Section A Questions X 10 @ 6 marks Section B Questions X 5 @ 10 marks note:Section B --the teacher will choose the best 4 questions to be the marks =================================== Section A 1. Find the general solution of the equation 10 sec^2 x - 3=17 tan x . (我竟然忘了 >>sec^2 x = 1 - tan^2 x .........>< )
4.If sin 3x = p and sin^2 x = 3/4 - q ,prove that p^2 + 16 q^3 = 12 q^2 . (唔識...)
6. Find the general solution of sin x - sin 2x = sin 4x - sin 3x . (唔識...)
7. Prove that 4 tan^-1 1/5 - tan^-1 1/239 = π/4 without using calculator. (唔識...)
Section B 11. In a triangle a= 4.832 , b= 2.186 , A-B=34∘24’ . Solve the triangle ABC . (Hints : Use Sine formula and simplify a-b/a+b ) (唔識...) ===================================
4.If sin 3x = p and sin^2 x = 3/4 - q ,prove that p^2 + 16 q^3 = 12 q^2 . sin 3x = sin (2x+x) = sin 2x cos x + cos 2x sin x = (2 sin x cos x) cos x + (1 - 2 sin^2 x) sin x = 2 sin x cos^2 x + sin x - 2 sin^3 x = 2 sin x (1 - sin^2 x) + sin x - 2 sin^3 x = 2 sin x - 2 sin^3 x + sin x - 2 sin^3 x = 3 sin x - 4 sin^3 x (由於下面的steps太難show出來,因此我用文字講講計法) 然後從「sin^2 x = 3/4 - q」計出sin x。 再把這term substitue到「3 sin x - 4 sin^3 x = p」, 再simplify便可以。
