 g) (i) range of 𝑔: [-1 ; 1]  (1)
(ii) amplitude of 𝑓: = 1 (1)
(iii) period of 𝑔: = 360° (1)
h) Values of 𝑥 in the interval −240° ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 240° for which 𝑓(𝑥) > 𝑔(𝑥).
ANSWER: (−120° ; 0°)  (2)
i) The transformation 𝑔(𝑥) = 𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝑥 + 30°) to form ℎ, where ℎ(𝑥) = −𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑥.
ANSWER: 𝑔 must be:
→ horizontally shifted 60° to the left (+60°) 
→ reflected about the 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠.  (2)
[𝑠𝑖𝑛(𝑥° + 30° + 60°] = sin(𝑥 + 90°) = cos(𝑥) , 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛 (−1) × cos(𝑥) = ℎ(𝑥)
(multiplying by −1 ≡ 𝑟𝑒𝑓𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑥 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠)
j) SOLUTION: 𝑖𝑓 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥) for 𝑥 ∈ [−240°; 240°]
𝒙 = {−120° ; 0° ; 240°}  (3)
