On the grid below, draw on the same axes, for 0° ≤ x ≤ 180°, the graphs of y = sinx and y = 1 + cos 2x. [Figure 2.1]
- (i)On the grid below, draw on the same axes, for 0° ≤ x ≤ 180°, the graphs of y = sinx and y = 1 + cos 2x. [Figure 2.1][3]
- (ii)State the number of roots of the equation sinx = 1 + cos 2x for 0° ≤ x ≤ 180°.[1]
- (iii)Without extending your graphs state the number of roots of the equation sinx = 1 + cos 2x for 0° ≤ x ≤ 360°.[1]
