22 The graph of \(\;y = a\cos(x + b)^\circ\;\) for \(\;0 \leqslant x \leqslant 360\;\) is drawn on the grid.

(a) Find the value of \(a\) and the value of \(b\). (2)
Another curve \(C\) has equation \(\;y = \mathrm{f}(x)\)
The coordinates of the minimum point of \(C\) are (4, 5)
(b) Write down the coordinates of the minimum point of the curve with equation
(i) \(y = \mathrm{f}(2x)\)
(ii) \(y = \mathrm{f}(x) - 7\)
