  1. Differentiate each of the following with respect to \(x\) and simplify your answers.
    1. \(\frac { 6 } { \sqrt { 2 x - 7 } }\)
    2. \(x ^ { 2 } \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }\)
    3. (i) Prove the identity
    $$\sqrt { 2 } \cos ( x + 45 ) ^ { \circ } + 2 \cos ( x - 30 ) ^ { \circ } \equiv ( 1 + \sqrt { 3 } ) \cos x ^ { \circ }$$
  2. Hence, find the exact value of \(\cos 75 ^ { \circ }\) in terms of surds.
