GRADE 12 TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTION EXAM PRACTICE
Question 1
Consider the graph of f(x) = cos x + 1 for [ −90° ;270°]
1.1 Write down the range and period of f.
1.2 Describe the transformations applied to the basic graph of cosx to obtain the graph f(x)=cosx+1
1.3 Show that cos x + 1 = sin (2x+90°) can be rewritten as (2 cos x + 1) cos x = 0.
1.4 Hence, or otherwise, determine the general solution of cos x + 1 = sin (2x+90°).
