A line has equation \(y = 2x + 3\) and a curve has equation \(y = cx^2 + 3x - c\), where \(c\) is a constant.
Showing all necessary working, determine which of the following statements is correct.
A. The line and curve intersect only for a particular set of values of \(c\).
B. The line and curve intersect for all values of \(c\).
C. The line and curve do not intersect for any values of \(c\).
The equation of a curve is \(y = (2k - 3)x^2 - kx - (k - 2)\), where \(k\) is a constant. The line \(y = 3x - 4\) is tangent to the curve.
Find the value of \(k\).
A line has equation \(y = 3x + k\) and a curve has equation \(y = x^2 + kx + 6\), where \(k\) is a constant.
Find the set of values of \(k\) for which the line and curve have two distinct points of intersection.
A curve has equation \(y = 3x^2 - 4x + 4\) and a straight line has equation \(y = mx + m - 1\), where \(m\) is a constant.
Find the set of values of \(m\) for which the curve and the line have two distinct points of intersection.
The equation of a curve is \(y = 2x^2 + m(2x + 1)\), where \(m\) is a constant, and the equation of a line is \(y = 6x + 4\).
Show that, for all values of \(m\), the line intersects the curve at two distinct points.
