- 3(a)(i)Let p = i - j. If q = λi + 2j, find values of λ such that q is parallel to p.[1 mark]
- 3(a)(ii)q is perpendicular to p.[2 marks]
- 3(a)(iii)the angle between p and q is π/3.[5 marks]
- 3(c)(i)Using the formula for sin A + sin B, show that if t = 2 cos θ then sin (n + 1) θ = t sin nθ – sin (n − 1) θ.[2 marks]
- 3(c)(ii)Hence, show that sin 3θ = (t² − 1) sin θ.[2 marks]
- 3(c)(iii)Using (c) (ii) above, or otherwise, find ALL solutions of sin 3θ = sin θ, 0 ≤ θ ≤ π.[7 marks]
