- The third term of an AP is 24 whilst the 7th is -12. Find the sum of the first 20 terms.
\[ a+2d=24 \\ a+6d=-12 \\ 4d=-36 \therefore d=-9 \text{ and }a=42 \\s_{20}=\frac{20}{2}(84+19(-9))=-870 \]

- \[ 4y^2+x^2=36 \\ y+kx=3 \\ \]Find the value(s) of k such that the line is a tangent to the ellipse.
The only way a line which intersects with the y axis at 3 can be tangent to an ellipse "centred" on the origin is if the tangent is parallel to the x axis so i.e. is of the form y= constant. \[k=0\]

- $y=3x-4$ is a tangent to a circle at the point (2,2). Given the centre has coords (k,1) find k and hence the equation of the circle.
The gradient of the tangent is 3 so the gradient of radius is $-\frac{1}{3}$ which implies that, as the centre is 1 unit down from (2,2), it is 3 units right i.e. at (2+3, 2-1) = (5,1). The radius is the distance between these two points $\sqrt{10}$ \[(x-5)^2+(y-1)^2=10\]

\ \text{Now} & x & \frac{x}{3} \\ \hline
\ \text{8 yrs ago} & x-8 & \frac{x}{3} - 8 \\ \hline
