Question
The following graph shows the two parts of the curve defined by the equation x2y=5−y4, and the normal to the curve at the point P(2 , 1).
Show that there are exactly two points on the curve where the gradient is zero.
Find the equation of the normal to the curve at the point P.
The normal at P cuts the curve again at the point Q. Find the x-coordinate of Q.
The shaded region is rotated by 2π about the y-axis. Find the volume of the solid formed.
Markscheme
differentiating implicitly: M1
2xy+x2dydx=−4y3dydx A1A1
Note: Award A1 for each side.
if dydx=0 then either x=0 or y=0 M1A1
x=0⇒ two solutions for y(y=±4√5) R1
y=0 not possible (as 0 ≠ 5) R1
hence exactly two points AG
Note: For a solution that only refers to the graph giving two solutions at x=0 and no solutions for y=0 award R1 only.
