  1. It is given that \(\sec x - \tan x = - 5\).
    1. Show that \(\sec x + \tan x = - 0.2\).
    2. Hence find the exact value of \(\cos x\).
  2. Hence solve the equation $$\sec \left( 2 x - 70 ^ { \circ } \right) - \tan \left( 2 x - 70 ^ { \circ } \right) = - 5$$ giving all values of \(x\), to one decimal place, in the interval \(- 90 ^ { \circ } \leqslant x \leqslant 90 ^ { \circ }\).
