Question 1226:
(a)
In the diagram, AB // CD and BC // FE. \(\stackrel\frown{CDE} = 75°\) and \(\stackrel\frown{DEF} = 26°\). Find the angles marked x and y.
(b)
The diagram shows a circle ABCD with centre O and radius 7 cm. The reflex angle AOC = 190° and < DAO = 35°. Find :
(i) < ABC ; (ii) < ADC.
(c) Using the diagram in (b) above, calculate, correct to 3 significant figures, the length of : (i) arc ABC ; (ii) the chord AD. [Take \(\pi = 3.142\)].

    Question 1227:
    (a) Copy and complete the table of values for \(y = 3\sin x + 2\cos x\) for \(0° \leq x \leq 360°\).
    x 60° 120° 180° 240° 300° 360°
    y 2.00 2.00



    (b) Using a scale of 2 cm to 60° on x- axis and 2 cm to 1 unit on the y- axis, draw the graph of \(y = 3 \sin x + 2 \cos x\) for \(0° \leq x \leq 360°\).
    (c) Use your graph to solve the equation : \(3 \sin x + 2 \cos x = 1.5\).
    (d) Find the range of values of x for which \(3\sin x + 2\cos x < -1\).
