(i) Most students realised they needed the auxiliary angle

method. Common errors included:
-evaluating tan incorrectly and having 1/sqrt(3)
-not finding all the solutions in the given domain.
(ii) Some had the incorrect formula.
An inaccurate graph resulted in the wrong number of solutions.

Using Newton's Method done well on the whole. Some
students did not use the given starting value and so were
incorrect.
The most common mistake was not using the double

angle formula correctly.
The most common error was to differentiate the given function in

terms of t.
Half a mark was deducted if no statement about sign of v was
included.
