This implies that f is one-to-one and therefore the line 0y will cut the graph exactly once, which implies that f 0 x has exactly one real root. Using the GC, the root is at 1.33 x (3 s.f.). (iii) When tangent is parallel to the line 2 3 y x , the tangent has gradient 2.

(ii) The equation describes the set of points with position vector r, where the points lie on a plane with a normal vector n, at a distance d units away from the origin. (iii) Since 0b n iɶ ɶ , the line is not parallel to the plane, hence there is a point of intersection between the line and the plane. , Substitute into : Since 0, t d t d t d t d t d dt r a b r n r a b r n a b n a n b n b n b n a n a n b n dt a n r a b a b b n r is the position vector of the point of intersection between the line with direction vector b, passing through the point with position vector a, and the plane with normal n, at a distance d units from the origin.
