Section A

Question 1 [3 marks]

Method:

• The midpoint of $AB$ is $\left(\frac{-2+4}{2}, \frac{5+(-1)}{2}\right) = (1, 2)$
• Gradient of $AB$: $m_{AB} = \frac{-1-5}{4-(-2)} = \frac{-6}{6} = -1$
• Gradient of perpendicular bisector: $m = 1$ (since $m_1 \times m_2 = -1$)

Working: Using point-slope form with point $(1, 2)$ and gradient $1$: $y - 2 = 1(x - 1)$ $y - 2 = x - 1$ $x - y + 1 = 0$

Answer: $x - y + 1 = 0$ (or equivalent integer form)

Marking notes: [1] midpoint, [1] perpendicular gradient, [1] final equation

---

Question 2 [4 marks]

Method: Solve simultaneously by substitution. Substitute the linear equation into the quadratic.

Working: $x^2 - 2x - 3 = 2(3x - 6) \text{ wait, let me re-read: } 3x - 2y + 6 = 0$

From line: $2y = 3x + 6$, so $y = \frac{3x+6}{2} = \frac{3x}{2} + 3$

Substitute into curve: $x^2 - 2x - 3 = \frac{3x}{2} + 3$ $2x^2 - 4x - 6 = 3x + 6$ $2x^2 - 7x - 12 = 0$

Using formula: $x = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49+96}}{4} = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{145}}{4}$

Wait - let me check: $3x - 2y + 6 = 0$ means $y = \frac{3x+6}{2}$

Actually re-solving: $x^2 - 2x - 3 = \frac{3x+6}{2}$ $2x^2 - 4x - 6 = 3x + 6$ $2x^2 - 7x - 12 = 0$

Using quadratic formula: $x = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49+96}}{4} = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{145}}{4}$

Hmm, let me recheck the question: $3x - 2y + 6 = 0$ and $y = x^2 - 2x - 3$

From line: $2y = 3x + 6$, so $y = 1.5x + 3$

Substitute: $x^2 - 2x - 3 = 1.5x + 3$ $x^2 - 3.5x - 6 = 0$ $2x^2 - 7x - 12 = 0$

Discriminant: $49 + 96 = 145$, not a perfect square. Let me adjust - this should give nice numbers.

Rechecking: Actually let me verify: $3x - 2y + 6 = 0$ with $y = x^2 - 2x - 3$

$3x - 2(x^2 - 2x - 3) + 6 = 0$ $3x - 2x^2 + 4x + 6 + 6 = 0$ $-2x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0$ $2x^2 - 7x - 12 = 0$

Still $145$. Let me recheck if I made an error... Actually for exam purposes, I'll use:

$x = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{145}}{4}$

Or let me use a cleaner version: actually let me verify once more with substitution other direction.

From curve: at intersection points, both equations satisfied.

Actually, I'll present exact answer:

$x = \frac{7 + \sqrt{145}}{4}$ or $x = \frac{7 - \sqrt{145}}{4}$

Then $y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3$ for each.

Wait - I should double-check this is correct. Let me try $x=4$: $y = 16-8-3=5$ from curve. From line: $3(4) - 2(5) + 6 = 12-10+6 = 8 \neq 0$. Not a solution.

Try to factor $2x^2 - 7x - 12$: looking for $2 \times (-12) = -24$, sum to $-7$. Use $-8$ and $+3$? No, $-8+3=-5$. Hmm.

Actually I realize I should present this as is - the quadratic formula solution.

Answer: $P\left(\frac{7+\sqrt{145}}{4}, \frac{33+3\sqrt{145}}{8}\right)$ and $Q\left(\frac{7-\sqrt{145}}{4}, \frac{33-3\sqrt{145}}{8}\right)$

Or simplified: After finding $x$, use $y = \frac{3x+6}{2}$

Marking notes: [1] substitution, [1] correct quadratic, [1] solve for x, [1] both y-values

Question 3 [3 marks]

(a) Complete the square for $x^2 + y^2 - 6x + 4y - 12 = 0$:

$(x^2 - 6x) + (y^2 + 4y) = 12$ $(x-3)^2 - 9 + (y+2)^2 - 4 = 12$ $(x-3)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 25$

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

(b) Gradient of radius to $(7,1)$: $\frac{1-(-2)}{7-3} = \frac{3}{4}$

Gradient of tangent: $-\frac{4}{3}$

Equation: $y - 1 = -\frac{4}{3}(x-7)$ $3y - 3 = -4x + 28$ $4x + 3y - 31 = 0$ [2 marks]

Answers: (a) Centre $(3, -2)$, radius $5$; (b) $4x + 3y - 31 = 0$

Marking notes: [1] completing square x, [1] centre/radius; [1] perpendicular gradient, [1] equation

---

Question 4 [3 marks]

Method: First find equation of $L$, then use perpendicular distance formula.

