  1. Write down the formula for \(\tan 2 x\) in terms of \(\tan x\).
  2. By letting \(\tan x = t\), show that the equation $$4 \tan 2 x + 3 \cot x \sec ^ { 2 } x = 0$$ becomes $$3 t ^ { 4 } - 8 t ^ { 2 } - 3 = 0$$
  3. Hence find all the solutions of the equation $$4 \tan 2 x + 3 \cot x \sec ^ { 2 } x = 0$$ which lie in the interval \(0 \leqslant x \leqslant 2 \pi\).
