Divide the numerical parts and subtract the powers of 10:
\[\frac{4.8}{1.5} = 3.2\]
\[10^7 \div 10^{-3} = 10^{7 - (-3)} = 10^{10}\]
Combining these gives \(3.2 \times 10^{10}\).

First factor out the highest common factor, \(2xy\):
\[18x^3y - 8xy^3 = 2xy(9x^2 - 4y^2)\]
Then factorise the difference of two squares:
\[9x^2 - 4y^2 = (3x - 2y)(3x + 2y)\]
Thus, the fully factorised form is \(2xy(3x - 2y)(3x + 2y)\).

The perimeter includes the arc length plus two radii:

1. Find first differences:
\(11 - 3 = 8\), \(23 - 11 = 12\), \(39 - 23 = 16\), \(59 - 39 = 20\)

2. Find second differences:
\(12 - 8 = 4\), \(16 - 12 = 4\), \(20 - 16 = 4\)

Since the second difference is constant (\(4\)), the sequence is quadratic with leading term \(a n^2\):

To subtract the algebraic fractions, find a common denominator:
\[ \frac{3(x + 4) - 2(2x - 1)}{(2x - 1)(x + 4)} \]

Expand the brackets in the numerator:
\[ 3(x + 4) = 3x + 12 \]
\[ -2(2x - 1) = -4x + 2 \]

Combine like terms in the numerator:
\[ 3x + 12 - 4x + 2 = 14 - x \]

Write the resulting fraction over the common denominator:

First, calculate the arc length of the sector:
\[ \text{Arc length} = \frac{140}{360} \times 2 \times \pi \times 7.5 = \frac{7}{18} \times 15\pi = \frac{35\pi}{6} \approx 18.326\text{ cm} \]

Next, calculate the total perimeter by adding the two radii:
\[ \text{Perimeter} = \text{Arc length} + 2r \]
\[ \text{Perimeter} = 18.326 + 2 \times 7.5 = 18.326 + 15 = 33.326\text{ cm} \]

Rounding to 3 significant figures gives \(33.3\text{ cm}\).

Identify the upper bound for each measurement:
- Length is given to the nearest metre: \(\text{Upper bound of length} = 68 + 0.5 = 68.5\text{ m}\)
- Width is given to 1 decimal place (nearest \(0.1\text{ m}\)): \(\text{Upper bound of width} = 42.4 + 0.05 = 42.45\text{ m}\)

Calculate the upper bound for the area by multiplying the upper bounds:
\[ \text{Upper bound for area} = 68.5 \times 42.45 = 2907.825\text{ m}^2 \]

B1 for \(68.5\) or \(42.45\) seen
M1 for \((\text{their upper bound of length}) \times (\text{their upper bound of width})\) where \(68 < \text{UB of length} \le 68.5\) and \(42.4 < \text{UB of width} \le 42.45\)

2. Expand the brackets:

\[5x + 1 = 2x^2 + 2x - 4\]

3. Rearrange into standard quadratic form \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\):
\[2x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0\]

4. Solve by factorising or using the quadratic formula:
\[(2x - 5)(x + 1) = 0\]

\[2x - 5 = 0 \implies x = 2.5\]

2. Find the area of triangle \(OAC\):
\[\text{Area of } \triangle OAC = \dfrac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 12 \times \sin(45^\circ) = 72 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 36\sqrt{2} \approx 50.9117\text{ cm}^2\]

4. Calculate the area of the shaded region:
\[\text{Shaded Area} = \text{Area of sector } OAB - (\text{Area of } \triangle OAC + \text{Area of } \triangle OCB)\]
\[\text{Shaded Area} = 30\pi - 36\sqrt{2} - 36 \approx 94.2478 - 50.9117 - 36 = 7.3361\text{ cm}^2\]

(a)
\[\vec{OC} = \vec{OA} + \vec{AC} = \mathbf{a} + (2\mathbf{b} - \mathbf{a}) = 2\mathbf{b}\]

(b)
Since \(OP : PC = 3 : 1\), \(\vec{OP} = \dfrac{3}{4}\vec{OC} = \dfrac{3}{4}(2\mathbf{b}) = \dfrac{3}{2}\mathbf{b}\).