Working: Gradient of given line: $2x + 5y - 10 = 0$, so $y = -\frac{2}{5}x + 2$, gradient $-\frac{2}{5}$

Line $L$ through $(3, -2)$ with same gradient: $y + 2 = -\frac{2}{5}(x - 3)$ $5y + 10 = -2x + 6$ $2x + 5y + 4 = 0$

Perpendicular distance from origin: $d = \frac{|2(0) + 5(0) + 4|}{\sqrt{2^2 + 5^2}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{29}} = \frac{4\sqrt{29}}{29}$

Answer: $\frac{4\sqrt{29}}{29}$ units or $\frac{4}{\sqrt{29}}$ units

Marking notes: [1] equation of L, [1] distance formula, [1] answer

---

Question 5 [4 marks]

(a) By completing the square or using $x = -\frac{b}{2a}$: $y = x^2 - 4x - 5 = (x-2)^2 - 9$

Vertex $V$: $(2, -9)$ [1 mark]

(b) $x^2 - 4x - 5 = 0$ $(x-5)(x+1) = 0$

$x = 5$ or $x = -1$ [2 marks]

(c) Draw line $y = 2x + 1$ on graph. The $x$-coordinates of intersection solve $x^2 - 4x - 5 = 2x + 1$, giving $x^2 - 6x - 6 = 0$.

From graph, estimate where line $y = 2x+1$ intersects curve. [1 mark for method explanation]

Marking notes: [1] vertex, [1] factorizing, [1] both roots, [1] explanation of method

---

Question 6 [3 marks]

Method: Substitute line into circle, show discriminant = 0.

Working: $x^2 + (3x+1)^2 - 4x + 2(3x+1) - 5 = 0$ $x^2 + 9x^2 + 6x + 1 - 4x + 6x + 2 - 5 = 0$ $10x^2 + 8x - 2 = 0$ $5x^2 + 4x - 1 = 0$

Discriminant: $16 + 20 = 36 = 6^2$, wait that's not zero. Let me recheck.

Actually: $10x^2 + 8x - 2 = 0$ gives discriminant $64 - 4(10)(-2) = 64 + 80 = 144$... not zero.

Let me recheck circle: $x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 2y - 5 = 0$, line $y = 3x+1$

$x^2 + (3x+1)^2 - 4x + 2(3x+1) - 5$ $= x^2 + 9x^2 + 6x + 1 - 4x + 6x + 2 - 5$ $= 10x^2 + 8x - 2$

Hmm, let me verify: at $x = -1$: $y = -2$. Check circle: $1 + 4 + 4 - 4 - 5 = 0$ ✓ So $(-1, -2)$ is on circle.

At $x = 0.2$: $y = 1.6$. Check: $0.04 + 2.56 - 0.8 + 3.2 - 5 = -0.04 - 0.8 + 3.2 = 0$? $0.04+2.56=2.6$, $-0.8+3.2=2.4$, total $5-5=0$? No: $2.6 - 0.8 + 3.2 - 5 = 0.2$.

Actually: $10(0.04) + 8(0.2) - 2 = 0.4 + 1.6 - 2 = 0$. So $x = 0.2 = 1/5$ is root, but wait that's from $10x^2+8x-2=0$.

Using formula: $x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{64+80}}{20} = \frac{-8 \pm 12}{20}$

So $x = \frac{4}{20} = 0.2$ or $x = \frac{-20}{20} = -1$

Two intersection points! Not tangent. Let me recheck my question...

I need to fix this. Let me find line that IS tangent. For tangent, discriminant = 0.

Actually, let me present the answer as: Show the line intersects circle at $(-1, -2)$...

Wait, I made an error. Let me re-verify: $5x^2 + 4x - 1 = 0$ from dividing by 2: Discriminant = $16 + 20 = 36$, roots: $x = \frac{-4 \pm 6}{10}$, so $x = 0.2$ or $x = -1$.

The line is NOT tangent. I need to correct my answer key to reflect what I actually asked, or note this.

Actually, re-reading: my question asks to "show that the line is tangent" - but mathematically it's not. This is an error in my paper generation. However, since this is the answer key, I should note: there appears to be an inconsistency in the question as posed. The line $y=3x+1$ is not tangent to this circle.

For a correct version, I should use: Find $c$ such that $y = 3x + c$ is tangent. Or change the circle/line.

Given I've already generated the paper, let me provide the correct mathematical answer:

Corrected Answer: The line $y=3x+1$ cuts the circle at two points: $(-1,-2)$ and $(0.2, 1.6)$. It is not tangent.

Note to teachers: This question contains an error. For tangency, use $y = 3x - 7$ or similar corrected line, or ask students to verify it's NOT tangent.

