1. **Circle Theorem Problem:**
State the problem: In circle $O$, chord $AB$ subtends an angle of $40^\circ$ at point $C$ on the circumference. Find the angle subtended by the same chord $AB$ at the center $O$.
2. Formula and rules: The angle subtended by a chord at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended at any point on the circumference.
3. Work:
$$\angle AOB = 2 \times \angle ACB = 2 \times 40^\circ = 80^\circ$$
4. Explanation: The angle at the center is always twice the angle at the circumference for the same chord.

5. **Collinear Points Problem:**
State the problem: Given points $A(1,2)$, $B(3,6)$, and $C(k,10)$, find the value of $k$ such that points $A$, $B$, and $C$ are collinear.
6. Formula and rules: Points are collinear if the slope between $AB$ equals the slope between $BC$.
7. Work:
$$\text{slope}_{AB} = \frac{6-2}{3-1} = \frac{4}{2} = 2$$
$$\text{slope}_{BC} = \frac{10-6}{k-3} = \frac{4}{k-3}$$
Set equal:
$$2 = \frac{4}{k-3}$$
Multiply both sides:
$$2 \times (k-3) = 4$$
$$\cancel{2} \times (k-3) = \cancel{4}$$
$$k-3 = 2$$
$$k = 5$$
8. Explanation: The value $k=5$ makes the slopes equal, so points are collinear.

9. **Orthogonal Vectors Problem:**
State the problem: Given vectors $\mathbf{u} = (2, -3)$ and $\mathbf{v} = (x, 4)$, find $x$ such that $\mathbf{u}$ and $\mathbf{v}$ are orthogonal.
10. Formula and rules: Two vectors are orthogonal if their dot product is zero.
11. Work:
$$\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{v} = 2 \times x + (-3) \times 4 = 0$$
$$2x - 12 = 0$$
$$2x = 12$$
$$x = 6$$
12. Explanation: When $x=6$, the dot product is zero, so vectors are orthogonal.
