Trigonometry — practice question

(a)[4]

Given that $x > 0$, Find the two smallest values of $x$, measured in radians, that satisfy $3\tan(2x + 1) = 1$. Show all necessary working.

(b(i))[1]

For $0 \leq x \leq \pi$, the function $f$ is given by $f : x \mapsto 3\cos^2 x - 2\sin^2 x$. Express $f(x)$ in the form $a\cos^2 x + b$, where $a$ and $b$ are constants.

(b(ii))[2]

Find the range for $f$.