Actually, let me check if I made arithmetic error: Circle: $x^2 + y^2 - 4x + 2y - 5 = 0$ Centre: $(2, -1)$, radius: $\sqrt{4+1+5} = \sqrt{10}$

Distance from $(2,-1)$ to line $3x - y + 1 = 0$: $d = \frac{|6+1+1|}{\sqrt{10}} = \frac{8}{\sqrt{10}} = \frac{8\sqrt{10}}{10} = \frac{4\sqrt{10}}{5}$

Compare to radius $\sqrt{10}$: $\frac{8}{\sqrt{10}} = \frac{8\sqrt{10}}{10} = 0.8\sqrt{10} < \sqrt{10}$

So line cuts circle (distance < radius). Not tangent.

I will note this as an erratum. For the purposes of this answer key, I'll provide what the correct approach would be for a properly constructed tangent problem.

Question 7 [4 marks]

(a) Method: In parallelogram, $\vec{AB} = \vec{DC}$ or use midpoint of diagonals.

Midpoint of $AC$: $\left(\frac{-1+3}{2}, \frac{3+(-1)}{2}\right) = (1, 1)$

Let $D = (x,y)$: midpoint of $BD$ is $\left(\frac{5+x}{2}, \frac{7+y}{2}\right) = (1,1)$

So $5+x = 2$, $7+y = 2$, giving $x = -3$, $y = -5$

$D = (-3, -5)$ [2 marks]

(b) Area using cross product: $\frac{1}{2}|x_A(y_B-y_C) + x_B(y_C-y_A) + x_C(y_A-y_B)|$ for triangle, then double.

Or: $\vec{AB} = (6, 4)$, $\vec{AD} = (-2, -8)$

Area = $|6 \times (-8) - 4 \times (-2)| = |-48 + 8| = 40$

Answer: 40 square units [2 marks]

Marking notes: [1] midpoint/diagonal method, [1] coordinates of D; [1] vector method, [1] answer

---

Question 8 [3 marks]

Method: Substitute and set discriminant = 0 for tangency.

$x^2 - 3x + 5 = 2x + k$ $x^2 - 5x + (5-k) = 0$

For tangent: discriminant $= 25 - 4(5-k) = 0$ $25 - 20 + 4k = 0$ $5 + 4k = 0$ $k = -\frac{5}{4}$

Answer: $k = -\frac{5}{4}$

Marking notes: [1] substitution, [1] discriminant condition, [1] solve for k

---

Question 9 [4 marks]

(a) Gradient of $L_1$: $\frac{3-0}{4-0} = \frac{3}{4}$

Gradient of $L_2$: $\frac{0-6}{3-0} = -2$

Angle with $x$-axis: $\theta = \arctan\left(\frac{3}{4}\right)$, $\phi = \arctan(2)$ (acute angle for $L_2$ is $180° - \arctan(-2)$... actually angle from positive x-axis is $\arctan(-2)+180°$ but acute angle is $\arctan(2)$)

Acute angle between lines: $\tan^{-1}\left|\frac{m_1-m_2}{1+m_1m_2}\right| = \tan^{-1}\left|\frac{\frac{3}{4}+2}{1-\frac{3}{2}}\right| = \tan^{-1}\left|\frac{11/4}{-1/2}\right| = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{11}{2}\right)$

Wait let me recalculate: $\frac{3/4 - (-2)}{1 + (3/4)(-2)} = \frac{3/4 + 2}{1 - 3/2} = \frac{11/4}{-1/2} = -\frac{11}{2}$

So angle = $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{11}{2}\right) \approx 79.7°$

Or using: $\tan\theta = \frac{3}{4}$, so $\theta \approx 36.87°$, and $\tan\phi = 2$, so $\phi \approx 63.43°$

Angle between them: $63.43° - 36.87°$... actually since one is above and one below (but wait, $L_2$ goes from $(0,6)$ to $(3,0)$ so it has negative gradient, going down).

Angle of $L_1$ from positive x-axis: $\alpha = \arctan(0.75) \approx 36.87°$ Angle of $L_2$ from positive x-axis (measured anticlockwise): $180° - \arctan(2) \approx 116.57°$

Acute angle between them: $116.57° - 36.87° = 79.7°$ or use formula to get $\tan^{-1}(5.5) \approx 79.7°$

Answer: $79.7°$ or $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{11}{2}\right)$ [2 marks]

(b) $L_1$: $y = \frac{3}{4}x$

$L_2$: Using point $(0,6)$ and gradient $-2$: $y = -2x + 6$

At $P$: $\frac{3}{4}x = -2x + 6$ $3x = -8x + 24$ $11x = 24$ $x = \frac{24}{11}$, $y = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{24}{11} = \frac{18}{11}$

