Question
A particle moves along a straight line. Its displacement, ss metres, at time tt seconds is given by s=t+cos2t, t⩾0. The first two times when the particle is at rest are denoted by t1 and t2, where t1<t2.
Find t1 and t2.

s=t+cos2t
dsdt=1−2sin2t M1A1
=0 M1
⇒sin2t=12
t1=π12(s), t2=5π12(s) A1A1
Note: Award A0A0 if answers are given in degrees.
