5. (a) Express \(3 \cos x ^ { \circ } + \sin x ^ { \circ }\) in the form \(R \cos ( x - \alpha ) ^ { \circ }\) where \(R > 0\) and \(0 < \alpha < 90\).
(b) Using your answer to part (a), or otherwise, solve the equation
$$6 \cos ^ { 2 } x ^ { \circ } + \sin 2 x ^ { \circ } = 0$$
for \(x\) in the interval \(0 \leq x \leq 360\), giving your answers to 1 decimal place where appropriate.