$P\left(\frac{24}{11}, \frac{18}{11}\right)$ [2 marks]

Question 10 [4 marks]

(a) $\frac{dy}{dx} = x - 3 = 0$ at $x = 3$

$y = \frac{9}{2} - 9 + 4 = -\frac{1}{2}$

$M\left(3, -\frac{1}{2}\right)$ [2 marks]

(b) At $x = 4$: $y = 8 - 12 + 4 = 0$, so point is $(4, 0)$

Gradient of tangent: $\frac{dy}{dx}\big|_{x=4} = 4-3 = 1$

Gradient of normal: $-1$

Equation of normal: $y - 0 = -1(x-4)$, so $y = -x + 4$

Meets x-axis where $y=0$: already at $(4,0)$... wait that's the same point.

Let me recheck: At $(4,0)$, normal has gradient $-1$, so $y = -(x-4) = -x+4$.

This meets x-axis where $y=0$: $0 = -x+4$, so $x=4$. So $N = (4,0)$, which is the same point.

Hmm, this is degenerate. The point is ON the x-axis, so the normal meets the x-axis at the point itself.

Let me recheck my calculations. $y = \frac{1}{2}(16) - 3(4) + 4 = 8-12+4 = 0$. Yes.

Actually this is correct mathematically but pedagogically awkward. The answer is $(4,0)$.

Answers: (a) $M\left(3, -\frac{1}{2}\right)$; (b) $N(4, 0)$

---

Question 11 [3 marks]

(a) $3 = \frac{a}{2}$, so $a = 6$ [1 mark]

(b) Line through $(2,3)$ with gradient $-\frac{1}{2}$: $y - 3 = -\frac{1}{2}(x-2)$ $y = -\frac{1}{2}x + 1 + 3 = -\frac{1}{2}x + 4$

Meets curve $y = \frac{6}{x}$: $-\frac{1}{2}x + 4 = \frac{6}{x}$ $-x^2 + 8x = 12$ (multiplying by $2x$, assuming $x \neq 0$) $x^2 - 8x + 12 = 0$ $(x-2)(x-6) = 0$

So $x = 2$ (point P) or $x = 6$, giving $y = 1$

$Q(6, 1)$ [2 marks]

---

Question 12 [4 marks]

(a) $C_1$: centre $(2, -1)$, radius $5$ $C_2$: $x^2 + y^2 + 4x - 2y - 20 = 0$, so $(x+2)^2 + (y-1)^2 = 4+1+20 = 25$, centre $(-2, 1)$, radius $5$

Distance between centres: $\sqrt{(2-(-2))^2 + (-1-1)^2} = \sqrt{16+4} = \sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5} \approx 4.47$ [2 marks]

(b) Sum of radii: $5+5=10$, difference: $0$

Since $0 < 2\sqrt{5} < 10$, the circles intersect at two points. [2 marks]

---

Question 13 [3 marks]

Let $A = (x, y)$. Then: $x + y = 6$ $x - y = 2$

Adding: $2x = 8$, so $x = 4$, then $y = 2$

Answer: $A(4, 2)$

Marking notes: [1] set up equations, [1] solve, [1] answer

---

Question 14 [4 marks]

(a) $\frac{dy}{dx} = 3x^2 - 3 = 3(x^2-1) = 0$ when $x = \pm 1$

At $x = 1$: $y = 1-3+1 = -1$, so $B(1, -1)$ At $x = -1$: $y = -1+3+1 = 3$, so $A(-1, 3)$ [3 marks]

(b) $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} = 6x$

At $A$ ($x=-1$): $-6 < 0$, so maximum At $B$ ($x=1$): $6 > 0$, so minimum [1 mark]

---

Question 15 [4 marks]

Line: $\frac{x}{3} + \frac{y}{4} = 1$, i.e., $4x + 3y - 12 = 0$

(a) $d = \frac{|4(2)+3(5)-12|}{\sqrt{16+9}} = \frac{|8+15-12|}{5} = \frac{11}{5}$ [2 marks]

(b) Gradient of $L$ is $-\frac{4}{3}$, so perpendicular gradient is $\frac{3}{4}$

Line through $P(2,5)$ perpendicular to $L$: $y - 5 = \frac{3}{4}(x-2)$ $4y - 20 = 3x - 6$ $3x - 4y + 14 = 0$

Meet $L$ ($4x+3y=12$): From perpendicular: $x = \frac{4y-14}{3}$

Substitute: $4(\frac{4y-14}{3}) + 3y = 12$ $\frac{16y-56}{3} + 3y = 12$ $16y - 56 + 9y = 36$ $25y = 92$, $y = \frac{92}{25} = 3.68$

$x = \frac{4 \times \frac{92}{25} - 14}{3} = \frac{\frac{368-350}{25}}{3} = \frac{18}{75} = \frac{6}{25} = 0.24$

Or use parametric: direction of perpendicular is $(3,4)$ from gradient $3/4$.

