Thank you. 2h was definitely not enough…literally panicking after seeing this

For 15, I got to sin2x>0 by expanding the bracket, could be wrong though, probs multiple methods.

Yes i got this. If you solve for x, there are no solutions that are obtuse, hence the contradiction!

Yea any valid method will do

Same. I think you could use that and then say for obtuse x u can't pos sin2x

Can someone make this into a document with marks ??
12c isn’t 18. You had to 5-1.44 then input that value of h. H wasn’t 5
is there another value for 14b of 450° as it's the sin2x graph for [360,540] ?

In the q it said x≠ 450

No you didn't since the model takes that into account with +c so it's 18 and H=5

Yh 490.7
Someone pls make a docccc
By the way, the negative log is still valid because x^2 makes any answer positive. So, there are no invalid answers!

h was 5 as it was a model for the total height not change in height. Otherwise h^3/2 would be 0 when t = 0
