2. (a) Show that the equation
5 sin x = 1 + 2 cos2 x
can be written in the form
2 sin2 x + 5 sin x – 3 = 0

C2 Mathematics Edexcel January 2010 Question 3
3. f(x) = 2x3 + ax2 + bx - 6
where a and b are constants.
When f(x) is divided by (2x – 1) the remainder is –5.
When f(x) is divided by (x + 2) there is no remainder.
(a) Find the value of a and the value of b.
(b) Factorise f(x) completely.
C2 Mathematics Edexcel January 2010 Question 4
