Question 42

A particle moves in a 2D plane such that its position is constrained by the curve with equation

2(x−2y)2=5x+3y+12 2(x - 2y)^2 = 5x + 3y + 12 2(x−2y)2=5x+3y+12

The curve intersects the positive xxx-axis at the point PPP.

a.

Show that the gradient of the curve at PPP is 1135\frac{11}{35}3511​.

[4]
b.

Find an equation for the normal to the curve at PPP, giving your answer in the form ax+by=cax + by = cax+by=c, where aaa, bbb and ccc are integers.
