You must show detailed reasoning in every question.

1. Find all the angles between 0 and 360 such that


(a) sec x = 2.5 [2]
(b) cosec x = −1.5

2. Solve the equation cot y = 3 for −  y   . [2]

3. Solve the equation sec2 x + tan x = 1 for 0  x  2 . [5]

(b) Sketch the graphs of y = cot x and y = sin x for 0  x  360 on the same
axes, and indicate the roots found in part (i) on your graph. [3]

5. A function is defined by f ( x) = 2arccos x −1 .
