Question
Consider the function f(x)=2sin2x+7sin2x+tanx−9, 0⩽x<π2.
Let u=tanx.
Determine an expression for f′(x) in terms of x.
Sketch a graph of y=f′(x) for 0⩽x<π2.
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 sinx in terms of μ.
Express sin2x in terms of u.
Hence show that f(x)=0 can be expressed as u3−7u2+15u−9=0.
Solve the equation f(x)=0, giving your answers in the form arctank where k∈Z.
