    1. The point \(A\) on the curve is where \(x = 0\). State the \(y\)-coordinate of \(A\).
    2. Sketch, on the axes given on page 3, the graph of \(y = | \sec 2 x |\) for \(0 ^ { \circ } \leqslant x \leqslant 360 ^ { \circ }\).
  2. Solve the equation \(\sec x = 2\), giving all values of \(x\) in degrees in the interval \(0 ^ { \circ } \leqslant x \leqslant 360 ^ { \circ }\).
  3. Solve the equation \(\left| \sec \left( 2 x - 10 ^ { \circ } \right) \right| = 2\), giving all values of \(x\) in degrees in the interval \(0 ^ { \circ } \leqslant x \leqslant 180 ^ { \circ }\).
