Problem 373
373

A line has equation \(y = 6x - c\) and a curve has equation \(y = cx^2 + 2x - 3\), where \(c\) is a constant. The line is a tangent to the curve at point \(P\).

Find the possible values of \(c\) and the corresponding coordinates of \(P\).

Problem 375
375

The equation of a curve is \(y = 4x^2 - kx + \frac{1}{2}k^2\) and the equation of a line is \(y = x - a\), where \(k\) and \(a\) are constants.

Given that the curve and the line intersect at the points with \(x\)-coordinates 0 and \(\frac{3}{4}\), find the values of \(k\) and \(a\).

377

The diagram shows the curve \(y = 7\sqrt{x}\) and the line \(y = 6x + k\), where \(k\) is a constant. The curve and the line intersect at the points \(A\) and \(B\).

For the case where \(k = 2\), find the \(x\)-coordinates of \(A\) and \(B\).
