1. [Maximum mark: 5]
The quadratic equation (k − 1)x2 + 2x + (2k − 3) = 0, where

k ∈ R, has real distinct roots.

Find the range of possible values for k. [5]

2. [Maximum mark: 16]


(a) The graph of a quadratic function f has its vertex at the point
(3, 2) and it intersects the x-axis at x = 5. Find f in the form

f (x) = a(x − h) + k.
[3]
The quadratic function g is defined by g(x) 2
= px + (t − 1)x − p where

x ∈ R and p, t ∈ R, p ≠ 0.

(b.ii) find the range of g. [3]

(c) The linear function j is defined by j(x) = −x + 3p where

x ∈ R and p ∈ R, p ≠ 0.
Show that the graphs of j(x) = −x + 3p and

+ (t − 1)x − p have two distinct points of

g(x) = px

intersection for every possible value of p and t. [6]
