Show that \(\cos ( \alpha + \beta ) = \frac { 1 - \tan \alpha \tan \beta } { \sec \alpha \sec \beta }\).
Hence show that \(\cos 2 \alpha = \frac { 1 - \tan ^ { 2 } \alpha } { 1 + \tan ^ { 2 } \alpha }\).
Hence or otherwise solve the equation \(\frac { 1 - \tan ^ { 2 } \theta } { 1 + \tan ^ { 2 } \theta } = \frac { 1 } { 2 }\) for \(0 ^ { \circ } \leqslant \theta \leqslant 180 ^ { \circ }\).
