Question 145

An unnumbered coordinate-axes graph of the curve y = 5 sin x° for the stated x-range, with a marked maximum point P(a,b).

The graph shows part of the curve with equation y=5sin⁡x∘y = 5 \sin x^\circy=5sinx∘. The point P P\,P is a maximum point on the curve with a a\,a being the negative value of x x\,x closest to zero at which a maximum occurs.

a.

State the value of a a\,a and the value of bbb.

[1]
b.

State the equation of the curve to which the curve with equation y=5sin⁡x∘y = 5 \sin x^\circy=5sinx∘ is transformed by (i) a translation parallel to the xxx-axis which maps P P\,P to (−302,5)(-302, 5)(−302,5) (ii) a stretch parallel to the xxx-axis which maps P P\,P to (−135,5)(-135, 5)(−135,5).
