Question 8

(a) Copy and complete the table for the relation \(y = 2 \cos 2x - 1\).

x 30° 60° 90° 120° 150° 180°
\(y = 2\cos 2x - 1\) 1.0 0         1.0

(b) Using a scale of 2cm = 30° on the x- axis and 2cm = 1 unit on the y- axis, draw the graph of \(y = 2 \cos 2x - 1\) for \(0° \leq x \leq 180°\).

(c) On the same axis, draw the graph of \(y = \frac{1}{180} (x - 360)\)

(d) Use your graphs to find the : (i) values of x for which \(2 \cos 2x + \frac{1}{2} = 0\); (ii) roots of the equation \(2 \cos 2x - \frac{x}{180} + 1 = 0\).