$Q = (2,5) + t(3,4) = (2+3t, 5+4t)$ on $4x+3y=12$: $4(2+3t) + 3(5+4t) = 12$ $8 + 12t + 15 + 12t = 12$ $24t = -11$, $t = -\frac{11}{24}$

$Q = \left(2-\frac{33}{24}, 5-\frac{44}{24}\right) = \left(\frac{48-33}{24}, \frac{120-44}{24}\right) = \left(\frac{15}{24}, \frac{76}{24}\right) = \left(\frac{5}{8}, \frac{19}{6}\right)$

Let me verify: $4(\frac{5}{8}) + 3(\frac{19}{6}) = \frac{5}{2} + \frac{19}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12$ ✓

Answer: (a) $\frac{11}{5}$ units; (b) $Q\left(\frac{5}{8}, \frac{19}{6}\right)$

Section B

Question 16 [10 marks]

(a) At $x$-intercepts, $y=0$: $-x^2+4x+5=0$, so $x^2-4x-5=0$, $(x-5)(x+1)=0$

$x = 5$ or $x = -1$. Points are $(5,0)$ and $(-1,0)$. ✓ [1 mark]

(b) $y = -(x^2 - 4x) + 5 = -((x-2)^2 - 4) + 5 = -(x-2)^2 + 4 + 5 = 9 - (x-2)^2$

So $a = 9$, $b = 2$, maximum point $M(2, 9)$ [3 marks]

(c) $\frac{dy}{dx} = -2x + 4$

At $x=0$: gradient = $4$

Equation: $y - 5 = 4(x-0)$, so $y = 4x + 5$ [2 marks]

(d) At $y=0$: $0 = 4x+5$, $x = -\frac{5}{4}$

$S\left(-\frac{5}{4}, 0\right)$ [1 mark]

(e) Area $= \int_{-1}^{5} (-x^2+4x+5)\,dx = \left[-\frac{x^3}{3}+2x^2+5x\right]_{-1}^{5}$

At $5$: $-\frac{125}{3}+50+25 = -\frac{125}{3}+75 = \frac{-125+225}{3} = \frac{100}{3}$

At $-1$: $\frac{1}{3}+2-5 = \frac{1}{3}-3 = -\frac{8}{3}$

Area $= \frac{100}{3} - (-\frac{8}{3}) = \frac{108}{3} = 36$ [3 marks]

---

Question 17 [10 marks]

(a) $AB = \sqrt{(5-1)^2+(6-2)^2} = \sqrt{16+16} = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}$

$BC = \sqrt{(9-5)^2+(2-6)^2} = \sqrt{16+16} = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}$

Since $AB = BC$, triangle is isosceles [2 marks]

(b) Gradient of $AC$: $\frac{2-2}{9-1} = 0$

Equation: $y = 2$ [1 mark]

(c) Perpendicular from $B$ to $AC$: $AC$ is horizontal, so perpendicular is vertical.

Equation: $x = 5$ or $x + 0y - 5 = 0$ [2 marks]

(d) $D$ is on $y=2$ and $x=5$, so $D(5, 2)$ [2 marks]

(e) Area $= \frac{1}{2} \times AC \times BD = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 4 = 16$

Or using formula: $\frac{1}{2}|1(6-2)+5(2-2)+9(2-6)| = \frac{1}{2}|4+0-36| = \frac{1}{2}|-32| = 16$

Area = 16 square units [3 marks]

---

Question 18 [10 marks]

(a) Using quotient rule: $u = x^2+3$, $v = 2x-1$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x(2x-1) - (x^2+3)(2)}{(2x-1)^2} = \frac{4x^2-2x-2x^2-6}{(2x-1)^2} = \frac{2x^2-2x-6}{(2x-1)^2} = \frac{2(x^2-x-3)}{(2x-1)^2}$ [3 marks]

(b) Stationary when $x^2-x-3=0$ (numerator = 0, denominator ≠ 0)

$x = \frac{1\pm\sqrt{1+12}}{2} = \frac{1\pm\sqrt{13}}{2}$ [2 marks]

(c) Second derivative test or sign analysis of $\frac{dy}{dx}$:

For $x = \frac{1+\sqrt{13}}{2} \approx 2.303$: check sign of $\frac{dy}{dx}$ around this point... or use second derivative.

Alternatively, check values: at $x=2$: $4-2-3=-1<0$; at $x=3$: $9-3-3=3>0$.

So changing from negative to positive: minimum

For $x = \frac{1-\sqrt{13}}{2} \approx -1.303$: at $x=-2$: $4+2-3=3>0$; at $x=-1$: $1+1-3=-1<0$.

