Section A: Straight Lines and Linear Relations (20 marks)

1. A(–2, 3), B(4, –1)

(a) Gradient of AB [ m = \frac{-1 - 3}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{-4}{6} = -\frac{2}{3} ] Answer: $-\frac{2}{3}$ [1]

(b) Midpoint of AB: $\left(\frac{-2+4}{2}, \frac{3+(-1)}{2}\right) = (1, 1)$ [1]

Gradient of perpendicular bisector: $m_{\perp} = \frac{3}{2}$ (since $m \cdot m_{\perp} = -1$) [1]

Equation: $y - 1 = \frac{3}{2}(x - 1)$ $2y - 2 = 3x - 3$ $3x - 2y - 1 = 0$ [1]

Answer: $3x - 2y - 1 = 0$ [3]

2. $L_1: 2x - 3y + 6 = 0$

(a) Gradient of $L_1$: $2x - 3y + 6 = 0 \implies 3y = 2x + 6 \implies y = \frac{2}{3}x + 2$, so $m = \frac{2}{3}$ [1]

$L_2$ is parallel, so $m = \frac{2}{3}$. Passes through P(5, 1): $y - 1 = \frac{2}{3}(x - 5)$ $3y - 3 = 2x - 10$ $2x - 3y - 7 = 0$ [1]

Answer: $2x - 3y - 7 = 0$ [2]

(b) Meets $x$-axis where $y = 0$: $2x - 3(0) - 7 = 0 \implies 2x = 7 \implies x = \frac{7}{2}$ Answer: $\left(\frac{7}{2}, 0\right)$ [1]

3. $L: y = 2x - 1$, Q$(k, 3k + 1)$

(a) Q lies on $L$: $3k + 1 = 2k - 1$ [1] $3k - 2k = -1 - 1 \implies k = -2$ [1]

Answer: $k = -2$ [2]

(b) When $k = -2$, Q = $(-2, 3(-2) + 1) = (-2, -5)$. Perpendicular distance from Q to $y$-axis is $|x\text{-coordinate}| = |-2| = 2$. Answer: 2 units [1]

4. R(1, 4), S(5, 2), T(3, –2)

(a) Gradient of RS: $\frac{2 - 4}{5 - 1} = \frac{-2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2}$ [0.5] Gradient of ST: $\frac{-2 - 2}{3 - 5} = \frac{-4}{-2} = 2$ [0.5] Product of gradients: $-\frac{1}{2} \times 2 = -1$ [0.5] Since product = –1, RS $\perp$ ST, so triangle is right-angled at S. [0.5]

Answer: Shown [2]

(b) Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{RS} \times \text{ST}$ RS = $\sqrt{(5-1)^2 + (2-4)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 4} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$ [0.5] ST = $\sqrt{(3-5)^2 + (-2-2)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$ [0.5] Area = $\frac{1}{2} \times 2\sqrt{5} \times 2\sqrt{5} = \frac{1}{2} \times 20 = 10$ [1]

Answer: 10 square units [2]

5. A(–1, 2), B(3, 6)

Answer: $y = -x + 5$ [3]

Section B: Quadratic Curves and Intersections (20 marks)

6. $C: y = x^2 - 4x + 7$

(a) $x^2 - 4x + 7 = (x^2 - 4x + 4) + 3 = (x - 2)^2 + 3$ [2] Answer: $(x - 2)^2 + 3$ [2]

(b) Minimum point: $(2, 3)$ [1] Answer: $(2, 3)$ [1]

(c) Intersection: $x^2 - 4x + 7 = 2x + k$ $x^2 - 6x + (7 - k) = 0$ [1] For no intersection, discriminant < 0: $(-6)^2 - 4(1)(7 - k) < 0$ $36 - 28 + 4k < 0$ $8 + 4k < 0$ $k < -2$ [2]

Answer: $k < -2$ [3]

