Section A: Coordinate Geometry

1. A(2, 5), B(8, −1) (a) Gradient = (−1 − 5) / (8 − 2) = −6 / 6 = −1 (b) y − 5 = −1(x − 2) → y − 5 = −x + 2 → x + y − 7 = 0 (c) y-intercept (x=0): 0 + y − 7 = 0 → y = 7. C = (0, 7)

2. P(3, 4), m = −2/3 (a) y − 4 = −2/3 (x − 3) → y = −2/3 x + 2 + 4 → y = −2/3 x + 6 (b) Perpendicular gradient = 3/2. Q(−1, 2): y − 2 = 3/2 (x + 1) → y = 3/2 x + 7/2 (c) −2/3 x + 6 = 3/2 x + 7/2 → Multiply 6: −4x + 36 = 9x + 21 → 13x = 15 → x = 15/13. y = −2/3(15/13) + 6 = −10/13 + 78/13 = 68/13. Intersection: (15/13, 68/13)

3. D(−2, 1), E(4, 5), F(6, 1) (a) DE = √[(4 − (−2))² + (5 − 1)²] = √(36 + 16) = √52 = 2√13 (b) Gradient DE = (5−1)/(4+2) = 4/6 = 2/3. Gradient DF = (1−1)/(6+2) = 0. Product = 0, not −1. Check distances: EF² = (6−4)² + (1−5)² = 4 + 16 = 20. DE² = 52, DF² = (6+2)² + 0 = 64. 52 + 20 = 72 ≠ 64. Right angle at E? DE² + EF² = 52 + 20 = 72, DF² = 64. Not right. Right angle at F? EF² + DF² = 20 + 64 = 84 ≠ 52. Right angle at D? DE² + DF² = 52 + 64 = 116, EF² = 20. No. Wait, gradient DE = 2/3, gradient EF = (1−5)/(6−4) = −4/2 = −2. Product = −4/3 ≠ −1. Check coordinates: D(−2,1), E(4,5), F(6,1). Vector DE = (6,4), DF = (8,0). Dot product = 48+0=48 ≠ 0. Vector ED = (−6,−4), EF = (2,−4). Dot product = −12+16=4 ≠ 0. Vector FD = (−8,0), FE = (−2,4). Dot product = 16+0=16 ≠ 0. So triangle is NOT right-angled. (Error in question? Assuming standard: show right-angled at D means DE ⟂ DF. Gradient DE = 4/6 = 2/3, gradient DF = 0. Not perpendicular. Perhaps F is (6,−1)? Let's assume F(6,−1) for right angle at D: DF gradient = (−1−1)/(6+2) = −2/8 = −1/4. Product = (2/3)(−1/4) = −1/6 ≠ −1. Maybe E(4,−1)? No. Let's correct F to (6, −1) and D(−2,1), E(4,5). DE grad = 4/6=2/3, DF grad = (−2)/8 = −1/4, product = −1/6. Not. Let's assume F(2,5)? Then DF grad = 4/4=1, product = 2/3. Not. Given the marks, likely a typo. Let's assume F(6,1) is correct and they want to show right angle at E: ED = (−6,−4), EF = (2,−4). Dot = −12+16=4. Not. Right angle at F: FD = (−8,0), FE = (−2,4). Dot = 16. Not. So no right angle. I will proceed with given points and note no right angle, but for answer key, let's assume they meant F(6, −1) and right angle at D? No. Let's check area: using coordinates D(−2,1), E(4,5), F(6,1). Area = 0.5 |x1(y2−y3) + x2(y3−y1) + x3(y1−y2)| = 0.5 |−2(5−1) + 4(1−1) + 6(1−5)| = 0.5 |−8 + 0 −24| = 16. So area = 16 units². For part (b), maybe they want to show it's isosceles? DE = √52, EF = √20, DF = 8. Not isosceles. I'll provide a corrected version: Assume F(6, −1) makes DF gradient = (−1−1)/(6+2) = −2/8 = −1/4. DE gradient = 4/6 = 2/3. Product = −1/6. Still not. Assume E(4,−1): DE grad = (−1−1)/(4+2) = −2/6 = −1/3. DF grad = 0. Not. Let's assume the points are D(−2,1), E(4,5), F(4,−1). Then DE grad = 4/6=2/3, EF grad = (−1−5)/(4−4) undefined, so vertical. DF grad = (−1−1)/(4+2) = −2/6 = −1/3. Not. I'll skip the right-angle proof and just give area. For answer key, I'll state: (b) Show that DE² + EF² = DF² or similar, but with given points it's false. I'll assume a typo and provide a plausible correction: F(6, −1) and D(−2,1), E(4,5). Then DE² = 52, EF² = (6−4)² + (−1−5)² = 4+36=40, DF² = 8²+2²=68. 52+40=92 ≠ 68. Not. Maybe F(2,5)? DE²=52, EF²=4+0=4, DF²=16+16=32. No. I'll just give area based on given points. (c) Area = 16 square units.

4. Circle: x² + y² − 6x + 4y − 12 = 0 (a) (x − 3)² − 9 + (y + 2)² − 4 − 12 = 0 → (x − 3)² + (y + 2)² = 25. Centre (3, −2), radius 5. (b) R(7,1): Centre C(3,−2). Gradient CR = (1 − (−2)) / (7 − 3) = 3/4. Tangent gradient = −4/3. Equation: y − 1 = −4/3 (x − 7) → 3y − 3 = −4x + 28 → 4x + 3y = 31. (c) S(0,2): Distance from centre = √[(0−3)² + (2−(−2))²] = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5. Since distance = radius, S lies on the circle.

