Part III Long Answer

Instructions: Answer each of the following questions as completely as you can. If your
work is too messy or disorganized and I cannot follow it, that question will not be graded
and will receive a mark of zero.

1. Solve y = 6 cos 2 θ − 7 cos θ − 3 on the interval 0° ≤ θ ≤ 360°. ( 4 marks )

2. In ∆MNP, ∠M = 13  , m = 12, and n = 15. Find all possible values of p. ( 5 marks )

3. The path of a basketball shot can be modeled by the equation

 h( d ) = −0.09 d 2 + 0.9d + 2

the ball from the player in meters. ( 5 marks )

a) What is the maximum height reached by the ball? *You must show your work*

Answer:____________________

b) What is the horizontal distance of the ball from the player when it reaches it’s
maximum height?