Changing from positive to negative: maximum [3 marks]

(d) Polynomial long division: $x^2 + 3 = (2x-1)(\frac{x}{2}+\frac{1}{4}) + \frac{13}{4}$

Wait let me do properly: $x^2 + 0x + 3$ divided by $2x - 1$:

$\frac{x^2}{2x} = \frac{x}{2}$

$(2x-1)(\frac{x}{2}) = x^2 - \frac{x}{2}$

Subtract: $0 + \frac{x}{2} + 3$

$\frac{x/2}{2x} = \frac{1}{4}$

$(2x-1)(\frac{1}{4}) = \frac{x}{2} - \frac{1}{4}$

Subtract: $3 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}$

So $y = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{13/4}{2x-1} = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{13}{4(2x-1)}$

As $x \to \infty$: $y \approx \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$

But question says $y = x + c$ is asymptote... this doesn't match. Let me recheck.

Actually, for oblique asymptote of form $y = mx + c$ where $m \neq 1$ generally... but question specifies $y=x+c$.

Hmm, my calculation shows the asymptote is $y = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$, not $y = x+c$.

Unless there's a different interpretation. Let me verify by checking degree: numerator degree 2, denominator degree 1, so oblique asymptote has slope $\frac{1}{2}$.

So either: (i) question has typo, should be $y = \frac{x}{2}+c$, or (ii) I need to re-interpret.

Given the question as stated asks for $y = x+c$, this seems inconsistent with the mathematics. However, if we proceed formally:

Actually wait - could use $y = \frac{x^2+3}{2x-1}$ and want $y=x+c$ as asymptote? For large $x$, this behaves as $\frac{x}{2}$, not $x$.

I believe there's an error in the question as posed. The correct oblique asymptote is $y = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$.

For the answer key, I'll note: The oblique asymptote is $y = \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$, so $c = \frac{1}{4}$ with slope $\frac{1}{2}$, not $1$. The question appears to contain an inconsistency if requiring slope exactly $1$.

Question 19 [10 marks]

(a) $PC = \sqrt{(11-3)^2+(10-4)^2} = \sqrt{64+36} = \sqrt{100} = 10 > 5$ = radius

Since $PC > r$, $P$ lies outside the circle [1 mark]

(b) $(x-3)^2+(y-4)^2 = 25$ $x^2-6x+9+y^2-8y+16 = 25$ $x^2+y^2-6x-8y = 0$ ✓ [1 mark]

(c) $PC = 10$ [1 mark]

(d) Triangle $PCT$ is right-angled at $T$ (radius perpendicular to tangent).

$PT^2 + CT^2 = PC^2$ $PT^2 + 25 = 100$ $PT^2 = 75$ $PT = \sqrt{75} = 5\sqrt{3}$ [2 marks]

(e) Method 1: $T$ lies on circle and $PT \perp CT$.

Let $T = (x,y)$. Then $(x-3)^2+(y-4)^2 = 25$ and $\vec{CT} \cdot \vec{PT} = 0$

$\vec{CT} = (x-3, y-4)$, $\vec{PT} = (x-11, y-10)$

$(x-3)(x-11)+(y-4)(y-10) = 0$

Expanding: $x^2-14x+33+y^2-14y+40 = 0$ $x^2+y^2-14x-14y+73 = 0$

Using circle equation $x^2+y^2 = 6x+8y$: $6x+8y-14x-14y+73 = 0$ $-8x-6y+73 = 0$ $8x+6y = 73$... let me check, alternatively use ratio.

Since $CT \perp PT$ and $T$ is on circle, $T$ is where line from $C$ perpendicular to $CP$ meets... no wait, that's not right.

Actually, $T$ lies on circle such that angle $CTP = 90°$. So $T$ lies on circle with diameter $CP$... no, $T$ is on given circle.

Use: $PT$ is tangent, length known. Line $CP$ has direction $(8,6) = 2(4,3)$, unit direction $(\frac{4}{5}, \frac{3}{5})$.

Point $T$ is such that $CT = 5$ perpendicular to $PT$, and $PT = 5\sqrt{3}$.

From $C$, move at distance 5 perpendicular to $CP$ direction.

Perpendicular directions to $(4,3)$ are $(3,-4)$ and $(-3,4)$, normalized: $(\frac{3}{5}, -\frac{4}{5})$ and $(-\frac{3}{5}, \frac{4}{5})$.

So $T = C \pm 5(\frac{3}{5}, -\frac{4}{5}) = (3\pm 3, 4\mp 4) = (6,0)$ or $(0,8)$

Check which has $PT = 5\sqrt{3}$: For $(6,0)$: $PT = \sqrt{25+100} = \sqrt{125} \neq 5\sqrt{3}$

Hmm, let me recheck. For $(6,0)$: $P(11,10)$, $T(6,0)$: $PT = \sqrt{25+100} = \sqrt{125} = 5\sqrt{5}$. Wrong.

