Question
Consider the function f(x)=2sin2x+7sin2x+tanx−9, 0⩽.
Let u = \tan x.
Determine an expression for f’(x) in terms of x.
Sketch a graph of y = f’(x) for 0 \leqslant x < \frac{\pi }{2}.
Find the x-coordinate(s) of the point(s) of inflexion of the graph of y = f(x), labelling these clearly on the graph of y = f’(x).
Express \sin x in terms of \mu .
Express \sin 2x in terms of u.
Hence show that f(x) = 0 can be expressed as {u^3} - 7{u^2} + 15u - 9 = 0.
Solve the equation f(x) = 0, giving your answers in the form \arctan k where k \in \mathbb{Z}.
