Do not use a calculator in this question.

(a)
Find the exact distance between the two points where the curve 9(x1)2+4(y3)2=369(x - 1)^{2} + 4(y - 3)^{2} = 36 cuts the yy-axis.

(b)
Find the coordinates of the points where the curve with equation 2x2+83xy=x3y20x2x^{2} + 83xy = x^{3}y - 20x intersects the curve with equation y=1xy = \dfrac{1}{x}. Give each of your answers in the form a+bca + b\sqrt{c}, where aa and bb are rational and cc is the smallest integer possible.
