Part (i):
1. Find the midpoint of AB:
\(\left( \frac{1+5}{2}, \frac{1+9}{2} \right) = (3, 5)\)
2. Calculate the gradient of AB:
\(\frac{9-1}{5-1} = 2\)
3. The gradient of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal:
\(-\frac{1}{2}\)
4. Use the point-slope form to find the equation:
\(y - 5 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 3)\)
5. Simplify to get:
\(2y = 13 - x\)
Part (ii):
1. Substitute the equation of the perpendicular bisector into the curve equation:
\(6\left( \frac{13-x}{2} \right) = 5x^2 - 18x + 19\)
2. Simplify and solve the quadratic equation:
\(5x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0\)
3. Factorize to find x:
\((x-4)(x+1) = 0\)
4. Solutions are x = 4 and x = -1.
5. Find corresponding y values:
For x = 4, \(y = 4.5\); for x = -1, \(y = 7\).
6. Calculate the distance CD:
\(CD^2 = (4 - (-1))^2 + (4.5 - 7)^2 = 5^2 + (-4.5)^2 = 25 + 6.25 = 31.25\)
7. Therefore, \(CD = \sqrt{\frac{125}{4}}\).
