SECTION A

1. Determine the radian measure of the angle α =− 1350 degrees.

The formula for sin( AB )is

sin ( A − B ) =sin( A )cos ( B ) −cos( A )sin ( B ).

Using this formula or otherwise find the exact value for sin( α ), without using

tables or a calculator. (Show all your working.)

Hence determine all the angles θ , in the range [ 0 0 , 3600 ]satisfying

cos ( θ ) = sin( α ). Your answers can be expressed in degrees or radians.

[7 marks]

2. Sketch the graph of y = sin( x )in the range− π ≤ x ≤ π. Determine

numerically the solutions of sin( x ) = 1 / 3 and of sin ( x ) =− 1 / 3 in the same

range. You may express your answers in degrees or radians. [7 marks]

3. Find the domain of x for which both the functions log 3 ( x ) and log 3 ( 3 x − 21 )

are defined. Find the only valid solution to the equation

log 3 ( 3 x − 21 ) +log 3 ( x ) = 2.

[6 marks]

4. You are given the values of log 3 ( 24 )= 2. 892789 and log 3 ( 4 )= 1. 261859 ,

correct to six decimal places. Obtain (rounded to 4 decimal places) the values of the following

log 3 ( 96 ), log 3 ( 6 ), log 3 ( 16 )

without using logarithm functions on your calculator. (Show all your working.) [6 marks]

5. Write down the first seven rows of Pascal’s triangle. Hence or otherwise find

the coefficient of x^4 in the expansion of
