8 The expression \(\mathrm { f } ( \theta )\) is defined by \(\mathrm { f } ( \theta ) = 12 \sin \theta \cos \theta + 16 \cos ^ { 2 } \theta\).
- Express \(\mathrm { f } ( \theta )\) in the form \(R \cos ( 2 \theta - \alpha ) + k\), where \(R > 0,0 < \alpha < \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\) and \(k\) is a constant. State the values of \(R\) and \(k\), and give the value of \(\alpha\) correct to 4 significant figures.
- Find the smallest positive value of \(\theta\) satisfying the equation \(\mathrm { f } ( \theta ) = 17\).
- Find \(\int f ( \theta ) d \theta\).
