The curve C has polar equation \(r = 3 + 2 \sin \theta\), for \(-\pi < \theta \leq \pi\).

(a) The diagram shows part of C. Sketch the rest of C on the diagram.

The straight line l has polar equation \(r \sin \theta = 2\).

(b) Add l to the diagram in part (a) and find the polar coordinates of the points of intersection of C and l.

(c) The region R is enclosed by C and l, and contains the pole. Find the area of R, giving your answer in exact form.

The curve C has equation \(y = \frac{x^2}{x-3}\).

  1. (a) Find the equations of the asymptotes of C.
  2. (b) Show that there is no point on C for which \(0 < y < 12\).
  3. (c) Sketch C.
  4. (d)
    1. Sketch the graphs of \(y = \left| \frac{x^2}{x-3} \right|\) and \(y = |x| - 3\) on a single diagram, stating the coordinates of the intersections with the axes.
    2. Use your sketch to find the set of values of \(c\) for which \(\left| \frac{x^2}{x-3} \right| \leq |x| + c\) has no solution.

The points A, B, C have position vectors

\(2\mathbf{i} + 2\mathbf{j}, \quad -\mathbf{j} + \mathbf{k} \quad \text{and} \quad 2\mathbf{i} + \mathbf{j} - 7\mathbf{k}\)

respectively, relative to the origin O.
