The question as text

9. y O x M Figure 5 In this question you must show all stages of your working. Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable. Figure 5 shows the curve with equation + x π < x < 3 π y = 1 2 cos – 2 + x 2 1 sin The point M, shown in Figure 5, is the minimum point on the curve.
