  1. The circle \(C\) has equation
$$( x - 3 ) ^ { 2 } + ( y + 4 ) ^ { 2 } = 30$$ Write down
    1. the coordinates of the centre of \(C\),
    2. the exact value of the radius of \(C\). Given that the point \(P\) with coordinates \(( 6 , k )\), where \(k\) is a constant, lies inside circle \(C\), (b) show that $$k ^ { 2 } + 8 k - 5 < 0$$
  1. Hence find the exact set of values of \(k\) for which \(P\) lies inside \(C\).
