Higher November 2024 Paper 1 Q21
21 Here is a sketch of the graph of \(\quad y = \tan x \quad\) where \(\quad 0^\circ \leqslant x \leqslant 360^\circ\)

You are given that \(\quad\) tan 78.69° = 5
(a) Work out the other value of \(x\) where \(\;\tan x = 5\;\) and \(\;0^\circ \leqslant x \leqslant 360^\circ\) [1 mark]
(b) Work out the two values of \(x\) where \(\;\tan x = -5\;\) and \(\;0^\circ \leqslant x \leqslant 360^\circ\) [2 marks]
