6. (a) Use de M oivre's Theorem to show that $$\sin 5 \theta = 16 \sin ^ { 5 } \theta - 20 \sin ^ { 3 } \theta + 5 \sin \theta .$$ (b) Hence or otherwise, prove that the only real solutions of the equation $$\sin 5 \theta = 5 \sin \theta ,$$ are given by \(\theta = n \tau\), where \(n\) is an integer.
