Section A: Basic Concepts and Identities

1. Given $\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5}$ and $\theta$ is obtuse ($90^\circ < \theta < 180^\circ$).

• $\cos^2 \theta = 1 - \sin^2 \theta = 1 - \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)^2 = 1 - \frac{9}{25} = \frac{16}{25}$.
• Since $\theta$ is obtuse, $\cos \theta$ is negative.
• $\cos \theta = -\sqrt{\frac{16}{25}} = -\frac{4}{5}$. [1]
• $\tan \theta = \frac{\sin \theta}{\cos \theta} = \frac{3/5}{-4/5} = -\frac{3}{4}$. [2]
  • Answer: $\cos \theta = -\frac{4}{5}, \tan \theta = -\frac{3}{4}$

2. $2\sin^2 x - \sin x - 1 = 0$

• Factorise: $(2\sin x + 1)(\sin x - 1) = 0$. [1]
• Case 1: $\sin x = 1 \Rightarrow x = 90^\circ$. [1]
• Case 2: $\sin x = -\frac{1}{2}$. Reference angle $30^\circ$. Sin is negative in 3rd and 4th quadrants.
  • $x = 180^\circ + 30^\circ = 210^\circ$.
  • $x = 360^\circ - 30^\circ = 330^\circ$. [1]
  • Answer: $x = 90^\circ, 210^\circ, 330^\circ$

3. $3\cos \theta - 4\sin \theta = R\cos(\theta + \alpha) = R(\cos \theta \cos \alpha - \sin \theta \sin \alpha)$.

• $R\cos \alpha = 3$ and $R\sin \alpha = 4$.
• $R = \sqrt{3^2 + 4^2} = \sqrt{25} = 5$. [1]

• Answer: $5\cos(\theta + 53.13^\circ)$. [1]

4. LHS: $\frac{\sin 2A}{1 + \cos 2A}$

• Use double angle formulas: $\sin 2A = 2\sin A \cos A$ and $\cos 2A = 2\cos^2 A - 1$. [1]
• Denominator: $1 + (2\cos^2 A - 1) = 2\cos^2 A$. [1]
• LHS $= \frac{2\sin A \cos A}{2\cos^2 A} = \frac{\sin A}{\cos A} = \tan A =$ RHS. [1]

5. Principal value of $\sin^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)$.

• Range of $\sin^{-1}$ is $[-\frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2}]$.

• $\tan \alpha = \sqrt{3}/1 \Rightarrow \alpha = \frac{\pi}{3}$.
• $2\sin(x + \frac{\pi}{3}) = 1 \Rightarrow \sin(x + \frac{\pi}{3}) = \frac{1}{2}$. [1]
• Let $u = x + \frac{\pi}{3}$. $\sin u = \frac{1}{2}$.
• Basic angle $\frac{\pi}{6}$. Solutions for $u$ in relevant range: $\frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}$.