7. $y = mx + 2$, $y = x^2 + 3x + c$, tangent at $x = 1$

(a) At $x = 1$, point on curve: $y = 1^2 + 3(1) + c = 4 + c$ [0.5] At $x = 1$, point on line: $y = m(1) + 2 = m + 2$ [0.5] Since they meet: $4 + c = m + 2 \implies c = m - 2$ ... (1) [0.5]

For tangency, the line and curve have equal gradients at $x = 1$: Curve gradient: $\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x + 3$, at $x = 1$: $2(1) + 3 = 5$ [0.5] Line gradient: $m$ [0.5] So $m = 5$ [0.5] From (1): $c = 5 - 2 = 3$ [0.5]

Answer: $m = 5$, $c = 3$ [4]

(b) Point of tangency: $x = 1$, $y = 5(1) + 2 = 7$ (or $y = 1^2 + 3(1) + 3 = 7$) Answer: $(1, 7)$ [1]

8. $y = 2x^2 + bx + 8$, minimum on $x$-axis

(a) Minimum on $x$-axis means the minimum value is 0 and the discriminant = 0 (since the vertex touches the $x$-axis). [1] Complete the square: $2x^2 + bx + 8 = 2\left(x^2 + \frac{b}{2}x\right) + 8 = 2\left(x + \frac{b}{4}\right)^2 - 2\left(\frac{b}{4}\right)^2 + 8$ $= 2\left(x + \frac{b}{4}\right)^2 + 8 - \frac{b^2}{8}$ [1] Minimum value = $8 - \frac{b^2}{8} = 0 \implies \frac{b^2}{8} = 8 \implies b^2 = 64 \implies b = \pm 8$ [1]

Answer: $b = 8$ or $b = -8$ [3]

(b) For $b = 8$: $y = 2x^2 + 8x + 8 = 2(x^2 + 4x) + 8 = 2(x + 2)^2 - 8 + 8 = 2(x + 2)^2$ Minimum at $(-2, 0)$. [2]

Answer: $(-2, 0)$ [2]

9. $f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c$, max value 9 at $x = 2$, $f(0) = 5$

Maximum at $x = 2$: $f(x) = a(x - 2)^2 + 9$ (since $a < 0$ for maximum) [1] $f(0) = 5$: $a(0 - 2)^2 + 9 = 5 \implies 4a + 9 = 5 \implies 4a = -4 \implies a = -1$ [1] So $f(x) = -(x - 2)^2 + 9 = -(x^2 - 4x + 4) + 9 = -x^2 + 4x - 4 + 9 = -x^2 + 4x + 5$ [1] Thus $a = -1$, $b = 4$, $c = 5$. [1]

Answer: $a = -1$, $b = 4$, $c = 5$ [4]

Section C: Circles (20 marks)

10. $C_1: x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 4y - 12 = 0$

(a) Complete the square: $(x^2 - 6x) + (y^2 + 4y) = 12$ $(x - 3)^2 - 9 + (y + 2)^2 - 4 = 12$ $(x - 3)^2 + (y + 2)^2 = 25$ [2] Centre: $(3, -2)$, radius: $\sqrt{25} = 5$ [1]

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

(b) P(7, –5). Gradient of radius CP: $\frac{-5 - (-2)}{7 - 3} = \frac{-3}{4} = -\frac{3}{4}$ [1] Gradient of tangent: $m_{\perp} = \frac{4}{3}$ [0.5] Equation: $y - (-5) = \frac{4}{3}(x - 7)$ $y + 5 = \frac{4}{3}x - \frac{28}{3}$ $3y + 15 = 4x - 28$ $4x - 3y - 43 = 0$ [1.5]

Answer: $4x - 3y - 43 = 0$ [3]

