  1. Express \(4 \sin \theta \sin \left( \theta + 60 ^ { \circ } \right)\) in the form $$a + R \sin ( 2 \theta - \alpha ) ,$$ where \(a\) and \(R\) are positive integers and \(0 ^ { \circ } < \alpha < 90 ^ { \circ }\).

  2. Hence find the smallest positive value of \(\theta\) satisfying the equation $$\frac { 1 } { 5 } + 4 \sin \theta \sin \left( \theta + 60 ^ { \circ } \right) = 0 .$$ If you use the following lined page to complete the answer(s) to any question(s), the question number(s) must be clearly shown.