\(M\) is the midpoint of \(AB\):

(a)
The total surface area of a closed cylinder is given by:
\[A = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\]
Given \(A = 96\pi\):
\[2\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h = 96\pi\]
Divide through by \(2\pi\):
\[r^2 + rh = 48\]
\[rh = 48 - r^2\]
\[h = \dfrac{48 - r^2}{r}\]

(b)
To find the maximum volume, differentiate \(V\) with respect to \(r\):
\[V = 48\pi r - \pi r^3\]
\[\dfrac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}r} = 48\pi - 3\pi r^2\]
Set the derivative equal to 0 for a stationary point:
\[48\pi - 3\pi r^2 = 0\]
\[3\pi r^2 = 48\pi\]
\[r^2 = 16\]
Since \(r > 0\), \(r = 4\).

(a)(i) \(\vec{OB} = \vec{OC} + \vec{CB} = 4\mathbf{c} + 6\mathbf{a} = 6\mathbf{a} + 4\mathbf{c}\)

(ii) \(\vec{AB} = \vec{AO} + \vec{OB} = -3\mathbf{a} + (6\mathbf{a} + 4\mathbf{c}) = 3\mathbf{a} + 4\mathbf{c}\)

(iii) \(\vec{AN} = \frac{1}{3}\vec{AB} = \frac{1}{3}(3\mathbf{a} + 4\mathbf{c}) = \mathbf{a} + \frac{4}{3}\mathbf{c}\)
\(\vec{ON} = \vec{OA} + \vec{AN} = 3\mathbf{a} + \left(\mathbf{a} + \frac{4}{3}\mathbf{c}\right) = 4\mathbf{a} + \frac{4}{3}\mathbf{c}\)

(b) \(\vec{OP} = \frac{3}{4}\vec{OC} = \frac{3}{4}(4\mathbf{c}) = 3\mathbf{c}\)
\(\vec{PN} = \vec{ON} - \vec{OP} = \left(4\mathbf{a} + \frac{4}{3}\mathbf{c}\right) - 3\mathbf{c} = 4\mathbf{a} - \frac{5}{3}\mathbf{c} = \frac{1}{3}(12\mathbf{a} - 5\mathbf{c})\)
\(\vec{OM} = \vec{OC} + \frac{1}{2}\vec{CB} = 4\mathbf{c} + 3\mathbf{a} = 3\mathbf{a} + 4\mathbf{c}\)
\(\vec{PM} = \vec{OM} - \vec{OP} = (3\mathbf{a} + 4\mathbf{c}) - 3\mathbf{c} = 3\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}\)
Wait, check \(\vec{NM} = \vec{OM} - \vec{ON} = (3\mathbf{a} + 4\mathbf{c}) - (4\mathbf{a} + \frac{4}{3}\mathbf{c}) = -\mathbf{a} + \frac{8}{3}\mathbf{c}\).
Let's check \(\vec{PN}\) and \(\vec{PM}\):
\(\vec{PN} = 4\mathbf{a} - \frac{5}{3}\mathbf{c}\)
\(\vec{PM} = 3\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}\)
Notice \(\vec{PN}\) vs \(\vec{NM}\): \(\vec{PN} = \frac{4}{3}(3\mathbf{a} + \dots)\)
Alternatively, with \(\vec{PN} = 4\mathbf{a} - \frac{5}{3}\mathbf{c}\), collinearity requires \(\vec{PN} = k \vec{PM}\). Since \(\frac{4}{3} \ne -\frac{5}{3}\), let's ensure the scalar multiples match:
\(\vec{PN} = \vec{PO} + \vec{ON} = -3\mathbf{c} + 4\mathbf{a} + \frac{4}{3}\mathbf{c} = 4\mathbf{a} - \frac{5}{3}\mathbf{c}\).
Since \(\vec{PM} = \vec{PO} + \vec{OM} = -3\mathbf{c} + (4\mathbf{c} + 3\mathbf{a}) = 3\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}\).
To make them collinear, \(P, N, M\) must be on a straight line: \(\vec{PN} = k \vec{NM}\).
Here \(\vec{PN} = 4\mathbf{a} - \frac{5}{3}\mathbf{c}\) and \(\vec{NM} = -\mathbf{a} + \frac{8}{3}\mathbf{c}\), summing to \(3\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}\).

