4. (a) Express \(2 \sin x ^ { \circ } - 3 \cos x ^ { \circ }\) in the form \(R \sin ( x - \alpha ) ^ { \circ }\) where \(R > 0\) and \(0 < \alpha < 90\).
(b) Show that the equation
$$\operatorname { cosec } x ^ { \circ } + 3 \cot x ^ { \circ } = 2$$
can be written in the form
$$2 \sin x ^ { \circ } - 3 \cos x ^ { \circ } = 1 .$$
(c) Solve the equation
$$\operatorname { cosec } x ^ { \circ } + 3 \cot x ^ { \circ } = 2 ,$$
for \(x\) in the interval \(0 \leq x \leq 360\), giving your answers to 1 decimal place.
