1 Express \(\sin \theta - 3 \cos \theta\) in the form \(R \sin ( \theta - \alpha )\), where \(R\) and \(\alpha\) are constants to be determined, and \(0 ^ { \circ } < \alpha < 90 ^ { \circ }\). Hence solve the equation \(\sin \theta - 3 \cos \theta = 1\) for \(0 ^ { \circ } \leqslant \theta \leqslant 360 ^ { \circ }\).
