  1. Use the identity for \(\cos ( A + B )\) to prove that $$4 \cos \left( \theta + 60 ^ { \circ } \right) \cos \left( \theta + 30 ^ { \circ } \right) \equiv \sqrt { 3 } - 2 \sin 2 \theta .$$
  2. Hence find the exact value of \(4 \cos 82.5 ^ { \circ } \cos 52.5 ^ { \circ }\).
  3. Solve, for \(0 ^ { \circ } < \theta < 90 ^ { \circ }\), the equation \(4 \cos \left( \theta + 60 ^ { \circ } \right) \cos \left( \theta + 30 ^ { \circ } \right) = 1\).
  4. Given that there are no values of \(\theta\) which satisfy the equation $$4 \cos \left( \theta + 60 ^ { \circ } \right) \cos \left( \theta + 30 ^ { \circ } \right) = k ,$$ determine the set of values of the constant \(k\). \footnotetext{Permission to reproduce items where third-party owned material protected by copyright is included has been sought and cleared where possible.
