Question
The following diagram shows the graph of \(f(x) = a\sin bx + c\), for \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 12\).
The graph of \(f\) has a minimum point at \((3,{\text{ }}5)\) and a maximum point at \((9,{\text{ }}17)\).
The graph of \(g\) is obtained from the graph of \(f\) by a translation of \(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} k \\ 0 \end{array}} \right)\). The maximum point on the graph of \(g\) has coordinates \((11.5,{\text{ }}17)\).
The graph of \(g\) changes from concave-up to concave-down when \(x = w\).
(i) Find the value of \(c\).
(ii) Show that \(b = \frac{\pi }{6}\).
(iii) Find the value of \(a\).
(i) Write down the value of \(k\).
(ii) Find \(g(x)\).
(i) Find \(w\).
(ii) Hence or otherwise, find the maximum positive rate of change of \(g\).
