Trigonometric Functions

NOTE: Do not leave this until the night before. Please write detailed solutions, written using correct
notation, as you would in an examination. You are not just being judged by your answers.

1. A formula for the depth d metres of water in a harbour at a time t hours after midnight is

æp ö
d = P + Q cos ç t ÷, 0 £ t £ 24,
è6 ø

where P and Q are positive constants. In the following graph the point (6, 8.2) is a minimum
point and the point (12, 14.6) is a maximum point.

d

(6, 8.2)
5

0 6 12 18 24 t

(a) Find the value of

(i) Q;

(ii) P.

(b) Use your calculators to find the first time in the 24-hour period when the depth of the
water is 10 metres.

(c) (i) Use the symmetry of the graph to find the next time when the depth of the water is
10 metres.

(ii) Hence find the time intervals in the 24-hour period during which the water is less
than 10 metres deep.

2. The diagram below shows a curve with equation y = 1 + k sin x, defined for 0 ≤ x ≤ 3π.

You should not use a calculator with this question.

æπ ö
The point A ç ,-2 ÷ lies on the curve and B(a, b) is the maximum point.
è6 ø

(a) Show that k = –6.

(b) Hence, find the values of a and b.

3. The following diagram represents a large Ferris wheel at an amusement park.


The points P, Q and R represent different positions of a seat on the wheel.
This question requires a calculator.

The wheel has a radius of 50 metres and rotates clockwise at a rate of one revolution every 30 minutes.

A seat starts at the lowest point P, when its height is one metre above the ground.

(a) Find the height of a seat above the ground after 15 minutes.

(b) After six minutes, the seat is at point Q. Find its height above the ground at Q.

The height of the seat above ground after t minutes can be modelled by the function

h(t) = 50 sin (b(t – c)) + 51.

(c) Find the value of b and of c.

(d) Hence, find the value of t the first time the seat is 96 m above the ground.
