5 @ Express 4sin@ — 3.c0s@ in the form Rsin(@ — a), where R > 0 and 0° < a < 90°, stating the
value of a correct to 2 decimal places.
Hence
i) solve the equation
Asin @ — 3.08 0
giving all values of 0 such that 0° < @ < 360°,
Git) write down the greatest value of =—5— eg

1 @ Show that the eq
sin(x — 60°) ~ eos(30° x) =
‘can be written in the form cos.x = k, where k is a constant
(il) Hence solve the equation, for 0° 0 and 0° < a < 90"
exact value of R and the value of « correct to 2 decimal places
i) Hence solve the equation
Teos@ + 24sin 8 = 15,
giving all solutions in the interval 0° < 8 < 360°.
