Show your working and give your answer correct to three decimal places. [4]
2. (a) Show, by counter-example, that the statement
cos 2θ ≡ 1 − 2 cos2 θ
is false. [2]
(b) Find all values of θ in the range 0° X θ X 360° satisfying

(i) Find d y in terms of t.
dx
dy
(ii) Given that = 1 , show that t3 + 4t – 2 = 0. [5]

The recurrence relation
2 − tn3
t n +1 =

with t0 = 0·5 can be used to find α. Find and record the values of t1, t2, t3, t4. Write down the
value of t4 correct to four decimal places and prove that this value is the value of α correct
to four decimal places. [7]
