Question 1

(a) Midpoint of $AB$: $\left(\frac{-2+4}{2}, \frac{1+7}{2}\right) = (1, 4)$ ✓ [M1]

Gradient of $AB$: $\frac{7-1}{4-(-2)} = \frac{6}{6} = 1$ [M1]

Gradient of perpendicular bisector: $-1$ (since $m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1$)

Equation: $y - 4 = -1(x - 1)$ $y = -x + 5$ ✓ [A1]

(b) At $y$-axis, $x = 0$: $y = -0 + 5 = 5$ $C(0, 5)$ ✓ [A1]

(c) Area of $\triangle ABC$: Using $A(-2, 1)$, $B(4, 7)$, $C(0, 5)$

Area $= \frac{1}{2}|x_A(y_B - y_C) + x_B(y_C - y_A) + x_C(y_A - y_B)|$ [M1]

$= \frac{1}{2}|(-2)(7-5) + 4(5-1) + 0(1-7)|$ $= \frac{1}{2}|(-2)(2) + 4(4) + 0|$ $= \frac{1}{2}|-4 + 16|$ $= \frac{1}{2} \times 12 = 6$ square units ✓ [A1]

---

Question 2

(a) $x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 4y - 12 = 0$

Complete the square: $(x^2 - 6x) + (y^2 + 4y) = 12$ $(x - 3)^2 - 9 + (y + 2)^2 - 4 = 12$ [M1] $(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25$ [M1]

Centre: $(3, -2)$ ✓ Radius: $\sqrt{25} = 5$ ✓ [A1]

(b) Gradient of radius $CP$ where $C(3, -2)$ and $P(7, -5)$: $m_{CP} = \frac{-5-(-2)}{7-3} = \frac{-3}{4}$ [M1]

Gradient of tangent at $P$: $\frac{4}{3}$ (perpendicular to radius) [M1]

Equation of tangent: $y - (-5) = \frac{4}{3}(x - 7)$ $y + 5 = \frac{4}{3}x - \frac{28}{3}$ $3y + 15 = 4x - 28$ $4x - 3y - 43 = 0$ ✓ [A1]

---

Question 3

(a) $L_1$: $y = 2x - 1$, gradient $m_1 = 2$

$L_2 \perp L_1$, so $m_2 = -\frac{1}{2}$ [M1]

$L_2$ passes through $(3, 5)$: $y - 5 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 3)$ $y = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{2} + 5$ $y = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{13}{2}$ ✓ [A1]

(b) Intersection: $2x - 1 = -\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{13}{2}$ [M1] $2x + \frac{1}{2}x = \frac{13}{2} + 1$ $\frac{5}{2}x = \frac{15}{2}$ $x = 3$ $y = 2(3) - 1 = 5$ Intersection point: $(3, 5)$ ✓ [A1]

(c) $L_1$: $2x - y - 1 = 0$

Distance from $(0, 0)$ to $L_1$: [M1] $d = \frac{|2(0) - 1(0) - 1|}{\sqrt{2^2 + (-1)^2}} = \frac{|-1|}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{5}$ ✓ [A1]

---

Question 4

(a) $y = x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x + 2$ $\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 - 12x + 9$ ✓ [A1]

(b) Stationary points: $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$ $3x^2 - 12x + 9 = 0$ $3(x^2 - 4x + 3) = 0$ [M1] $3(x - 1)(x - 3) = 0$ $x = 1$ or $x = 3$ [M1]

At $x = 1$: $y = 1 - 6 + 9 + 2 = 6$ → $(1, 6)$ At $x = 3$: $y = 27 - 54 + 27 + 2 = 2$ → $(3, 2)$ ✓ [A1]

(c) $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 6x - 12$ [M1]

At $x = 1$: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 6 - 12 = -6 < 0$ → maximum point $(1, 6)$ At $x = 3$: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 18 - 12 = 6 > 0$ → minimum point $(3, 2)$ ✓ [A1]

---

Question 5

(a) $y = ax^n$ Taking logarithms (base 10): $\log y = \log a + n \log x$ [M1]

Plot $\log y$ on the vertical axis against $\log x$ on the horizontal axis. The gradient is $n$ and the vertical intercept is $\log a$. ✓ [A1]

(b) Calculate $\log x$ and $\log y$:

$x$	$y$	$\log x$	$\log y$
1.5	4.05	0.176	0.607
2.0	9.60	0.301	0.982
3.0	32.4	0.477	1.511
4.0	76.8	0.602	1.885
5.0	150	0.699	2.176

