Worked solution
3(i)
1. Simplify the expression using the Pythagorean identity $\sin^2 A + \cos^2 A = 1$.
2. Apply the double angle formula to express in terms of $\cos 6x$.
Using , we have .
3(ii)
1. Express $\text{f}(x)$ in the form $a + b\cos 6x$ (from part i)
2. Set up the equation $\text{f}(x) = 3.5$ and find the basic angle
Basic angle
3. Find all possible values of $x$ in the given domain
Given , the domain for is .
Since is negative, lies in the 2nd and 3rd quadrants.