Try other: $(0,8)$: $PT = \sqrt{121+4} = \sqrt{125}$ again.

Hmm, my perpendicular direction is wrong. Let me recalculate.

$CP = (8,6)$. Perpendicular is $(6,-8)$ or $(-6,8)$ (swap and negate one).

Unit perpendicular: $\frac{(6,-8)}{10} = (0.6, -0.8)$

$T = C \pm 5(0.6, -0.8) = (3\pm 3, 4\mp 4) = (6,0)$ or $(0,8)$ as before. But these give wrong $PT$.

Wait, $PT$ should equal $5\sqrt{3} \approx 8.66$. But $\sqrt{125} \approx 11.2$.

Contradiction! Let me recheck (d): $PT^2 = 100 - 25 = 75$, $PT = \sqrt{75} = 5\sqrt{3} \approx 8.66$.

But my $T$ gives $PT = 5\sqrt{5}$. So my construction is wrong.

Actually, I see: I computed $T$ as $C \pm 5 \times$ (unit perpendicular to $CP$), but this assumes $T$ is found by moving perpendicular from $C$, which IS correct for radius perpendicular to tangent.

Let me recheck $(6,0)$: Is it on circle? $(6-3)^2+(0-4)^2 = 9+16=25$. Yes!

Tangent at $(6,0)$: gradient of radius is $\frac{-4}{3}$, so tangent gradient is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Equation: $y = \frac{3}{4}(x-6) = \frac{3x-18}{4}$

Does $P(11,10)$ lie on this? $10 = \frac{33-18}{4} = \frac{15}{4}$? No, $10 \neq 3.75$.

So $(6,0)$ is NOT the tangent point from $P$.

The issue: moving perpendicular from $CP$ direction gives points where radius is perpendicular to $CP$, not where tangent from $P$ touches.

Correct approach: $T$ satisfies: on circle, and $PT \perp CT$.

Actually $PT \perp CT$ means $T$ lies on circle with diameter... no, $P$ is outside.

Let me use parametric or solve properly.

Circle: $(x-3)^2+(y-4)^2 = 25$ and line $PT$ has gradient perpendicular to $CT$ gradient.

Let $T = (3+5\cos\theta, 4+5\sin\theta)$

Gradient $CT = \tan\theta$ (from horizontal)

Gradient $PT = \frac{4+5\sin\theta-10}{3+5\cos\theta-11} = \frac{5\sin\theta-6}{5\cos\theta-8}$

For perpendicularity: $\frac{5\sin\theta-6}{5\cos\theta-8} \times \frac{5\sin\theta}{5\cos\theta} = -1$... actually gradient $CT$ is $\frac{5\sin\theta}{5\cos\theta} = \tan\theta$.

So: $\frac{5\sin\theta-6}{5\cos\theta-8} \times \tan\theta = -1$

This gets messy. Alternative: The tangent from external point satisfies power of a point, and we can find equation using $T$ lies on polar line.

Actually, use: tangent line at $T(x_0,y_0)$ is $(x_0-3)(x-3)+(y_0-4)(y-4)=25$ extended, or for point on circle $x_0^2+y_0^2-6x_0-8y_0=0$, tangent is $xx_0+yy_0-3(x+x_0)-4(y+y_0)=0$.

Since $P(11,10)$ is on tangent: $11x_0+10y_0-3(11+x_0)-4(10+y_0)=0$ $11x_0+10y_0-33-3x_0-40-4y_0=0$ $8x_0+6y_0 = 73$

Also $x_0^2+y_0^2-6x_0-8y_0=0$

From $8x_0+6y_0=73$: $y_0 = \frac{73-8x_0}{6}$

Substitute: $x_0^2 + \frac{(73-8x_0)^2}{36} - 6x_0 - \frac{8(73-8x_0)}{6} = 0$

Multiply by 36: $36x_0^2 + (73-8x_0)^2 - 216x_0 - 48(73-8x_0) = 0$ $36x_0^2 + 5329 - 1168x_0 + 64x_0^2 - 216x_0 - 3504 + 384x_0 = 0$ $100x_0^2 - 1000x_0 + 1825 = 0$ $4x_0^2 - 40x_0 + 73 = 0$

$x_0 = \frac{40 \pm \sqrt{1600-1168}}{8} = \frac{40 \pm \sqrt{432}}{8} = \frac{40 \pm 12\sqrt{3}}{8} = \frac{10 \pm 3\sqrt{3}}{2}$

Then $y_0 = \frac{73 - 8(\frac{10\pm 3\sqrt{3}}{2})}{6} = \frac{73 - 40 \mp 12\sqrt{3}}{6} = \frac{33 \mp 12\sqrt{3}}{6} = \frac{11 \mp 4\sqrt{3}}{2}$

So $T = \left(\frac{10+3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{11-4\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$ or $\left(\frac{10-3\sqrt{3}}{2}, \frac{11+4\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)$

These are messy. I suspect my original circle choice was poor for a clean exam question.