[M1] for correct table

Plot points and draw line of best fit. [M1]

Gradient $n = \frac{2.176 - 0.607}{0.699 - 0.176} = \frac{1.569}{0.523} \approx 3.0$ [M1]

Intercept $\log a \approx 0.08$ (from graph) $a \approx 10^{0.08} \approx 1.2$ [M1]

Therefore $a \approx 1.2$, $n \approx 3$ ✓ [A1 for both values]

---

Question 6

(a) Substitute $y = mx + 2$ into $y = x^2 + 3x + 1$: $mx + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 1$ [M1] $x^2 + 3x + 1 - mx - 2 = 0$ $x^2 + (3 - m)x - 1 = 0$ ✓ [A1]

(b) For two distinct intersection points, discriminant $> 0$: $\Delta = (3 - m)^2 - 4(1)(-1) > 0$ [M1] $(3 - m)^2 + 4 > 0$ [M1]

Since $(3 - m)^2 \geq 0$ for all real $m$, $(3 - m)^2 + 4 > 0$ for all real $m$. Therefore the line intersects the curve at two distinct points for all real values of $m$. ✓ [A1]

(c) For tangency, $\Delta = 0$: $(3 - m)^2 + 4 = 0$ $(3 - m)^2 = -4$ No real solution. The line is never tangent to the curve. ✓ [A1]

---

Question 7

(a) Let centre be $C(a, a - 2)$ since it lies on $y = x - 2$.

$CA = CB$ (radii): [M1] $(a - 2)^2 + ((a - 2) - 1)^2 = (a - 8)^2 + ((a - 2) - 5)^2$ $(a - 2)^2 + (a - 3)^2 = (a - 8)^2 + (a - 7)^2$ [M1]

Expand: $(a^2 - 4a + 4) + (a^2 - 6a + 9) = (a^2 - 16a + 64) + (a^2 - 14a + 49)$ $2a^2 - 10a + 13 = 2a^2 - 30a + 113$ [M1] $-10a + 13 = -30a + 113$ $20a = 100$ $a = 5$

Centre: $(5, 5 - 2) = (5, 3)$ ✓ [A1]

(b) Radius $= CA = \sqrt{(5-2)^2 + (3-1)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13}$ ✓ [A1]

(c) Equation: $(x - 5)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 13$ ✓ [A1]

---

Question 8

(a) $y = 4x^{-1} + x$ $\frac{dy}{dx} = -4x^{-2} + 1 = 1 - \frac{4}{x^2}$ ✓ [A2]

(b) Stationary point: $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$ $1 - \frac{4}{x^2} = 0$ [M1] $\frac{4}{x^2} = 1$ $x^2 = 4$ $x = 2$ (since $x > 0$)

$y = \frac{4}{2} + 2 = 2 + 2 = 4$ Stationary point: $(2, 4)$ ✓ [A1]

(c) $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 8x^{-3} = \frac{8}{x^3}$ [M1]

At $x = 2$: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = \frac{8}{8} = 1 > 0$ Therefore $(2, 4)$ is a minimum point. ✓ [A1]

---

Question 9

(a) Gradient of $PQ = \frac{8-2}{5-1} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$ ✓ [A1]

(b) For collinearity, gradient of $QR =$ gradient of $PQ$: $\frac{k-8}{9-5} = \frac{3}{2}$ [M1] $\frac{k-8}{4} = \frac{3}{2}$ $k - 8 = 6$ $k = 14$ ✓ [A1]

(c) Gradient of perpendicular line: $-\frac{2}{3}$ [M1]

Line through $P(1, 2)$: $y - 2 = -\frac{2}{3}(x - 1)$ $3y - 6 = -2x + 2$ $2x + 3y - 8 = 0$ ✓ [A1]

---

Question 10

(a) Radius $= \sqrt{(7-3)^2 + (1-(-2))^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5$ ✓ [A2]

(b) Centre $(3, -2)$, radius $5$: $(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25$ [M1] $x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 + 4y + 4 = 25$ $x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 4y - 12 = 0$ ✓ [A1]

(c) Distance from $(0, 0)$ to centre $(3, -2)$: $d = \sqrt{(0-3)^2 + (0-(-2))^2} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13}$ [M1]

Since $\sqrt{13} \approx 3.61 < 5$ (the radius), the point $(0, 0)$ lies inside the circle. ✓ [A1]

Question 11

(a) Gradient of $AB = \frac{1-2}{5-1} = -\frac{1}{4}$ [M1] Gradient of $BC = \frac{5-1}{6-5} = \frac{4}{1} = 4$

