Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.

The locus of is the circle with centre and radius .
For the locus of , the equation means equal distances from and . The midpoint of is , and has gradient .
Its perpendicular bisector therefore has gradient and equation
Draw this line and the circle on the same Argand diagram, with the centres, reference points and scale clearly marked.

The midpoint of lies on the perpendicular bisector, and the line from to this midpoint is perpendicular to that bisector.
Thus the distance from the circle centre to the line is
Since this exceeds the radius , the least distance between the loci is
