  1. Show that the equation \(1 + \sin x \tan x = 5 \cos x\) can be expressed as $$6 \cos ^ { 2 } x - \cos x - 1 = 0$$
  2. Hence solve the equation \(1 + \sin x \tan x = 5 \cos x\) for \(0 ^ { \circ } \leqslant x \leqslant 180 ^ { \circ }\). The equation of a curve is \(y = x ^ { 3 } + a x ^ { 2 } + b x\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants.
