    1. M1: 2x = 30 and 2x = 150 (symmetry of the graph)
    2. M1: add 360: 2x = 390 and 2x = 510
    3. A1: x = 15, x = 75, x = 195 and x = 255
    Answer: x = 15, x = 75, x = 195 and x = 255

    1. M1: f(-x) reflects in the y-axis, -f(-x) then reflects in the x-axis
    2. A1: (-3, -8)
    3. B1: minimum
    Answer: (-3, -8), a minimum
    Reflections in the x- & y-Axes

  4. Question 4. The diagram shows a circle.
    PAB is a straight line.
    PT is a tangent to the circle at T.
    Prove that triangles PTA and PBT are similar.

    1. B1: angle TPA = angle BPT (common to both triangles)
    2. B1: angle PTA = angle PBT (alternate segment theorem)
    3. C1: two pairs of equal angles, so the triangles are similar
    Answer: Two pairs of equal angles, so triangles PTA and PBT are similar
