WAEC 2014

(a) Copy and complete the table of values for the relation \(y = 2 \sin x + 1\)

x 30° 60° 90° 120° 150° 180° 210° 240°

270°

y 1.0       2.7     0.0 -0.7  

(b) Using scales of 2 cm to 30° on  the x- axis and 2 cm to 1 unit on the y- axis, draw the graph of \(y = 2 \sin x + 1, 0° \leq x \leq 270°\).

(c) Use the graph to find the values of x for which \(\sin x = \frac{1}{4}\).

Explanation

(a) 

x 30° 60° 90° 120° 150° 180° 210° 240°

270°

y 1.0 2.0 2.7 3.0 2.7 2.0 1.0 0.0 -0.7 -1.0

(b) 

(c) \(\sin x = \frac{1}{4}\) (Given)

Multiply through by 2 ; \(2 \sin x = 2 \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{1}{2}\)

\(2 \sin x = \frac{1}{2} \implies 2 \sin x - \frac{1}{2} = 0\)

Add \(1\frac{1}{2}\) to both sides ;

\(2 \sin x - \frac{1}{2} + 1\frac{1}{2} = 0 + 1\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\implies 2 \sin x + 1 = 1\frac{1}{2}\)

Draw the line \(y = 1\frac{1}{2}\) on the same axis as \(y = 2 \sin x + 1\). The line \(y = 1\frac{1}{2}\) cuts the curve at points P and Q where x = 15° and x = 168°. Hence, the values of x for which \(\sin x = \frac{1}{4}\)are 15° and 168°.