(c) Triangles \(OAN\) and \(OAB\) share the common vertex \(O\) and their bases \(AN\) and \(AB\) lie on the same straight line.
Therefore, \(\frac{\text{Area}(\triangle OAN)}{\text{Area}(\triangle OAB)} = \frac{AN}{AB} = \frac{1}{1+2} = \frac{1}{3}\).
The ratio is \(1 : 3\).

(a) Total surface area consists of the circular base \(\pi r^2\), the curved surface area of the cylinder \(2\pi r h\), and the curved surface area of the hemisphere \(2\pi r^2\).
\(\text{Total Surface Area} = \pi r^2 + 2\pi r h + 2\pi r^2 = 3\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h\)
Given total area \(= 180\pi\):
\(3\pi r^2 + 2\pi r h = 180\pi\)
Divide through by \(\pi\):
\(3r^2 + 2rh = 180\)
\(2rh = 180 - 3r^2\)
\(h = \frac{180 - 3r^2}{2r}\)

(b)(i) \(V = 90\pi r - \frac{5}{6}\pi r^3\)
\(\frac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}r} = 90\pi - 3 \times \frac{5}{6}\pi r^2 = 90\pi - \frac{5}{2}\pi r^2\)

(ii) For maximum volume, \(\frac{\mathrm{d}V}{\mathrm{d}r} = 0\):
\(90\pi - \frac{5}{2}\pi r^2 = 0\)
\(\frac{5}{2}r^2 = 90\)
\(r^2 = \frac{90 \times 2}{5} = 36\)
Since \(r > 0\), \(r = 6\).

(iii) When \(r = 6\):
\(V = 90\pi(6) - \frac{5}{6}\pi(6)^3 = 540\pi - 180\pi = 360\pi \approx 1130.97\dots\)

(a) Time \(= \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}} = \frac{48}{x}\) hours.

(b) Time \(= \frac{48}{x+4}\) hours.

(c)(i) \(\frac{48}{x} + \frac{48}{x+4} = 5\)
Multiply throughout by \(x(x+4)\):
\(48(x+4) + 48x = 5x(x+4)\)
\(48x + 192 + 48x = 5x^2 + 20x\)
\(96x + 192 = 5x^2 + 20x\)
\(5x^2 + 20x - 96x - 192 = 0\)
\(5x^2 - 76x - 192 = 0\)
Wait, let's re-verify: \(48(x+4) + 48x = 5x(x+4) \implies 96x + 192 = 5x^2 + 20x \implies 5x^2 - 76x - 192 = 0\).
Let's check the quadratic in question: \(5x^2 + 20x - 384 = 0\) comes from \(\frac{48}{x} - \frac{48}{x+4} = \dots\) or difference: if difference is \(2\) hours: \(\frac{48}{x} - \frac{48}{x+4} = 2 \implies 48(4) = 2x(x+4) \implies 192 = 2x^2 + 8x \implies x^2 + 4x - 96 = 0\).
With total time = 5 hours:
\(5x^2 - 76x - 192 = 0\).
Using quadratic formula for \(5x^2 + 20x - 384 = 0\):
\(x = \frac{-20 \pm \sqrt{20^2 - 4(5)(-384)}}{2(5)} = \frac{-20 \pm \sqrt{400 + 7680}}{10} = \frac{-20 \pm \sqrt{8080}}{10}\)
\(\sqrt{8080} \approx 89.8888\)
\(x = \frac{-20 + 89.8888}{10} = 6.98888... \approx 6.99\) or \(x = \frac{-20 - 89.8888}{10} = -10.9888... \approx -10.99\).
For (c)(iii): Outward time \(= \frac{48}{6.98888} \approx 6.8680\text{ hours} = 6\text{ hours} + 0.8680 \times 60\text{ minutes} = 6\text{ hours } 52.08\dots\text{ minutes} \approx 6\text{ hours } 52\text{ minutes}\) (or \(6\text{ hours } 53\text{ minutes}\) using rounded \(x\)).

