4. The curve C has equation y  , where  is a positive constant.
x
(i) Using an algebraic method, find the set of values that y can take, leaving your answer
in terms of  [3]
(ii) Sketch the curve, showing the asymptotes, turning points and axial intercepts. [3]
(iii) Hence, determine the range of values of m, where m > 0 for which the equation
x2
 m( x   )  2 has two real roots. [1]
x  
Solution

k
x
kx  k   x 2
x 2  kx  k   0

For the line to intersect the curve, this equation must have real roots,

i.e. Discriminant  0
k 2  4  k    0
k  k  4   0 4 0 k

Since   0, k  4 or k  0

i.e.the required set of values of y is y : y  , y  4 or y  0

x x
Asymptotes: x   , y  x  
When x = 0, y = 0 y

  , 2 

Since ( , 2 ) is the point


of symmetry, the max point
has coordinates  2 , 4 

Add the line y = m( x   )  2 which passes through ( , 2 ) with gradient m.
x2
For the equation  m( x   )  2 to have two real roots,
x  
the line y = m( x   )  2 has to be ‘steeper than’ the line y  x   (of gradient 1) so that it can
cut the curve at 2 distinct points.

Thus m > 1
