The maths

A common mistake the examiners point out: Trigonometric equations: missing solutions (obtuse, general or divided away). What to do instead: Sketch the function over the whole interval and count intersections before solving. Factorise rather than divide by a trig function (dividing loses the solutions where it is zero).
