2. (i) Show that the equation

𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 − 4 4𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃
− =0
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 5𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 − 2

Can be expressed as 9𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝜃 − 22𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃 + 4 = 0

(ii) Hence solve the equation

𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃−4 4𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃
− = 0 for 00 ≤ 𝜃 ≤ 3600
𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃 5𝑐𝑜𝑠𝜃−2

4. Consider the vectors ⃗⃗⃗𝑎 and ⃗⃗⃗

𝑏.
𝑎 = 2𝑖̂ − 𝑗̂ − 𝑘̂ ,

𝑏⃗ = 𝑖̂ − 𝑗̂ − 𝑘̂
Find whether they are parallel, perpendicular or neither.