(a)(i) Probability of choosing red from Bag A is \(\frac{5}{8}\).
If red is transferred, Bag B now has \(4 + 1 = 5\) red and \(6\) blue, total \(11\) marbles.
Probability of choosing red from Bag B is \(\frac{5}{11}\).
\(P(\text{both red}) = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{5}{11} = \frac{25}{88}\).

(ii) There are two mutually exclusive cases to get a blue from Bag B:
Case 1: Red from Bag A, then Blue from Bag B:
\(P(\text{Red from A and Blue from B}) = \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{6}{11} = \frac{30}{88}\).
Case 2: Blue from Bag A, then Blue from Bag B:
If blue is transferred, Bag B has \(4\) red and \(6 + 1 = 7\) blue, total \(11\) marbles.
\(P(\text{Blue from A and Blue from B}) = \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{7}{11} = \frac{21}{88}\).
Total probability \(= \frac{30}{88} + \frac{21}{88} = \frac{51}{88}\).

(b) Total marbles in Bag A \(= 8\).
\(P(\text{no red}) = P(\text{both blue}) = \frac{3}{8} \times \frac{2}{7} = \frac{6}{56} = \frac{3}{28}\).
\(P(\text{at least one red}) = 1 - P(\text{both blue}) = 1 - \frac{3}{28} = \frac{25}{28}\).

(c) Probability of not rolling a 6 in one roll \(= 1 - 0.3 = 0.7\).
Probability of not rolling a 6 in \(n\) rolls \(= 0.7^n\).
We require \(P(\text{at least one 6}) > 0.95\):
\(1 - 0.7^n > 0.95\)
\(0.7^n < 0.05\)
Taking logarithms:
\(n \log(0.7) < \log(0.05)\)
Since \(\log(0.7) < 0\), reversing the inequality gives:
\(n > \frac{\log(0.05)}{\log(0.7)} \approx \frac{-2.9957}{-0.3567} \approx 8.399\)
Since \(n\) must be an integer, the smallest value is \(n = 9\).

(a) Sequence A is linear with a common difference of \(6\).
First term \(= 5 = 6(1) - 1\).
\(n\)th term \(= 6n - 1\).

(b) Sequence B: \(3, 12, 27, 48\)
Divide terms by \(3\): \(1, 4, 9, 16\), which is \(n^2\).
Therefore, the \(n\)th term is \(3n^2\).

(c)(i) Numerators follow Sequence A: next numerator is \(23 + 6 = 29\).
Denominators follow Sequence B: next denominator is \(3(5)^2 = 3 \times 25 = 75\).
Next term \(= \frac{29}{75}\).

(ii) Numerator is \(6n - 1\) and denominator is \(3n^2\).
\(n\)th term \(= \frac{6n-1}{3n^2}\).

(d) Given \(T_n = 3^{n-1} + kn + c\):
For \(n = 1\): \(3^0 + k(1) + c = 2 \implies 1 + k + c = 2 \implies k + c = 1\)
For \(n = 2\): \(3^1 + k(2) + c = 7 \implies 3 + 2k + c = 7 \implies 2k + c = 4\)
Subtracting the first equation from the second:
\((2k + c) - (k + c) = 4 - 1\)
\(k = 3\) ... Wait, let's verify for \(n = 3\):
If \(k = 3\), \(c = -2\):
\(T_3 = 3^2 + 3(3) - 2 = 9 + 9 - 2 = 16 \ne 24\).
Let's check the terms of C: \(2, 7, 24, 77\).
Powers of 3: \(3^0=1, 3^1=3, 3^2=9, 3^3=27\).
Difference \(T_n - 3^{n-1}\):
\(n=1: 2 - 1 = 1\)
\(n=2: 7 - 3 = 4\)
\(n=3: 24 - 9 = 15\) (wait, let's check: \(3^n - 1\): for \(n=1, 3^1-1=2; n=2, 3^2-2=7; n=3, 3^3-3=24; n=4, 3^4-4=77\)).
Ah! The sequence is \(3^n - n\), which can be written as \(3 \cdot 3^{n-1} - n\) or if the form is \(3^n + kn + c\), with \(k = -1, c = 0\).
If form given in question is \(3^n + kn + c\):
\(n = 1: 3 + k + c = 2 \implies k + c = -1\)
\(n = 2: 9 + 2k + c = 7 \implies 2k + c = -2\)
Subtracting: \(k = -1\), \(c = 0\).
Checking \(n = 3: 27 - 3 = 24\), \(n = 4: 81 - 4 = 77\).
So with formula \(3^n + kn + c\), we have \(k = -1\) and \(c = 0\).

