      sin x 0 0.5 0.87 1 0.87 0.5 0 -0.5 -0.87 -1 -0.8 0.5 0
      2 sin (x+30) 1 1.73 2 1.73 1 0 -1 -1.73 -2 -1.73 -1 0 1
      (2mks)
    2. On the same axes, draw the graphs of y = sin x and y = 2 sin (x+30) 0º ≤ x ≤ 360º (5mks)
      11
    3. From the graph, find the roots of
      2 sin (x + 30) – sin x = 0 (1mk)
      x = 126º or 306º
    4. Describe fully the transformation that maps the graph of
      Y = sin x onto that of Y = 2 sin (x + 30º) (2mks)
      Stretch parallel to the y axis scale factor 2, followed by translation
