Question:

a. Express 4sinθ − 6 cosθ in the form Rsin(θ − α), where R > 0 and 0° < α < 90°.

Give the exact value of R and the value of  correct to 2 decimal places.

b. Hence solve the equation 4sinθ − 6cosθ = 3 for 0° < θ < 180°.

c. Find the greatest and least values of (4sinθ − 6 cosθ)2 − 3 as θ varies.
