5. y = x2 – 3x + 9 ...... ①
y = mx ...... ②
Substitute ① into ②.
x2 – 3x + 9 = mx
x2 – (3 + m)x + 9 = 0
Since y = mx is a tangent to
y = x2 – 3x + 9, b2 – 4ac = 0.
[–(3 + m)]2 – 4(1)(9) = 0
 m2 + 6m + 9 – 36 = 0
m2 + 6m – 27 = 0 1
(m – 3)(m + 9) = 0 1
m = 3 or –9
Based on the given graph, m = 3. 1
6. If y = x2 – px + 3p is always positive, the graph of y = x2 – px + 3p is
above the x-axis.

Then, b2 – 4ac < 0

It is given that the new mean is k.

Hence, k=k+2
