TopicTrig Graphs & Exact Values
TypeUse trapezium rule with trig function
DifficultyModerate -0.8 This is a straightforward application of the trapezium rule with values provided in a table, combined with sketching a standard trig graph. Both parts require only routine procedures: (a) sketching y=sin(2x) using standard transformations and finding x-intercepts, (b) applying the trapezium rule formula with given y-values. No problem-solving or novel insight needed, making it easier than average.

5. (a) Sketch the graph of \(y = \sin 2 x , \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant \frac { 3 \pi } { 2 }\) Show the coordinates of the points where your graph crosses the \(x\)-axis. The table below gives corresponding values of \(x\) and \(y\), for \(y = \sin 2 x\).
The values of \(y\) are rounded to 3 decimal places where necessary.

5. (a) Sketch the graph of $y = \sin 2 x , \quad 0 \leqslant x \leqslant \frac { 3 \pi } { 2 }$

Show the coordinates of the points where your graph crosses the $x$-axis.

The table below gives corresponding values of $x$ and $y$, for $y = \sin 2 x$.\\
The values of $y$ are rounded to 3 decimal places where necessary.

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ | c | c | c | c | c | }
\hline
$x$ & 0 & $\frac { \pi } { 12 }$ & $\frac { \pi } { 6 }$ & $\frac { \pi } { 4 }$ \\
\hline
$y$ & 0 & 0.5 & 0.866 & 1 \\
