8 marks
Prelims
  1. The curve with equation \(\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{9}-{{x}^{2}}=1\) undergoes a two-step transformations to become curve \(C\) with equation \(\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{9}-\frac{{{\left( x-1 \right)}^{2}}}{4}=1\).
    State the two transformations involved for the curve \(\frac{{{y}^{2}}}{9}-{{x}^{2}}=1\).[2]
  2. Draw a sketch of the curve \(C\), labelling clearly the equation(s) of its asymptote(s), intersection with the axes and the coordinates of any turning points.[3]
  3. Show that the point \(\left( -1,-3 \right)\) lies on the line \(y=mx+m-3\) for all real values of \(m\).[1]
  4. Hence using the diagram drawn in (ii), find the range of values of \(k\) such that the equation \(\frac{{{\left( kx+k-3 \right)}^{2}}}{9}-\frac{{{\left( x-1 \right)}^{2}}}{4}=1\) has \({2}\) negative real roots.[2]

Answer:(i) Stretch by scale factor \(2\) parallel to the \(x\)-axis, then translate \(1\) unit in the positive \(x\)-direction (ii) Centre \((1,0)\), turning points \((1,3)\) and \((1,-3)\), asymptotes \(y=\dfrac32(x-1)\) and \(y=-\dfrac32(x-1)\), \(y\)-intercepts \(\left(0,\dfrac{3\sqrt5}{2}\right)\) and \(\left(0,-\dfrac{3\sqrt5}{2}\right)\), no \(x\)-intercepts (iii) \(m(-1)+m-3=-3\), so \((-1,-3)\) lies on every line (iv) \(k< -\dfrac32\) or \(k>3+\dfrac{3\sqrt5}{2}\)
