If you drew the graph for the Ferris wheel question and got the intersection points from that would they give you the 4 marks?

Hey guys, I sat the math advanced paper yesterday and after looking over the answers, predict I got around 75-80. Any thoughts on what this will scale to my exam mark.

Also they never taught us the identity: If cos(ax+b) = cos(c) then ax+b = c. So I don't understand why some solutions use that

that's not an identity mate that's common sense
I know if ln(ax+b)=ln(c) ax+b=c and if a^mx+b=a^c then mx+b=c but I didn't know it would apply to trigonometry too cause I never came across any past paper with that type of trigonometric equation

not neccessarily true and I don't think that 'identity' is even correct. The cos function has several cycles so the angles aren't neccessarily the same for the eqn that was given... you'd need to prove that the +2npi cases do not contribute...
exactly you have to think about the cosine and sine functions, also the 2npi cases don't contribute since they lie outside of the first full rotation

mb i only saw the 'identity' not the qn yall are talking ab. I lowkey just brute forced using compound angle

I don’t see why they wouldn’t give the four marks if you correctly graphed it and got the correct heights. Can anyone change my mind
They asked for decimals, which you can't get if you graph it since it wont be completely accurate

You find the times where they intersect exactly being 3 and 27 and then sub those in to the equation to get the exact heights

i thought the intersection points weren't exact? nvm I should have shifted it by a multiple of pi for this example