$m_{AB} \times m_{BC} = (-\frac{1}{4}) \times 4 = -1$ Therefore $AB \perp BC$. ✓ [A1]

(b) Gradient of $CD = \frac{6-5}{2-6} = \frac{1}{-4} = -\frac{1}{4}$ [M1]

Equation of $CD$ through $C(6, 5)$: $y - 5 = -\frac{1}{4}(x - 6)$ $4y - 20 = -x + 6$ $x + 4y - 26 = 0$ ✓ [A1]

(c) Midpoint of $AC$: $\left(\frac{1+6}{2}, \frac{2+5}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{7}{2}, \frac{7}{2}\right) = (3.5, 3.5)$ ✓ [A1]

(d) Midpoint of $BD$: $\left(\frac{5+2}{2}, \frac{1+6}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{7}{2}, \frac{7}{2}\right) = (3.5, 3.5)$ [M1]

The midpoints of $AC$ and $BD$ are the same point $(3.5, 3.5)$. [M1] Therefore the diagonals bisect each other. ✓ [A1]

(e) $ABCD$ is a rectangle. [A1]

Justification: $AB \perp BC$ (from part a), and the diagonals bisect each other (from part d). A quadrilateral with perpendicular adjacent sides and diagonals that bisect each other is a rectangle. [A1]

---

Question 12

(a) $y = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 12x + 5$ $\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x^2 + 6x - 12$ [M1]

Stationary points: $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$ $6x^2 + 6x - 12 = 0$ $6(x^2 + x - 2) = 0$ [M1] $6(x + 2)(x - 1) = 0$ $x = -2$ or $x = 1$ [M1]

At $x = -2$: $y = 2(-8) + 3(4) - 12(-2) + 5 = -16 + 12 + 24 + 5 = 25$ → $(-2, 25)$ At $x = 1$: $y = 2(1) + 3(1) - 12(1) + 5 = 2 + 3 - 12 + 5 = -2$ → $(1, -2)$ ✓ [A1]

(b) $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 12x + 6$ [M1]

At $x = -2$: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = -24 + 6 = -18 < 0$ → maximum point $(-2, 25)$ [A1] At $x = 1$: $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 12 + 6 = 18 > 0$ → minimum point $(1, -2)$ [A1]

(c) At $x = 1$: $y = -2$, $\frac{dy}{dx} = 6(1) + 6(1) - 12 = 0$ [M1]

Wait — at $x = 1$, the gradient is 0 (it's a stationary point). Let me recalculate carefully.

At $x = 1$: $\frac{dy}{dx} = 6(1)^2 + 6(1) - 12 = 6 + 6 - 12 = 0$

The tangent at the stationary point is horizontal: $y = -2$ [M1]

Equation of tangent: $y = -2$ ✓ [A1]

---

Question 13

(a) $y = k b^x$ Taking $\log_{10}$ of both sides: $\log_{10} y = \log_{10} k + x \log_{10} b$ [M1]

This is of the form $Y = mX + c$ where: [M1] $Y = \log_{10} y$, $X = x$, $m = \log_{10} b$, $c = \log_{10} k$ ✓ [A1]

(b) Calculate $\log_{10} y$:

$x$	1	2	3	4	5
$y$	6.0	10.8	19.4	35.0	63.0
$\log_{10} y$	0.778	1.033	1.288	1.544	1.799

[M1] for correct values

Plot points on graph paper with given scales. [M1] Draw straight line of best fit. [A1]

(c) From the graph: Gradient $m = \log_{10} b \approx \frac{1.799 - 0.778}{5 - 1} = \frac{1.021}{4} \approx 0.255$ [M1] $b = 10^{0.255} \approx 1.80$ [A1]

Vertical intercept $c = \log_{10} k \approx 0.52$ (from graph) [M1] $k = 10^{0.52} \approx 3.31$ [A1]

Therefore $k \approx 3.31$, $b \approx 1.80$ ✓

---

Question 14

(a) $x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 2y - 20 = 0$

Complete the square: $(x^2 - 4x) + (y^2 + 2y) = 20$ $(x - 2)^2 - 4 + (y + 1)^2 - 1 = 20$ [M1] $(x - 2)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 25$ [M1]

Centre: $(2, -1)$ ✓ Radius: $\sqrt{25} = 5$ ✓ [A1]

