3c) You're shown a graph with two roots. Then a new equation and you're asked to explain the
new number of roots. What do you do?
Graph has been shifted...so new number of intersections with x-axis is...
1b) Why is your answer unlikely to be accurate to the nearest square metre?
Angles and lengths not given to multiple significant figures e.g. 4 significant figures
6a) How do you calculate the bearing on which the boat is moving?
Do overall displacement vector then do tan to the minus 1 of it, then remember it's from the
north
Put their angle solution back into the original equation and get an incorrect equation
Question pack: Coordinate Geometry - Circles
Draw a diagram instead of doing simultaneous equations, because x=k is a vertical line that you
can find, and we're not sure if replacing x and getting y and k without any x means you can still
use the quadratic discriminant thing
4ii) Given that C2 lies entirely in the 4th quadrant, find the range of possible values for k.
Draw a diagram and see what radius length is needed to stay in the 4th quadrant, then equate
that to what you algebraically found the radius to be, then remember a radius has to be above
zero
9) You have a circle with radius r, touching the axes and remaining in the first quadrant. What's
the equation?
ON = OA + lambdaCN, yes lambda can represent bigger parts not just fractional parts!
Then say the coefficient for ‘a’ is zero, solve for lambda, plug into each and you’re good