11. A(2, 1), B(6, 5), centre on $y = x - 2$

Let centre be $(a, a - 2)$. [0.5] Distance to A = distance to B: $(a - 2)^2 + (a - 2 - 1)^2 = (a - 6)^2 + (a - 2 - 5)^2$ [1] $(a - 2)^2 + (a - 3)^2 = (a - 6)^2 + (a - 7)^2$ $(a^2 - 4a + 4) + (a^2 - 6a + 9) = (a^2 - 12a + 36) + (a^2 - 14a + 49)$ $2a^2 - 10a + 13 = 2a^2 - 26a + 85$ $-10a + 13 = -26a + 85$ $16a = 72 \implies a = 4.5$ [1.5] Centre: $(4.5, 2.5)$ [0.5] Radius: $\sqrt{(4.5 - 2)^2 + (2.5 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{2.5^2 + 1.5^2} = \sqrt{6.25 + 2.25} = \sqrt{8.5}$ [1] Equation: $(x - 4.5)^2 + (y - 2.5)^2 = 8.5$ [0.5]

Answer: $(x - 4.5)^2 + (y - 2.5)^2 = 8.5$ [5]

12. Centre (3, –1), radius 5

(a) $(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 25$ [1] Answer: $(x - 3)^2 + (y + 1)^2 = 25$ [1]

(b) Meets $x$-axis: $y = 0$ $(x - 3)^2 + (0 + 1)^2 = 25$ $(x - 3)^2 + 1 = 25$ $(x - 3)^2 = 24$ $x - 3 = \pm \sqrt{24} = \pm 2\sqrt{6}$ $x = 3 \pm 2\sqrt{6}$ [2] Points: $(3 + 2\sqrt{6}, 0)$ and $(3 - 2\sqrt{6}, 0)$ [1]

Answer: $(3 + 2\sqrt{6}, 0)$ and $(3 - 2\sqrt{6}, 0)$ [3]

(c) Distance from (8, 2) to centre (3, –1): $\sqrt{(8 - 3)^2 + (2 - (-1))^2} = \sqrt{25 + 9} = \sqrt{34}$ [1] Since $\sqrt{34} \approx 5.83 > 5$, the point lies outside the circle. [1]

Answer: Outside the circle (distance $\sqrt{34} > 5$) [2]

13. $x^2 + y^2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0$, passes through origin, centre on $x + y = 0$, radius $\sqrt{8}$

Centre: $(-g, -f)$. On $x + y = 0$: $-g - f = 0 \implies f = -g$ [1] Passes through (0, 0): $0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + c = 0 \implies c = 0$ [0.5] Radius: $\sqrt{g^2 + f^2 - c} = \sqrt{g^2 + (-g)^2 - 0} = \sqrt{2g^2} = \sqrt{8}$ [1] $2g^2 = 8 \implies g^2 = 4 \implies g = \pm 2$ [0.5] If $g = 2$, $f = -2$: equation $x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 4y = 0$ [0.5] If $g = -2$, $f = 2$: equation $x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 4y = 0$ [0.5]

Answer: $x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 4y = 0$ and $x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 4y = 0$ [4]

Section D: Coordinate Geometry Applications (20 marks)

14. $y = ax^n$

(a) Take logarithms (any base): $\log y = \log a + n \log x$ [1] Plot $\log y$ against $\log x$. [0.5] The gradient is $n$ and the vertical intercept is $\log a$. [1.5]

Answer: Plot $\log y$ vs $\log x$; gradient = $n$, intercept = $\log a$ [3]

(b) Compute $\log x$ and $\log y$ (using base 10 or natural log):

[1 for correct computation]

Plotting $\log y$ vs $\log x$ gives a straight line. [0.5] Gradient $n$: Using points (0.301, 0.505) and (1.000, 1.903): $n = \frac{1.903 - 0.505}{1.000 - 0.301} = \frac{1.398}{0.699} \approx 2.00$ [1] Intercept $\log a$: Using $\log y = n\log x + \log a$ with point (0.301, 0.505): $0.505 = 2(0.301) + \log a \implies \log a = 0.505 - 0.602 = -0.097$ $a = 10^{-0.097} \approx 0.80$ [1.5]

Answer: $n \approx 2$, $a \approx 0.80$ [4]

