METHOD 1

attempt to substitute both coordinates (in any order) into f     (M1)

eg     f(π4)=6, π4=sin(6+π4)+k

correct working     (A1)

eg     sinπ2=1, 1+k=6

k=5     A1     N2

[3 marks]

METHOD 2

recognizing shift of π4 left means maximum at 6     R1)

recognizing k is difference of maximum and amplitude     (A1)

eg     61

k=5     A1     N2

[3 marks] 

a.

evidence of appropriate approach     (M1)

eg     minimum value of sinx is 1, 1+k, f(x)=0, (5π4, 4)

minimum value is 4     A1     N2

b.

p=π4, q=5 (accept (π45))     A1A1     N2
