Question 10: (a)(i) Prove tanA2=1−cosAsinA.(ii) Hence, without using calculator, find the value of tan15o. State your answer in the form p−√q , where p and q are constants.(b)(i) Sketch the graph of y=−32sinA for 0≤A≤2π.(ii) Hence, using the same axes, sketch a suitable straight line to find the number of solutions for the equation (cotA2)(1−cosA)=−A2π for 0≤A≤2π. State the number solutions.
Solution: (a)(i) Right hand side,1−cosAsinA=2sin2A22sinA2cosA2=sinA2cosA2=tanA2=(Left hand side)
