  1. Given that $$\frac { 3 + \sin ^ { 2 } \theta } { \cos \theta - 2 } = 3 \cos \theta$$ show that $$\cos \theta = - \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$
  2. Hence solve the equation $$\frac { 3 + \sin ^ { 2 } 3 x } { \cos 3 x - 2 } = 3 \cos 3 x$$ giving all solutions in degrees in the interval \(0 ^ { \circ } < x < 180 ^ { \circ }\).
