4.Let a = sin b, 0 < b < pi/2.
Find, in terms of b, the solutions of sin 2x =
...
So far I just tried to do the obvious and substitute -a for - sin b. Like so;
sin 2x = - sin b
which then becomes;
sin 2x = sin -b
and then I can remove the sines and rearrange for x, which gives me this.
2x = -b
x = -b/2
However, if I were to look at the domain of b. Any value within the domain will give a value that doesn't fit the domain of x. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you!

6.Draw an Epicycloid graph based on the given integer values of s, a, b, and n, where b cannot be
...
onnect a line between every two consecutive points (xi, yi) and (xi+1, yi+1), where 0 <= i <= n.
xi = s * ((a + b) * cos (i * PI) - b * cos ((a + b) / b * i * PI))
yi = s * ((a + b) * sin (i * PI) - b * sin ((a + b) / b * i * PI))
Verify with s = 10, a = 19, b = 5, n = 1000 to get this displayed result.
Note that the sin and cos trigonometry functions accept a radiant value not angle. For example, 30 degree should be replaced with PI/180*30 instead. Moreover, the divisions inside the functions need to be kept in double not int precision in order to render a correct result.