15. $y = \frac{4}{x - 2}$, $x > 2$

(a) Vertical asymptote: denominator = 0 $\implies x = 2$ [1] Answer: $x = 2$ [1]

(b) As $x \to \infty$, $y \to 0$. Horizontal asymptote: $y = 0$ [1] Answer: $y = 0$ [1]

(c) Intersection: $\frac{4}{x - 2} = x + k$ $4 = (x + k)(x - 2) = x^2 - 2x + kx - 2k$ $x^2 + (k - 2)x - 2k - 4 = 0$ [1] For two distinct points, discriminant > 0: $(k - 2)^2 - 4(1)(-2k - 4) > 0$ $k^2 - 4k + 4 + 8k + 16 > 0$ $k^2 + 4k + 20 > 0$ [1] Discriminant of this quadratic: $4^2 - 4(1)(20) = 16 - 80 = -64 < 0$ [0.5] Since coefficient of $k^2$ is positive and discriminant < 0, $k^2 + 4k + 20 > 0$ for all real $k$. [1] But also need $x > 2$ for domain. Check: solutions of quadratic are $x = \frac{-(k-2) \pm \sqrt{k^2 + 4k + 20}}{2}$. For $x > 2$, we need the larger root > 2. Since the quadratic in $k$ is always positive, both roots are real. The larger root is $\frac{2 - k + \sqrt{k^2 + 4k + 20}}{2} > 2$ for all $k$ (can be verified). So $k$ can be any real number. [0.5]

Answer: All real values of $k$ [4]

16. P(–3, 1), Q(1, 5), R(5, 1)

(a) PQ = $\sqrt{(1 - (-3))^2 + (5 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 16} = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}$ [1] QR = $\sqrt{(5 - 1)^2 + (1 - 5)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 16} = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}$ [0.5] Thus PQ = QR. [0.5]

Answer: Shown [2]

(b) Area of triangle PQR: Using coordinates: $\frac{1}{2}|x_1(y_2 - y_3) + x_2(y_3 - y_1) + x_3(y_1 - y_2)|$ $= \frac{1}{2}|(-3)(5 - 1) + 1(1 - 1) + 5(1 - 5)|$ $= \frac{1}{2}|(-3)(4) + 0 + 5(-4)| = \frac{1}{2}|-12 - 20| = \frac{1}{2}(32) = 16$ [2]

Answer: 16 square units [2]

(c) For rhombus PQRS, diagonals bisect each other. Midpoint of PR: $\left(\frac{-3+5}{2}, \frac{1+1}{2}\right) = (1, 1)$ [0.5] Midpoint of QS must also be (1, 1). Let S = $(x, y)$: $\frac{1 + x}{2} = 1 \implies x = 1$; $\frac{5 + y}{2} = 1 \implies y = -3$ [1] So S = $(1, -3)$. [0.5]

Answer: $(1, -3)$ [2]

17. $L: 3x + 4y = 24$

(a) Meets $x$-axis (A): $y = 0 \implies 3x = 24 \implies x = 8$. A = $(8, 0)$ [0.5] Meets $y$-axis (B): $x = 0 \implies 4y = 24 \implies y = 6$. B = $(0, 6)$ [0.5] Answer: A$(8, 0)$, B$(0, 6)$ [2]

(b) Area of triangle OAB = $\frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 6 = 24$ [1] Answer: 24 square units [1]

(c) AB is diameter. Centre = midpoint of AB = $\left(\frac{8+0}{2}, \frac{0+6}{2}\right) = (4, 3)$ [1] Radius = half of AB = $\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{(8-0)^2 + (0-6)^2} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{64 + 36} = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{100} = 5$ [1] Equation: $(x - 4)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25$ [1]

Answer: $(x - 4)^2 + (y - 3)^2 = 25$ [3]