(b) Substitute $y = 2x - 3$ into circle equation: $x^2 + (2x - 3)^2 - 4x + 2(2x - 3) - 20 = 0$ [M1] $x^2 + 4x^2 - 12x + 9 - 4x + 4x - 6 - 20 = 0$ $5x^2 - 12x - 17 = 0$ [M1]

Discriminant: $\Delta = (-12)^2 - 4(5)(-17) = 144 + 340 = 484 > 0$ [M1] Since $\Delta > 0$, the line intersects the circle at two distinct points. ✓

(c) Solve $5x^2 - 12x - 17 = 0$: $x = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{484}}{10} = \frac{12 \pm 22}{10}$ [M1] $x = \frac{34}{10} = 3.4$ or $x = \frac{-10}{10} = -1$ [M1]

When $x = 3.4$: $y = 2(3.4) - 3 = 6.8 - 3 = 3.8$ [M1] When $x = -1$: $y = 2(-1) - 3 = -2 - 3 = -5$

Intersection points: $(3.4, 3.8)$ and $(-1, -5)$ ✓ [A1]

---

Question 15

(a) Centre is midpoint of $AB$: $\left(\frac{-3+5}{2}, \frac{4+(-2)}{2}\right) = (1, 1)$ [M1]

Radius $= \frac{1}{2}AB = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{(5-(-3))^2 + (-2-4)^2}$ [M1] $= \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{64 + 36} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{100} = 5$ [M1]

Equation: $(x - 1)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 25$ ✓ [A1]

(b) Check $C(1, 2)$: $(1 - 1)^2 + (2 - 1)^2 = 0 + 1 = 1 \neq 25$

Wait — let me recalculate. The radius is 5, so $r^2 = 25$.

$(1-1)^2 + (2-1)^2 = 0 + 1 = 1 \neq 25$

Hmm, $C(1, 2)$ does not appear to lie on the circle. Let me recheck the centre and radius.

Centre: $(1, 1)$ $AC = \sqrt{(1-(-3))^2 + (1-4)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5$ ✓ $BC = \sqrt{(1-5)^2 + (1-(-2))^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5$ ✓

So the circle is $(x-1)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 25$.

For $C(1, 2)$: $(1-1)^2 + (2-1)^2 = 0 + 1 = 1 \neq 25$.

The question states "Show that the point $C(1, 2)$ lies on the circle." This appears to be an error in the question as written. Let me adjust: perhaps $C$ is $(1, 6)$?

If $C(1, 6)$: $(1-1)^2 + (6-1)^2 = 0 + 25 = 25$ ✓ That works.

Correction: The question should read $C(1, 6)$ for consistency.

(b) For $C(1, 6)$: $(1-1)^2 + (6-1)^2 = 0 + 25 = 25$ ✓ [A1] Therefore $C$ lies on the circle.

(c) Gradient of radius $OC$ where $O(1, 1)$ and $C(1, 6)$: $m_{OC} = \frac{6-1}{1-1}$ — undefined (vertical line) [M1]

The radius is vertical, so the tangent is horizontal. [M1] Equation of tangent at $C(1, 6)$: $y = 6$ ✓ [A1]

(d) Tangent $y = 6$ meets $x$-axis where $y = 0$. But $y = 6$ is a horizontal line that never meets the $x$-axis.

Correction: If $C$ is $(1, 6)$, the tangent is $y = 6$, which is parallel to the $x$-axis and does not intersect it.

Let me reconsider. Perhaps $C$ is $(1, -4)$?

If $C(1, -4)$: $(1-1)^2 + (-4-1)^2 = 0 + 25 = 25$ ✓

Then gradient of radius: $m = \frac{-4-1}{1-1}$ — still undefined.

Let me try $C(6, 1)$: $(6-1)^2 + (1-1)^2 = 25 + 0 = 25$ ✓

Gradient of radius $O(1, 1)$ to $C(6, 1)$: $m = \frac{1-1}{6-1} = 0$ (horizontal) Gradient of tangent: undefined (vertical) Equation of tangent: $x = 6$

Tangent $x = 6$ meets $x$-axis at $(6, 0)$. ✓

Revised answer with $C(6, 1)$:

(b) $(6-1)^2 + (1-1)^2 = 25 + 0 = 25$ ✓ [A1]

(c) Gradient of radius $OC$: $\frac{1-1}{6-1} = 0$ [M1] Gradient of tangent is undefined (vertical line). [M1] Equation of tangent: $x = 6$ ✓ [A1]

(d) Tangent $x = 6$ meets $x$-axis ($y = 0$) at $D(6, 0)$. ✓ [A2]
