(i)
The curve y=a+bsincxy = a + b\sin cx has an amplitude of 44 and a period of π3\tfrac{\pi}{3}. Given that the curve passes through the point (π12,2)\left(\tfrac{\pi}{12}, 2\right), find the value of each of the constants aa, bb and cc.

(ii)
Using your values of aa, bb and cc, sketch the graph of y=a+bsincxy = a + b\sin cx for 0xπ0 \le x \le \pi radians.
