Question:
a. Express sinθ − 3cosθ in the form Rsin(θ − α ), where R > 0 and 0° < α < 90°.
Give the exact value of R and the value of α correct to 2 decimal places.
b. Hence solve the equation sinθ − 3cosθ = −2 for 0°< θ <360°.
c. Find the greatest possible value of 1+ sin2θ − 3cos 2θ as θ varies and determine the smallest positive value of θ for which this greatest value occurs.
