\end{figure} Figure 3 shows a sketch of the curve \(C\) with equation $$y = \frac { 1 } { 2 } x ^ { 2 } - 10 x + 22$$
  1. Write \(\frac { 1 } { 2 } x ^ { 2 } - 10 x + 22\) in the form $$a ( x + b ) ^ { 2 } + c$$ where \(a , b\) and \(c\) are constants to be found. The point \(M\) is the minimum turning point of \(C\), as shown in Figure 3.
  2. Deduce the coordinates of \(M\) The line \(l\) is the normal to \(C\) at the point \(P\), as shown in Figure 3.
    Given that \(l\) has equation \(y = k - \frac { 1 } { 8 } x\), where \(k\) is a constant,
    1. find the coordinates of \(P\)
    2. find the value of \(k\) Question 9 continues on the next page \begin{figure}[h]

      \end{figure} Figure 4 is a copy of Figure 3. The finite region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 4, is bounded by \(l , C\) and the line through \(M\) parallel to the \(y\)-axis.
  3. Identify the inequalities that define \(R\).
