Standard +0.3 This is a straightforward application of standard double angle formulae. Part (i) uses the compound angle expansion (sin A + cos A)² = 1 + sin 2A with A=22.5°. Part (ii) applies the standard identity cos 2θ = 1 - 2sin²θ, then solves a simple quadratic factorization. All techniques are routine C3 material with no novel insight required, making it slightly easier than average.
6. (i) Without using a calculator, find the exact value of
$$\left( \sin 22.5 ^ { \circ } + \cos 22.5 ^ { \circ } \right) ^ { 2 }$$

(ii) (a) Show that \(\cos 2 \theta + \sin \theta = 1\) may be written in the form

(b) Hence solve, for \(0 \leqslant \theta < 360 ^ { \circ }\), the equation
$$\cos 2 \theta + \sin \theta = 1$$

Substitutes \(\cos 2\theta = 1 - 2\sin^2 \theta\) in \(\cos 2\theta + \sin \theta = 1\) to produce an equation in \(\sin \theta\) only. It is acceptable to use \(\cos 2\theta = 2\cos^2 \theta - 1\) or \(\cos^2 \theta - \sin^2 \theta\) as long as the \(\cos^2 \theta\) is subsequently replaced by \(1 - \sin^2 \theta\).
