- Express \(2 \cos \theta + ( \sqrt { } 5 ) \sin \theta\) in the form \(R \cos ( \theta - \alpha )\) where \(R > 0\) and \(0 ^ { \circ } < \alpha < 90 ^ { \circ }\), giving the value of \(\alpha\) correct to 2 decimal places.
- Hence solve the equation \(2 \cos \theta + ( \sqrt { } 5 ) \sin \theta = 1\) for \(0 ^ { \circ } < \theta < 360 ^ { \circ }\).