18. $y = x^2 - 2x - 3$, $y = x + 1$

(a) Intersection: $x^2 - 2x - 3 = x + 1$ $x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0$ $(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0$ [1] $x = 4$ or $x = -1$ [0.5] When $x = 4$: $y = 4 + 1 = 5$. P or Q = $(4, 5)$ [0.5] When $x = -1$: $y = -1 + 1 = 0$. Q or P = $(-1, 0)$ [0.5] Answer: $(-1, 0)$ and $(4, 5)$ [3]

(b) Length PQ = $\sqrt{(4 - (-1))^2 + (5 - 0)^2} = \sqrt{25 + 25} = \sqrt{50} = 5\sqrt{2}$ [2] Answer: $5\sqrt{2}$ units [2]

(c) Midpoint of PQ: $\left(\frac{-1+4}{2}, \frac{0+5}{2}\right) = (1.5, 2.5)$ [0.5] Gradient of PQ: $\frac{5 - 0}{4 - (-1)} = \frac{5}{5} = 1$ [0.5] Gradient of perpendicular bisector: $-1$ [0.5] Equation: $y - 2.5 = -1(x - 1.5)$ $y - 2.5 = -x + 1.5$ $y = -x + 4$ [0.5]

Answer: $y = -x + 4$ [2]

19. $y = \frac{2x + 1}{x - 1}$

(a) $\frac{2x + 1}{x - 1} = \frac{2(x - 1) + 3}{x - 1} = 2 + \frac{3}{x - 1}$ [2] Answer: $2 + \frac{3}{x - 1}$ [2]

(b) Vertical asymptote: $x = 1$ (denominator = 0) [1] Horizontal asymptote: as $x \to \pm\infty$, $\frac{3}{x-1} \to 0$, so $y \to 2$. Asymptote: $y = 2$ [1] Answer: $x = 1$, $y = 2$ [2]

(c) Meets $y$-axis ($x = 0$): $y = \frac{2(0) + 1}{0 - 1} = \frac{1}{-1} = -1$. Point: $(0, -1)$ [1] Meets $x$-axis ($y = 0$): $0 = \frac{2x + 1}{x - 1} \implies 2x + 1 = 0 \implies x = -\frac{1}{2}$. Point: $\left(-\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)$ [1] Answer: $(0, -1)$ and $\left(-\frac{1}{2}, 0\right)$ [2]

20. A(–2, 1), B(4, 3), C(6, –1), D(0, –3)

(a) For parallelogram, opposite sides are parallel (equal gradients): Gradient of AB: $\frac{3 - 1}{4 - (-2)} = \frac{2}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$ [0.5] Gradient of DC: $\frac{-3 - (-1)}{0 - 6} = \frac{-2}{-6} = \frac{1}{3}$ [0.5] So AB $\parallel$ DC. Gradient of BC: $\frac{-1 - 3}{6 - 4} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2$ [0.5] Gradient of AD: $\frac{-3 - 1}{0 - (-2)} = \frac{-4}{2} = -2$ [0.5] So BC $\parallel$ AD. Thus ABCD is a parallelogram.

Answer: Shown [2]

(b) Intersection of diagonals is midpoint of both AC and BD. Midpoint of AC: $\left(\frac{-2+6}{2}, \frac{1+(-1)}{2}\right) = (2, 0)$ [1] (Check with BD: $\left(\frac{4+0}{2}, \frac{3+(-3)}{2}\right) = (2, 0)$) [1]

Answer: $(2, 0)$ [2]

(c) For rhombus, all sides equal (or diagonals perpendicular). AB = $\sqrt{(4 - (-2))^2 + (3 - 1)^2} = \sqrt{36 + 4} = \sqrt{40} = 2\sqrt{10}$ [0.5] BC = $\sqrt{(6 - 4)^2 + (-1 - 3)^2} = \sqrt{4 + 16} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}$ [0.5] Since AB $\neq$ BC, ABCD is not a rhombus. [1]

Answer: Not a rhombus; adjacent sides have different lengths ($2\sqrt{10} \neq 2\sqrt{5}$) [2]
