1. (a) Gradient of $AB$: $m = \frac{-3 - 5}{8 - 2} = \frac{-8}{6} = -\frac{4}{3}$ [M1] Correct substitution into gradient formula [A1] $m = -\frac{4}{3}$

(b) Using point $A(2, 5)$: $y - 5 = -\frac{4}{3}(x - 2)$ $3y - 15 = -4x + 8$ $4x + 3y - 23 = 0$ [M1] Correct use of point-gradient form [A1] $4x + 3y - 23 = 0$

(c) At $x$-axis, $y = 0$: $4x + 3(0) - 23 = 0 \implies 4x = 23 \implies x = \frac{23}{4}$ Coordinates of $C$ are $\left(\frac{23}{4}, 0\right)$ or $(5.75, 0)$. [M1] Setting $y = 0$ and solving [A1] $\left(\frac{23}{4}, 0\right)$

2. (a) Line $2x - 5y + 10 = 0$: $5y = 2x + 10 \implies y = \frac{2}{5}x + 2$ Gradient of given line is $\frac{2}{5}$. For perpendicular lines, $m_1 \cdot m_2 = -1$: $m_{L_1} = -\frac{5}{2}$ [M1] Finding gradient of given line and using perpendicular condition [A1] $m_{L_1} = -\frac{5}{2}$

(b) Using $P(3, -1)$: $y - (-1) = -\frac{5}{2}(x - 3)$ $y + 1 = -\frac{5}{2}x + \frac{15}{2}$ $y = -\frac{5}{2}x + \frac{13}{2}$ [M1] Correct substitution [A1] $y = -\frac{5}{2}x + \frac{13}{2}$

3. (a) $3x + 4y = 24 \implies 4y = -3x + 24 \implies y = -\frac{3}{4}x + 6$ Gradient of $L_2$ is $-\frac{3}{4}$. Since $L_3 \parallel L_2$, gradient of $L_3 = -\frac{3}{4}$. [A1] $-\frac{3}{4}$

(b) Using $Q(-2, 5)$: $y - 5 = -\frac{3}{4}(x - (-2))$ $y - 5 = -\frac{3}{4}(x + 2)$ $4y - 20 = -3x - 6$ $3x + 4y - 14 = 0$ [M1] Correct substitution [A1] $3x + 4y - 14 = 0$ or $y = -\frac{3}{4}x + \frac{7}{2}$

(c) Perpendicular distance from $(0, 0)$ to $3x + 4y - 24 = 0$: $d = \frac{|3(0) + 4(0) - 24|}{\sqrt{3^2 + 4^2}} = \frac{24}{5} = 4.8$ [M1] Correct formula [M1] Correct substitution [A1] $4.8$ units

4. (a) $DE = \sqrt{(5 - 1)^2 + (6 - 2)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 16} = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}$ $EF = \sqrt{(9 - 5)^2 + (2 - 6)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 16} = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}$ Therefore $DE = EF$. [M1] Correct distance calculations [A1] Both equal $4\sqrt{2}$, shown

Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 4 = 16$ square units. [M1] Identifying height and base [A1] $16$ square units

5. Substitute $y = 2x + k$ into $y = x^2 - 3x + 1$: $2x + k = x^2 - 3x + 1$ $x^2 - 5x + (1 - k) = 0$ For two distinct intersection points, discriminant $\Delta > 0$: $\Delta = (-5)^2 - 4(1)(1 - k) = 25 - 4 + 4k = 21 + 4k$ $21 + 4k > 0 \implies 4k > -21 \implies k > -\frac{21}{4}$ [M1] Substituting and forming quadratic [M1] Computing discriminant [M1] Setting $\Delta > 0$ [A1] $k > -\frac{21}{4}$ or $k > -5.25$

6. (a) Taking logarithms (base 10 or natural): $y = ab^x \implies \log y = \log a + x \log b$ Plot $\log y$ on the vertical axis against $x$ on the horizontal axis. The graph should be a straight line with gradient $\log b$ and vertical intercept $\log a$. [A1] Correct transformation stated [A1] Correct axes identified

(b) Using $\log y = \log a + x \log b$: Let $Y = \log y$. Compute $\log y$ values:

Gradient $\log b \approx \frac{1.799 - 0.778}{5 - 1} = \frac{1.021}{4} \approx 0.2553$ $b \approx 10^{0.2553} \approx 1.80$

(b) Distance from $P(5, 1)$ to centre $(3, -2)$: $d = \sqrt{(5 - 3)^2 + (1 - (-2))^2} = \sqrt{4 + 9} = \sqrt{13} \approx 3.61$ Since $\sqrt{13} < 5$, point $P$ lies inside the circle. [M1] Computing distance [A1] Inside, with correct reasoning

