8. (a) Express \(9 \cos \theta - 2 \sin \theta\) in the form \(R \cos ( \theta + \alpha )\), where \(R > 0\) and \(0 < \alpha < \frac { \pi } { 2 }\). Give the exact value of \(R\) and give the value of \(\alpha\) to 4 decimal places.
(b) (i) State the maximum value of \(9 \cos \theta - 2 \sin \theta\)
(ii) Find the value of \(\theta\), for \(0 < \theta < 2 \pi\), at which this maximum occurs. Ruth models the height \(H\) above the ground of a passenger on a Ferris wheel by the equation $$H = 10 - 9 \cos \left( \frac { \pi t } { 5 } \right) + 2 \sin \left( \frac { \pi t } { 5 } \right)$$ where \(H\) is measured in metres and \(t\) is the time in minutes after the wheel starts turning.

(c) Calculate the maximum value of \(H\) predicted by this model, and the value of \(t\), when this maximum first occurs. Give your answers to 2 decimal places.
(d) Determine the time for the Ferris wheel to complete two revolutions.