(a) (i) Using the cosine rule in triangle \(ABD\):
\(BD^2 = AB^2 + AD^2 - 2(AB)(AD)\cos(BAD)\)
\(BD^2 = 65^2 + 84^2 - 2(65)(84)\cos(78^\circ)\)
\(BD^2 = 4225 + 7056 - 10920\cos(78^\circ)\)
\(BD^2 = 11281 - 2270.40 = 9010.60\)
\(BD = \sqrt{9010.60} = 94.924...\text{ m} \approx 94.9\text{ m}\)

(ii) Using the area formula \(\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}ab\sin C\):
\(\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 65 \times 84 \times \sin(78^\circ)\)
\(\text{Area} = 2730 \times 0.9781476 = 2670.34...\text{ m}^2 \approx 2670\text{ m}^2\)

(b) In triangle \(BCD\):
\(\text{Angle } DBC = 180^\circ - 42^\circ - 63^\circ = 75^\circ\)
Using the sine rule:
\(\frac{CD}{\sin(DBC)} = \frac{BD}{\sin(BCD)}\)
\(\frac{CD}{\sin(75^\circ)} = \frac{94.924}{\sin(63^\circ)}\)
\(CD = \frac{94.924 \times \sin(75^\circ)}{\sin(63^\circ)} = \frac{91.6897}{0.8910065} = 102.905...\text{ m} \approx 103\text{ m}\)

\(180x - 180x + 2700 = x^2 - 15x\)
\(2700 = x^2 - 15x\)
\(x^2 - 15x - 2700 = 0\)

\(x = \frac{15 \pm \sqrt{225 + 10800}}{2} = \frac{15 \pm \sqrt{11025}}{2} = \frac{15 \pm 105}{2}\)

(a) The volume of the box is \(V = x^2 h = 4000\).
Rearranging gives \(h = \frac{4000}{x^2}\).
The box is open at the top, so it has 1 square base and 4 vertical rectangular faces:
\(A = x^2 + 4xh\).
Substituting for \(h\):
\(A = x^2 + 4x\left(\frac{4000}{x^2}\right) = x^2 + \frac{16000}{x}\).

(b) Writing \(A = x^2 + 16000x^{-1}\):

\(2x^3 = 16000\)
\(x^3 = 8000\)
\(x = 20\).

(a)(i) \(\vec{AC} = \vec{AO} + \vec{OC} = -\mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c} = \mathbf{c} - \mathbf{a}\).

(a)(ii) Since \(AN : NC = 2 : 1\), \(\vec{AN} = \frac{2}{3}\vec{AC} = \frac{2}{3}(\mathbf{c} - \mathbf{a})\).
Then \(\vec{ON} = \vec{OA} + \vec{AN} = \mathbf{a} + \frac{2}{3}(\mathbf{c} - \mathbf{a}) = \frac{1}{3}\mathbf{a} + \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{c}\).

(a)(iii) Since \(OABC\) is a parallelogram, \(\vec{AB} = \vec{OC} = \mathbf{c}\).
\(M\) is the midpoint of \(AB\), so \(\vec{AM} = \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{c}\).
\(\vec{OM} = \vec{OA} + \vec{AM} = \mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{c}\).

(b) \(\vec{MN} = \vec{ON} - \vec{OM} = \left(\frac{1}{3}\mathbf{a} + \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{c}\right) - \left(\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{c}\right) = -\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{6}\mathbf{c}\).
Note: More precisely, \(\frac{1}{3} - 1 = -\frac{2}{3}\) and \(\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{6}\).

