  1. By first expanding \(\tan ( 2 \theta + 2 \theta )\), show that the equation \(\tan 4 \theta = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \tan \theta\) may be expressed as \(\tan ^ { 4 } \theta + 2 \tan ^ { 2 } \theta - 7 = 0\).
  2. Hence solve the equation \(\tan 4 \theta = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \tan \theta\), for \(0 ^ { \circ } < \theta < 180 ^ { \circ }\).
