8 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
  1. By writing \(\sin \theta\) in terms of \(\mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \theta }\) and \(\mathrm { e } ^ { - \mathrm { i } \theta }\) show that $$\sin ^ { 6 } \theta = \frac { 1 } { 32 } ( 10 - 15 \cos 2 \theta + 6 \cos 4 \theta - \cos 6 \theta ) .$$
  2. Hence show that \(\sin \frac { 1 } { 8 } \pi = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \sqrt [ 6 ] { 20 - 14 \sqrt { 2 } }\).
