Answer all the questions. 1 A family of circles is given by the equation ( ) x a - + 2 2 cos s 2 2 ( ) y a - = in 1 (*) where the parameter a satisfies 0 2 G a 1 r. (a) Use a slider (for a) to inv... estigate this family of circles. Write down the cartesian equation of the curve which contains the centre of each circle in the family. [1] (b) Let b and c be real numbers with 0 G b c 1 1 r. Find and simplify an expression, in terms of b and c, for the distance between the centre of the circle corresponding to a b = and the centre of the circle corresponding to a c = . [2] (c) Hence, or otherwise, find a condition on b and c for the two circles in part (b) to touch. [2] A curve which every member of a family of curves or lines touches tangentially is called an envelope of the family. (d) By tracing the family of curves using a slider (for a), or otherwise, sketch the envelope of the family (*) in the Printed Answer Booklet. [2] (e) Write down the equations of the curves which make up the envelope for this family (*). [2] 2 This question is about the family of straight lines which pass through the points (0, a) and ( , 1 a2) where the parameter a is any real number. (a) In terms of a, find the equation of the straight line which passes through the points (0, a) and ( , 1 a2). [2] (b) Let b and c be distinct real numbers. Given that the straight line corresponding to a b = and the straight line corresponding to a c = are parallel, find b in terms of c. [3] (c) By tracing the family using a slider (for a), or otherwise, sketch the envelope of this family in the Printed Answer Booklet. [2] (d) Determine, in the form y x = h( ), the cartesian equation of the envelope for this family.

[3] In the rest of this question the highest common factor of positive integers m and n is denoted by (m, n). (ii) Use your program to find (74333, 89817). [1] (b) Euler’s totient function {( ) n , where n is a positive integer, is defined to be the number of integers m with 1 G G m n such that ( , m n) . = 1 For example {( ) 6 2 = because ( , 1 6) , = 1 ( , 2 6) , = 2 ( , 3 6) , = 3 ( , 4 6) , = 2 ( , 5 6) = 1 and [Show More]
