Q1. The coordinates of the centre of the circle C are (4, 6). It is given that the
horizontal line y=1 is a tangent to C.
(a) Find the equation of C. 我知道這條是這樣做: (x- 4)^2 + (y- 6)^2 = 5^2
x^2 + y^2 - 8x- 12y +27= 0
(b) L is a straight line with slope -1/2 and x-intercept k. L cuts C at A and
B. Express the mid-point of A and B in terms of k. 我不知道這條如何做?

Q2. Consider a quadratuc equation (x - r)(x - 2) = 3x - 2, where r is a constant.
(a) Find the discriminant fi the equation in terms of r. 我知道這條是這樣做:
- r^2 + 6r + 7
(b) If the quadratic equation has tew equal real roots, find the possible values of r.
我知道這條是這樣做: r = - 1
(c) Using the result in (b), solve the equation (x - r)(x + 2)(x - 1) = (3x + 2)(x - 1)
if r < - 5. 我不明白也不知道這條如何做?
