  1. Express \(3 \sin \theta + 2 \cos \theta\) in the form \(R \sin ( \theta + \alpha )\), where \(R > 0\) and \(0 ^ { \circ } < \alpha < 90 ^ { \circ }\), stating the exact value of \(R\) and giving the value of \(\alpha\) correct to 2 decimal places.
  2. Hence solve the equation $$3 \sin \theta + 2 \cos \theta = 1$$ for \(0 ^ { \circ } < \theta < 180 ^ { \circ }\).
