  1. In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.
  1. Solve, for \(0 \leq x < 360 ^ { \circ }\), the equation $$\sin x \tan x = 5$$ giving your answers to one decimal place.
  2. \begin{figure}[h]

    \end{figure} Figure 1 shows a sketch of part of the curve with equation $$y = A \sin \left( 2 \theta - \frac { 3 \pi } { 8 } \right) + 2$$ where \(A\) is a constant and \(\theta\) is measured in radians.
    The points \(P , Q\) and \(R\) lie on the curve and are shown in Figure 1.
    Given that the \(y\) coordinate of \(P\) is 7
    (a) state the value of \(A\),
    (b) find the exact coordinates of \(Q\),
    (c) find the value of \(\theta\) at \(R\), giving your answer to 3 significant figures.
