The curve \({{C}_{1}}\) has equation \({{x}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}}+6y+16=0\)

The curve \({{C}_{2}}\) has equation \({{\left( \frac{x-p}{5} \right)}^{2}}-{{\left( \frac{y-q}{5} \right)}^{2}}=1\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are constants.

  1. Sketch \({{C}_{1}}\), stating the coordinates of any points of intersection with the \(x\)- and \(y\)-axes and the equations of any asymptotes.[3]
  2. The line \(y=mx+c\) intersects \({{C}_{1}}\) twice. State the range of values of \(m\).[2]
  3. Given that \({{C}_{1}}\) and \({{C}_{2}}\) have the same asymptotes, determine the values of \(p\) and \(q\).[2]
  4. On the same diagram in part (i), sketch \({{C}_{2}}\).[1]
  5. Let \(n\) be the number of points of intersection of the curve \({{x}^{2}}+{{(y-3)}^{2}}={{r}^{2}}\) where \(r>0\), with the curve \({{C}_{2}}\). Determine the possible values of \(n\).[1]

Answer:(i) \(C_1:\dfrac{(y-3)^2}{25}-\dfrac{x^2}{25}=1\), \(y\)-intercepts \((0,8)\) and \((0,-2)\), no \(x\)-intercepts, asymptotes \(y=3\pm x\) (ii) As written, the range is underdetermined because it depends on \(c\). For \(m\ne\pm1\), two intersections require \((c-3)^2+25(m^2-1)>0\) (iii) \(p=0\), \(q=3\) (iv) \(C_2:\dfrac{x^2}{25}-\dfrac{(y-3)^2}{25}=1\), vertices \((\pm5,3)\) (v) \(n=0,2\text{ or}\hspace{0.5em}4\)
