Express 2 cos x – sin x in the form Rcos( x + a ), where R and a are constants, R > 0 and a is between 0 and 90 ° Give the exact value of R and give the value of to 2 decimal places.

2cosx - sinx = Rcos(x+a) = Rcos(x)cos(a)-Rsin(x)sin(a)

Implying

2cos(x)=Rcos(x)cos(a)

Rcosa = 2

Similarly: Rsin(a) = 1

Therefore tan(a) = 1/2

Meaning a=26.57 Degr...

A particle is moving along a straight line. The fixed point O lies on this line. The displacement of the particle from O at time t seconds is s metres where s = 2t3 – 12t2 + 7t(a) Find an expression for the velocity, v m/s, of the particle at time t.

To find velocity you differentiate displacement with respect to time

Therefore ds/dt = v = (3x2)t2-(12x2)t2+7

Implying v = 6t2-24t+7
