Given that dydx=cosx-π4 and y=2 when x=3π4, find y in terms of x.

Markscheme / solution

METHOD 1

recognition that y=cosx-π4dx                 (M1)

y=sinx-π4+c                 (A1)

substitute both x and y values into their integrated expression including c                 (M1)

2=sinπ2+c

c=1

y=sinx-π4+1                 A1

 

METHOD 2

2ydy=3π4xcosx-π4dx                 (M1)(A1)

y-2=sinx-π4-sinπ2                 A1

y=sinx-π4+1                 A1