5. y = 2x + k tangent to x² + y² − 4x + 2y − 20 = 0. Substitute: 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. Tangent → discriminant = 0: (4k)² − 4(5)(k² + 2k − 20) = 0 → 16k² − 20k² − 40k + 400 = 0 → −4k² − 40k + 400 = 0 → k² + 10k − 100 = 0. k = [−10 ± √(100 + 400)] / 2 = [−10 ± √500] / 2 = [−10 ± 10√5] / 2 = −5 ± 5√5.

6. P(1,2), Q(5,8), R(9,2) (a) M = ((1+9)/2, (2+2)/2) = (5, 2) (b) Gradient PR = (2−2)/(9−1) = 0 (horizontal). QM: M(5,2), Q(5,8) → vertical line x=5. Horizontal and vertical are perpendicular. So QM ⟂ PR. (c) Perpendicular bisector of PR is vertical line through M(5,2): x = 5. (d) Reflection of Q(5,8) in PR (y=2) is Q'(5, −4). Quadrilateral PQRQ' has diagonals PR and QQ' perpendicular bisectors (PR horizontal, QQ' vertical). So it is a rhombus (or specifically a kite, but since diagonals bisect each other at M, it's a rhombus). Actually M is midpoint of PR and also midpoint of QQ'? M(5,2), Q(5,8), Q'(5,−4) → midpoint of QQ' is (5,2) = M. So diagonals bisect each other and are perpendicular → rhombus.

7. y = (2x+1)/(x−3) (a) x=0 → y = 1/(−3) = −1/3. y=0 → 2x+1=0 → x = −1/2. Points: (0, −1/3) and (−1/2, 0). (b) 5 = (2x+1)/(x−3) → 5x − 15 = 2x + 1 → 3x = 16 → x = 16/3.

Section B: Graphs, Linear Law, and Applications

8. y = a xⁿ (a) Graph: log y vs log x. (Log values: log 1.5≈0.176, log 4.2≈0.623; log 2≈0.301, log 8≈0.903; log 3≈0.477, log 20≈1.301; log 4.5≈0.653, log 50≈1.699; log 6≈0.778, log 95≈1.978). Plot and draw best-fit line. (b) log y = log a + n log x. From graph, gradient n ≈ (1.978−0.623)/(0.778−0.176) = 1.355/0.602 ≈ 2.25. Intercept log a ≈ 0.2 (from graph). So a ≈ 10^0.2 ≈ 1.58. (Accept reasonable values from graph: n ≈ 2.2 to 2.3, a ≈ 1.5 to 1.7) (c) x=5.0 → log x = 0.699. From line, log y ≈ 0.2 + 2.25(0.699) = 1.773. y ≈ 10^1.773 ≈ 59.2. (Accept 58–61)

9. P = k bᵗ (a) log P = log k + t log b. This is a linear equation in t and log P, so graph of log P vs t is a straight line. (b) Graph: t=1, log12≈1.079; t=2, log18≈1.255; t=3, log27≈1.431; t=4, log40.5≈1.607; t=5, log60.8≈1.784. Plot and draw best-fit line. (c) Gradient = log b. From graph, gradient ≈ (1.784−1.079)/(5−1) = 0.705/4 = 0.17625. So b ≈ 10^0.17625 ≈ 1.50. Intercept log k ≈ 0.90 (from graph). So k ≈ 10^0.90 ≈ 7.94. (Accept b ≈ 1.48–1.52, k ≈ 7.8–8.1) (d) t=7: log P ≈ 0.90 + 0.17625×7 = 2.13375. P ≈ 10^2.13375 ≈ 136. (Accept 130–140)

10. y = x³ − 6x² + 9x + 2 (a) dy/dx = 3x² − 12x + 9 (b) Stationary: 3x² − 12x + 9 = 0 → x² − 4x + 3 = 0 → (x−1)(x−3)=0 → x=1, x=3. x=1: y = 1 − 6 + 9 + 2 = 6. x=3: y = 27 − 54 + 27 + 2 = 2. Points: (1, 6) and (3, 2). (c) d²y/dx² = 6x − 12. At x=1: 6−12 = −6 < 0 → maximum. At x=3: 18−12 = 6 > 0 → minimum. (d) Sketch: y-intercept (x=0) = 2. Curve rises to max at (1,6), falls to min at (3,2), then rises. x-intercepts? Not required.

11. y = 4/x + x, x>0 (a) dy/dx = −4/x² + 1 (b) Stationary: −4/x² + 1 = 0 → 1 = 4/x² → x² = 4 → x = 2 (since x>0). y = 4/2 + 2 = 4. M = (2, 4). (c) d²y/dx² = 8/x³. At x=2, d²y/dx² = 8/8 = 1 > 0 → minimum. No other solution for dy/dx=0 in x>0, so no other stationary point. (d) 5 = 4/x + x → Multiply x: 5x = 4 + x² → x² − 5x + 4 = 0 → (x−1)(x−4)=0 → x = 1 or 4.

12. s = t³ − 9t² + 24t (a) v = ds/dt = 3t² − 18t + 24. a = dv/dt = 6t − 18. (b) v=0: 3t² − 18t + 24 = 0 → t² − 6t + 8 = 0 → (t−2)(t−4)=0 → t = 2 or 4 seconds. (c) First at rest at t=2: a = 6(2) − 18 = −6 m/s². (d) Total distance in first 5 seconds: s(0)=0. s(2)= 8 − 36 + 48 = 20. s(4)= 64 − 144 + 96 = 16. s(5)= 125 − 225 + 120 = 20. Motion: 0→2: moves forward to 20. 2→4: moves backward from 20 to 16 (distance 4). 4→5: moves forward from 16 to 20 (distance 4). Total distance = 20 + 4 + 4 = 28 metres.
