  1. Prove that if \(z = \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \theta }\), then \(z ^ { n } + \frac { 1 } { z ^ { n } } = 2 \cos n \theta\).
  2. Express \(\cos ^ { 6 } \theta\) in terms of cosines of multiples of \(\theta\), and hence find the exact value of $$\int _ { 0 } ^ { \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi } \cos ^ { 6 } \theta \mathrm {~d} \theta$$
