(a)
The curve y=asinbx+cy = a\sin bx + c has a period of 180°180^{\degree}, an amplitude of 2020 and passes through the point (90°,3)(90^{\degree}, -3). Find the value of each of the constants aa, bb and cc.

(b)
The function gg is defined, for 135°x135°-135^{\degree} \le x \le 135^{\degree}, by g(x)=3tanx24g(x) = 3\tan\tfrac{x}{2} - 4. Sketch the graph of y=g(x)y = g(x) on the axes below, stating the coordinates of the point where the graph crosses the yy-axis.
