    + y )y
    2 2
    = 4x where
    x ≥ 0 and −2 < y < 2.

    Consider the curve C defined by y 2
    = sin (xy) , y ≠ 0.

    (a) Show that


    dy y cos (xy)
    .
    dx
    =
    2y−x cos (xy) [5]

    (b) Prove that, when


    dy
    = 0 , y = ±1. [5]
    dx

    (c) Hence find the coordinates of all points on C , for


    dy
    0 < x < 4π, where
    dx
    = 0. [5]

    dy
    y
    3
    + 3xy
    2
    − x

    4. [Maximum mark: 6] 18N.1.AHL.TZ0.H_7
    Consider the curves C1 and C2 defined as follows

    C1 : xy = 4, x > 0

    = 2, x > 0
    2 2
    C2 : y − x

    (a) Using implicit differentiation, or otherwise, find


    dy
    for each
    dx

    curve in terms of x and y. [4]

    (b) Let P(a, b) be the unique point where the curves C1 and C2
    intersect.

    Show that the tangent to C1 at P is perpendicular to the


    tangent to C2 at P. [2]
    5. [Maximum mark: 8] 17N.1.AHL.TZ0.H_7
    The folium of Descartes is a curve defined by the equation
    − 3xy = 0, shown in the following diagram.
    3 3
    x + y

    Determine the exact coordinates of the point P on the curve where the
    tangent line is parallel to the y-axis. [8]