For a cleaner answer, I'll use: The tangent line equation from external point.

Using $8x+6y=73$ as the chord of contact (line joining two possible tangent points - but actually for one tangent if we are careful, or this is the polar line).

Actually, the question asks for equation of tangent $PT$, knowing $P$ and that it's tangent.

Slope of $CP = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$

For tangent line: if it makes angle $\alpha$ with $CP$, then $\sin\alpha = \frac{r}{CP} = \frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}$, so $\alpha = 30°$.

Angle of $CP$ with horizontal: $\arctan(\frac{3}{4}) \approx 36.87°$

So tangent angles: $36.87° \pm 30° = 66.87°$ or $6.87°$

Gradients: $\tan(66.87°) \approx 2.32$ or $\tan(6.87°) \approx 0.12$

This is getting very messy. Let me use a different approach or verify my setup was intended to be cleaner.

Actually, re-reading: $P(11,10)$, $C(3,4)$, $r=5$. Maybe I should have chosen $P$ to give cleaner tangents. For this answer key, I'll present the exact form.

Equation of tangent(s): Using point-slope from $P(11,10)$ with slope $m$:

$y - 10 = m(x-11)$, or $mx - y + 10 - 11m = 0$

Distance from $C(3,4)$ equals 5: $\frac{|3m-4+10-11m|}{\sqrt{m^2+1}} = 5$ $|6-8m| = 5\sqrt{m^2+1}$

Squaring: $36 - 96m + 64m^2 = 25m^2 + 25$ $39m^2 - 96m + 11 = 0$

Using formula: $m = \frac{96 \pm \sqrt{9216-1716}}{78} = \frac{96 \pm \sqrt{7500}}{78} = \frac{96 \pm 50\sqrt{3}}{78} = \frac{48 \pm 25\sqrt{3}}{39}$

Still messy. For exam purposes, this question needs revision. I'll note the mathematical answer but flag for review.

For (f): Line $PC$ extended: from $P(11,10)$ through $C(3,4)$, direction $(-8,-6)$.

Parametric: $(11,10) + t(-8,-6) = (11-8t, 10-6t)$

On circle when distance from $C$ is 5: $(11-8t-3)^2+(10-6t-4)^2=25$ $(8-8t)^2+(6-6t)^2=25$ $64(1-t)^2+36(1-t)^2=25$ $100(1-t)^2=25$ $(1-t)^2=\frac{1}{4}$ $1-t=\pm\frac{1}{2}$

$t = 1 \mp \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$ or $\frac{3}{2}$

At $t=\frac{1}{2}$: $(7, 7)$ - between $P$ and $C$? No, $t=0$ is $P$, $t=1$ is $C$, so $t=\frac{1}{2}$ is midpoint, which is inside.

At $t=\frac{3}{2}$: $(11-12, 10-9) = (-1, 1)$

Check: $(-1-3)^2+(1-4)^2 = 16+9=25$. Yes!

Question 20 [10 marks]

(a) $\frac{dx}{dt} = 2t-2$, $\frac{dy}{dt} = 2t+2$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2t+2}{2t-2} = \frac{t+1}{t-1}$ [2 marks]

(b) Tangent parallel to x-axis when $\frac{dy}{dx} = 0$: $t+1 = 0$, so $t = -1$ [2 marks]

(c) $x+y = 2t^2$, $x-y = -4t$, so $(x-y)^2 = 16t^2$

Need $(x-y)^2 = k(x+y)$, so $16t^2 = k \cdot 2t^2 = 2kt^2$

For $t \neq 0$: $16 = 2k$, so $k = 8$

Verify: $(x-y)^2 = 16t^2$ and $8(x+y) = 16t^2$. Yes!

So $(x-y)^2 = 8(x+y)$ [4 marks]

(d) At $t=1$: $x = 1-2 = -1$, $y = 1+2 = 3$, point is $(-1, 3)$

$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2}{0}$ undefined! Vertical tangent.

Normal is horizontal: $y = 3$

Meet curve again: $t^2+2t = 3$, so $t^2+2t-3=0$, $(t+3)(t-1)=0$

$t = 1$ (original point) or $t = -3$

At $t = -3$: $x = 9+6 = 15$, $y = 9-6 = 3$

Other point: $(15, 3)$ [2 marks]
