Answer all the questions.

1 (a) The curve y  mx 2  12 x  2 ( x 2  m  1) lies entirely below the x-axis for all real
values of x. Find the largest integer value of m. [5]

y  mx 2  12 x  2 ( x 2  m  1)
 mx 2  12 x  2 x 2  2m  2
 (m  2) x 2  12 x  2m  2
Since the curve lies entirely below the x-axis,
① Discriminant, b 2  4ac  0
(12) 2  4(m  2)(2m  2)  0
144  4(2m 2  2m  4)  0

m 2  m  20  0
(m  5)(m  4)  0
m  5 or m  4
② Coefficient of x2, m  2  0  m  2
Combining the inequalities, m  5

(a) Show that the equation of the normal to the circle at the point A is [3]

It is also given that the line x  1 touches the circle at the point (1, 2).

(b) Find the coordinates of the centre and the radius of the circle. [4]

Since the line x = 1 touches the circle at the point (1, 2), so the equation of
the normal at (1, 2) is y = 2 and this passes through the centre of the circle.
Solving the equations 4 x  3 y  22 and y = 2 provides the x coordinate of
centre of circle and the y coordinate of centre of circle is 2 .
4 x  3(2)  22  4 x  16  x  4
Coordinates of the centre = (4, 2)

Radius of circle = (4  1)2  (6  (2)) 2

= 5 units

Or Radius of circle (from (1, 2) to (4, 2) = 1+ 4= 5 units
