. If θ= 2 then 3θ= 6
so 3θ= π − 6 is also a possibility. Hence θ= 2 3

The answer is D.
6 Basic graph is sine or cosine.
Period is T, so A and E are eliminated.
Amplitude is 2a so C is eliminated.
Check B ⇒ amplitude of −2a produces reflected cosine graph with no horizontal translation.
This fits
Check D ⇒ Need a sine graph translated 2
π to the right.
In this case the translation has to be a function of T so D cannot be correct.
The answer is B.
7 If x = a is one solution to an equation of the form cos(2x) = k, then x = −a will also be a solution. The third solution will be a period beyond x = −a at x = −a + π.
So the two adjacent solutions are x = a and x = −a + π. The difference between them will be (−a + π) – a = π – 2a The answer is E.

c is the horizontal translation which is two months left so c = 2
