadrilateral) [3]

(c) Area of quadrilateral $ABCD$ with $D = A$: Area = Area of triangle $ABC$.
Using shoelace formula:
$A(0,8)$, $B(6,0)$, $C(10,4)$
Area $= \frac{1}{2} |0(0) + 6(4) + 10(8) - [8(6) + 0(10) + 4(0)]|$
$= \frac{1}{2} |0 + 24 + 80 - 48| = \frac{1}{2} |56| = 28$

Answer: $28 \text{ units}^2$ [3]

Marking notes: M1 for gradient of BC, A1 for equation. M1 for using parallel condition, M1 for line AD equation, M1 for substituting x=0, A1 for D coordinates (with note). M1 for shoelace or triangle area method, M1 for correct substitution, A1 for area.

(a) Curve: $y = x^2 - 4x + 7$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x - 4$
Line: $y = mx + 3$
At point of tangency $(x_0, y_0)$:
$m = 2x_0 - 4$ (gradient matches)
$y_0 = x_0^2 - 4x_0 + 7$ (on curve)
$y_0 = mx_0 + 3$ (on line)

Substitute: $x_0^2 - 4x_0 + 7 = (2x_0 - 4)x_0 + 3$
$x_0^2 - 4x_0 + 7 = 2x_0^2 - 4x_0 + 3$
$0 = x_0^2 - 4$
$x_0^2 = 4 \Rightarrow x_0 = \pm 2$

If $x_0 = 2$: $m = 2(2) - 4 = 0$
If $x_0 = -2$: $m = 2(-2) - 4 = -8$

Answer: $m = 0$ or $m = -8$ [3]

(b) For $m = 0$, $x_0 = 2$: $y_0 = 2^2 - 4(2) + 7 = 4 - 8 + 7 = 3$
Point: $(2, 3)$

For $m = -8$, $x_0 = -2$: $y_0 = (-2)^2 - 4(-2) + 7 = 4 + 8 + 7 = 19$
Point: $(-2, 19)$

Answer: $(2, 3)$ for $m = 0$; $(-2, 19)$ for $m = -8$ [3]

Substitute $P(1, 2)$: $1 + 4 + 2g + 4f + c = 0 \Rightarrow 2g + 4f + c = -5$ (1)
Substitute $Q(5, 6)$: $25 + 36 + 10g + 12f + c = 0 \Rightarrow 10g + 12f + c = -61$ (2)
Substitute $R(7, 2)$: $49 + 4 + 14g + 4f + c = 0 \Rightarrow 14g + 4f + c = -53$ (3)

(2) - (1): $8g + 8f = -56 \Rightarrow g + f = -7$ (4)
(3) - (1): $12g + 0f = -48 \Rightarrow g = -4$
From (4): $-4 + f = -7 \Rightarrow f = -3$
From (1): $2(-4) + 4(-3) + c = -5 \Rightarrow -8 - 12 + c = -5 \Rightarrow c = 15$

Equation: $x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 6y + 15 = 0$

Answer: $x^2 + y^2 - 8x - 6y + 15 = 0$ [5]

(b) Centre: $(-g, -f) = (4, 3)$
Radius: $r = \sqrt{g^2 + f^2 - c} = \sqrt{16 + 9 - 15} = \sqrt{10}$

Line: $y = x + 1 \Rightarrow x - y + 1 = 0$
Distance from centre $(4, 3)$ to line:
$d = \frac{|4 - 3 + 1|}{\sqrt{1^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$

Chord length $= 2\sqrt{r^2 - d^2} = 2\sqrt{10 - 2} = 2\sqrt{8} = 4\sqrt{2}$

Answer: $4\sqrt{2}$ [3]

(b) For right-angled triangle, hypotenuse $AC$ is diameter of circumcircle.
Midpoint of $AC$ (centre): $\left(\frac{2+4}{2}, \frac{9+(-1)}{2}\right) = (3, 4)$
Radius: $\frac{1}{2} \sqrt{AC^2} = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{104} = \sqrt{26}$

Equation: $(x - 3)^2 + (y - 4)^2 = 26$
$x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 - 8y + 16 = 26$
$x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 8y - 1 = 0$

Answer: $x^2 + y^2 - 6x - 8y - 1 = 0$ [4]

(c) Substitute $y = 2x - 5$ into circle:
$x^2 + (2x - 5)^2 - 6x - 8(2x - 5) - 1 = 0$
$x^2 + 4x^2 - 20x + 25 - 6x - 16x + 40 - 1 = 0$
$5x^2 - 42x + 64 = 0$
$(5x - 32)(x - 2) = 0$
$x = \frac{32}{5}$ or $x = 2$

When $x = 2$: $y = 2(2) - 5 = -1$ → Point $(2, -1)$ (this is point $C$)
When $x = \frac{32}{5}$: $y = 2(\frac{32}{5}) - 5 = \frac{64}{5} - \frac{25}{5} = \frac{39}{5}$ → Point $\left(\frac{32}{5}, \frac{39}{5}\right)$

Answer: $(2, -1)$ and $\left(\frac{32}{5}, \frac{39}{5}\right)$ [3]
