2    Write the equation of the line perpendicular to 2x + 3y = 16 that passes through (-1,2).

3    Write the equation of the circle with centre (2,3) and radius 5.

4    Show that x2 + 8x + y2 – 6y = 24 is a circle by finding its centre and radius.

5    Identify and classify the stationary values of y = 2x5 + 5x4 – 10x3 .

6    The curve y = (x - 3) (x + 1) has a tangent at x = 2. Find the equation of this line and state its intercepts.
