  1. Show that the equation \(2 \cos x \tan ^ { 2 } x = 3 ( 1 + \cos x )\) can be expressed in the form $$5 \cos ^ { 2 } x + 3 \cos x - 2 = 0$$ \section*{(b) In this question you must show detailed reasoning.} Hence solve the equation $$2 \cos 3 \theta \tan ^ { 2 } 3 \theta = 3 ( 1 + \cos 3 \theta ) ,$$ giving all values of \(\theta\) between \(0 ^ { \circ }\) and \(120 ^ { \circ }\), correct to \(\mathbf { 1 }\) decimal place where appropriate.
