Sample answer:

The roots are a ib and a 2ib

The sum of the roots is
( a + 2ib ) + ( a 2ib ) + ( a + ib ) + ( a ib ) = 4
4a = 4
a =1
The product of the roots is
( a + 2ib )( a 2ib )( a + ib )( a ib ) = 10
( a 2 + 4b 2 )( a 2 + b 2 ) = 10
But a = 1,
(1+ 4b 2 )(1+ b 2 ) = 10
4b 4 + 5b 2 + 1 10 = 0

Provides correct solution

Explains the connection between T2n (x) and cos ( 2n ) , or equivalent
merit
Sample answer:

T2n ( x ) = cos ( 2n cos1 x )

put = cos1 x, so x = cos in (i)
noting that sin 2k = ( sin 2 )

As the angles are in the range 0 to and are distinct these solutions are distinct. (Given that
cosx is decreasing for 0 x .)
We have 2n distinct solutions of a polynomial of degree 2n, and so these are all the roots.
As we have a polynomial of even degree, the product of the roots is the constant term divided
by the leading term. We may find the constant term by setting x = 0, obtaining ( 1)n .
The coefficients of x 2n are
