Question:
(a) Sketch the graph of y = 1.5 cos ( x 60 ) in the interval 0 x < 360
(b) Write down the coordinates of the points where your graph meets the coordinate axes.
Solution:
(a)
(b)
When x = 0 ,
y = 1.5 cos ( 60 ) The graph of y = 1.5 cos ( x 60 ) meets the y axis
= 0.75 when x = 0. Substitute x = 0 into y = 1.5 cos ( x 60 )
so ( 0 , 0.75 ) so that y = 1.5 cos ( 60 ) . cos ( 60 )
1 1
y = 1.5 cos ( x 60 ) = cos 60 = 2
so y = 1.5 2
= 0.75
y = 0, The graph of y = 1.5 cos ( x 60 ) meets the x-axis
when x = 90 + 60 when y = 0. cos ( x 60 ) represents a translation of
= 150 cos x by + 60 in the x-direction cos x meets the x-axis at
90 and 270 , so y = 1.5 ( cos x 60 ) meets the x-
and x = 270 + 60
axis at 90 + 60 = 150 and 270 + 60 = 330 .
= 330

Exercise A, Question 30
Question:
\3
Without using a calculator, solve sin ( x 20 ) = 2 in the interval 0 x 360 .
Solution:
\3
sin 60 = 2
\3
sin x = 2
. sin x is negative in the 3rd and 4th
quadrants.
\3
sin ( 240 ) = 2
\3
sin ( 300 ) = 2
