  1. Express \(4 \cos \theta - \sin \theta\) in the form \(R \cos ( \theta + \alpha )\), where \(R > 0\) and \(0 ^ { \circ } < \alpha < 90 ^ { \circ }\).
  2. Hence solve the equation \(4 \cos \theta - \sin \theta = 2\), giving all solutions for which \(- 180 ^ { \circ } < \theta < 180 ^ { \circ }\).