8. Let centre be $(a, a - 2)$ (since centre lies on $y = x - 2$). Distance from centre to $A(2, 1)$ equals distance to $B(8, 1)$: $(a - 2)^2 + (a - 2 - 1)^2 = (a - 8)^2 + (a - 2 - 1)^2$ $(a - 2)^2 = (a - 8)^2$ $a^2 - 4a + 4 = a^2 - 16a + 64$ $12a = 60 \implies a = 5$ Centre: $(5, 3)$ Radius: $\sqrt{(5 - 2)^2 + (3 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 4} = \sqrt{13}$ Equation: $(x - 5)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 13$ [M1] Letting centre be $(a, a - 2)$ [M1] Equating distances [M1] Solving for $a$ [M1] Finding radius [A1] $(x - 5)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 13$

(b) $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$: $3x^2 - 12x + 9 = 0 \implies x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0 \implies (x - 1)(x - 3) = 0$ $x = 1$ or $x = 3$ At $x = 1$: $y = 1 - 6 + 9 + 2 = 6$ → $(1, 6)$ At $x = 3$: $y = 27 - 54 + 27 + 2 = 2$ → $(3, 2)$ [M1] Setting $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$ [M1] Solving quadratic [A1] $(1, 6)$ and $(3, 2)$

14. (a) $y = 4x^{-1} + x$ $\frac{dy}{dx} = -4x^{-2} + 1 = 1 - \frac{4}{x^2}$ [M1] Correct differentiation of $4x^{-1}$ [A1] $1 - \frac{4}{x^2}$

(b) $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$: $1 - \frac{4}{x^2} = 0 \implies \frac{4}{x^2} = 1 \implies x^2 = 4 \implies x = 2$ (since $x > 0$) At $x = 2$: $y = \frac{4}{2} + 2 = 4$ Stationary point: $(2, 4)$ [M1] Solving $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$ [A1] $(2, 4)$

Gradient $q \approx \frac{2.150 - 0.748}{1.000 - 0.301} = \frac{1.402}{0.699} \approx 2.01 \approx 2$

Intercept $\log p \approx 0.748 - 2(0.301) = 0.748 - 0.602 = 0.146$ $p \approx 10^{0.146} \approx 1.40$

(b) For tangency, discriminant $= 0$: $(3 - m)^2 - 4(1)(-1) = 0$ $(3 - m)^2 + 4 = 0$ $(3 - m)^2 = -4$ No real solutions. Therefore there is no real value of $m$ for which the line is a tangent. [M1] Computing discriminant [M1] Setting $\Delta = 0$ [A1] No real values of $m$ (or equivalent conclusion)

17. (a) $y = \frac{2x + 1}{x - 1}$ Crosses $y$-axis ($x = 0$): $y = \frac{1}{-1} = -1$ → $(0, -1)$ Crosses $x$-axis ($y = 0$): $2x + 1 = 0 \implies x = -\frac{1}{2}$ → $\left(-\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)$ [A1] $(0, -1)$ [A1] $\left(-\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)$

(b) $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(x - 1)(2) - (2x + 1)(1)}{(x - 1)^2} = \frac{2x - 2 - 2x - 1}{(x - 1)^2} = \frac{-3}{(x - 1)^2}$ Since $(x - 1)^2 > 0$ for all $x \neq 1$, $\frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3}{(x - 1)^2} < 0$ for all $x \neq 1$. Therefore $\frac{dy}{dx} \neq 0$ for any $x$, so the curve has no stationary points. [M1] Correct differentiation using quotient rule [M1] Simplifying correctly [A1] Concluding no stationary points with valid reasoning

18. Substitute $y = 2x + k$ into $y = x^2 - 4x + 7$: $2x + k = x^2 - 4x + 7$ $x^2 - 6x + (7 - k) = 0$ For two distinct intersection points, $\Delta > 0$: $(-6)^2 - 4(1)(7 - k) > 0$ $36 - 28 + 4k > 0$ $4k > -8$ $k > -2$ [M1] Substituting and forming quadratic [M1] Computing discriminant [M1] Setting $\Delta > 0$ [A1] $k > -2$

(b) Gradient of normal $= -1$ (negative reciprocal of tangent gradient) Equation of normal: $y - 1 = -1(x - 3) \implies y = -x + 4$ [M1] Finding normal gradient [A1] $y = -x + 4$

20. (a) $s = t^3 - 6t^2 + 9t + 4$ $v = \frac{ds}{dt} = 3t^2 - 12t + 9$ $a = \frac{dv}{dt} = 6t - 12$ [A1] $v = 3t^2 - 12t + 9$ [A1] $a = 6t - 12$

(b) Instantaneously at rest when $v = 0$: $3t^2 - 12t + 9 = 0 \implies t^2 - 4t + 3 = 0 \implies (t - 1)(t - 3) = 0$ $t = 1$ or $t = 3$ [M1] Setting $v = 0$ and solving [A1] $t = 1$ and $t = 3$

(c) At $t = 1$: $a = 6(1) - 12 = -6$ m/s² At $t = 3$: $a = 6(3) - 12 = 6$ m/s² [M1] Substituting $t$ values into acceleration [A1] $-6$ m/s² at $t = 1$; $6$ m/s² at $t = 3$
