Using 5cos(x−53.1∘)=2: cos(x−53.1∘)=0.4 x−53.1∘=66.4∘,293.6∘ x=119.5∘,346.7∘

Hmm, that's messy. Let me use a cleaner circle:

This gives irrational coordinates. Let me adjust the question to give nicer numbers. The answer key should reflect the actual question. Let me provide the answer for the question as written:
x=1±214 y=x+1=2±214

15. Locus of P: distance from A(2,1) is twice distance from B(−1,4). Show it's a circle, find centre and radius.
[5 marks]
Answer: Centre (−2,5), Radius =25
Working:
Let P(x,y). PA=2PB (x−2)2+(y−1)2=2(x+1)2+(y−4)2
Square both sides: (x−2)2+(y−1)2=4[(x+1)2+(y−4)2] x2−4x+4+y2−2y+1=4(x2+2x+1+y2−8y+16) x2+y2−4x−2y+5=4x2+8x+4+4y2−32y+64 0=3x2+12x+3y2−30y+63 0=x2+4x+y2−10y+21 (x2+4x+4)+(y2−10y+25)=−21+4+25 (x+2)2+(y−5)2=8
Centre (−2,5), radius 8=22
Wait, let me recalculate: x2+y2−4x−2y+5=4x2+8x+4+4y2−32y+64 0=3x2+12x+3y2−30y+63
Divide by 3: 0=x2+4x+y2−10y+21 (x+2)2−4+(y−5)2−25+21=0 (x+2)2+(y−5)2=8
Centre (−2,5), radius =8=22

Working:
Let x = distance of foot from wall, y = height of top. x2+y2=52=25
Differentiate w.r.t. t: 2xdtdx+2ydtdy=0 dtdy=−yxdtdx
When x=3: y=25−9=4 dtdx=0.2 m/s dtdy=−43×0.2=−0.15 m/s

19. Prove the sine rule: sinAa=sinBb=sinCc.
[4 marks]
Proof:
In triangle ABC, draw altitude h from C to side AB.
In right triangle ADC: sinA=bh⟹h=bsinA
In right triangle BDC: sinB=ah⟹h=asinB
Therefore bsinA=asinB⟹sinAa=sinBb
Similarly, by drawing altitude from A to BC, we get sinBb=sinCc
Hence sinAa=sinBb=sinCc
Marking:
M1: Draw altitude and express h in terms of b and sinA
M1: Express h in terms of a and sinB
M1: Equate to get sinAa=sinBb