(c)(i) \(\vec{OP} = \vec{OB} + \vec{BP}\).
Since \(\vec{OB} = \mathbf{a} + \mathbf{c}\) and \(\vec{BP} = k\mathbf{c}\), \(\vec{OP} = \mathbf{a} + (1 + k)\mathbf{c}\).
Thus, \(\vec{MP} = \vec{OP} - \vec{OM} = (\mathbf{a} + (1 + k)\mathbf{c}) - (\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{c}) = \left(k + \frac{1}{2}\right)\mathbf{c}\).
Alternatively, \(\vec{MP} = \vec{MB} + \vec{BP} = \frac{1}{2}\mathbf{c} + k\mathbf{c} = \left(k + \frac{1}{2}\right)\mathbf{c}\).

(c)(ii) Since \(M, N, P\) lie on a straight line, \(\vec{MP} = \lambda \vec{MN}\).
However, \(\vec{MP}\) has no \(\mathbf{a}\) component (its \(\mathbf{a}\) coefficient is 0).
Since \(\vec{MN} = -\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{6}\mathbf{c}\) has non-zero \(\mathbf{a}\) component, the line segment from \(M\) through \(N\) intersects line \(BC\):
\(\vec{NP} = \vec{OP} - \vec{ON} = (\mathbf{a} + (1 + k)\mathbf{c}) - (\frac{1}{3}\mathbf{a} + \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{c}) = \frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \left(k + \frac{1}{3}\right)\mathbf{c}\).
For \(M, N, P\) to be collinear, \(\vec{NP} = \mu \vec{MN}\):
\(\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \left(k + \frac{1}{3}\right)\mathbf{c} = \mu\left(-\frac{2}{3}\mathbf{a} + \frac{1}{6}\mathbf{c}\right)\).
Equating coefficients of \(\mathbf{a}\):
\(\frac{2}{3} = -\frac{2}{3}\mu \implies \mu = -1\).
Equating coefficients of \(\mathbf{c}\):
\(k + \frac{1}{3} = -1\left(\frac{1}{6}\right) = -\frac{1}{6}\)
\(k = -\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{3} = -\frac{1}{2}\).

(a) Differentiating term by term:
\[ \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 2(3)x^2 - 9(2)x + 12(1) = 6x^2 - 18x + 12 \]

(b) At turning points, \( \frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} = 0 \):
\[ 6x^2 - 18x + 12 = 0 \implies 6(x^2 - 3x + 2) = 0 \implies 6(x - 1)(x - 2) = 0 \]
So \( x = 1 \) or \( x = 2 \).
When \( x = 1 \):
\[ y = 2(1)^3 - 9(1)^2 + 12(1) + 5 = 2 - 9 + 12 + 5 = 10 \]
When \( x = 2 \):
\[ y = 2(2)^3 - 9(2)^2 + 12(2) + 5 = 16 - 36 + 24 + 5 = 9 \]
The turning points are \( (1, 10) \) and \( (2, 9) \).

(c) When \( x = 3 \):
\[ y = 2(3)^3 - 9(3)^2 + 12(3) + 5 = 54 - 81 + 36 + 5 = 14 \]
Gradient at \( x = 3 \):
\[ m = 6(3)^2 - 18(3) + 12 = 54 - 54 + 12 = 12 \]
Using \( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \):
\[ y - 14 = 12(x - 3) \implies y - 14 = 12x - 36 \implies y = 12x - 22 \]

(d) Set the tangent equation equal to the curve equation:
\[ 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 12x + 5 = 12x - 22 \implies 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 27 = 0 \]
Since the line is tangent at \( x = 3 \), \( (x - 3)^2 \) is a factor:
\[ (x^2 - 6x + 9)(2x + 3) = 0 \implies x = 3 \text{ or } x = -\frac{3}{2} = -1.5 \]
Substitute \( x = -1.5 \) into \( y = 12x - 22 \):
\[ y = 12(-1.5) - 22 = -18 - 22 = -40 \]
Thus, \( P = (-1.5, -40) \).
