Worked solution
4(a)
1. Solve the trigonometric inequality for the given domain.
For , the critical value is .
Since is increasing in this domain, the solution is:
2. Use the result of the inequality to split the definite integral and remove the absolute value.
Since for and for :
3. Perform the integration of the trigonometric functions.
4. Evaluate the definite integral exactly by substituting the limits.
and
4(b)
1. Differentiate the substitution and express the integrand's denominator in terms of $x$.
Given , differentiating gives:
Using the double angle identity , we substitute into the expression inside the square root:
Since , this becomes .
2. Substitute into the integral to complete the "show that" part.
3. Change the limits of integration and evaluate the definite integral using standard forms.
Change the limits of integration from to :
When , .
When , .
Evaluating the definite integral:
4. Equate the evaluated integral to $\frac{\pi}{4}$ and solve for $\alpha$.
We are given that the integral evaluates to :
Given the restriction :
