A curve has equation $y=8 x+(2 x-1)^{-1}$. Find the values of $x$ at which the curve has a stationary point and determine the nature of each stationary point, justifying your answers. $[7]$

Question 7 Code: 9709/13/M/J/20/5, Topic: Circular measure

The diagram shows a cord going around a pulley and a pin. The pulley is modelled as a circle with centre $O$ and radius $5 \mathrm{~cm}$. The thickness of the cord and the size of the pin $P$ can be neglected. The pin is situated 13 cm vertically below $O$. Points $A$ and $B$ are on the circumference of the circle such that $A P$ and $B P$ are tangents to the circle. The cord passes over the major arc $A B$ of the circle and under the pin such that the cord is taut.
