9c. A’O = AO
OB’ = OB 1A for correct proof with reason
∠A’OB’ = ∠AOB’ = 90° 0A for wrong proof

g ( x )=q ( x −(3−5) x −3)+3 x + 4

Hence x 2 −(m+ n) x−m is a factor of f ( x )−g ( x ) . 1A

13bii. f ( x )=g ( x )
f ( x )−g ( x )=0

If is an integer, then q−5 must be even, since 5 is odd number , 1M

then q must be odd also.

Hence it is. 1A
