9 In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
  1. Show that \(\operatorname { Re } \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { Ai } \theta } \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { \mathrm { i } \theta } + \mathrm { e } ^ { - \mathrm { i } \theta } \right) ^ { 4 } \right) = a \cos 4 \theta \cos ^ { 4 } \theta\), where \(a\) is an integer to be determined.
  2. Hence show that \(\cos \frac { 1 } { 12 } \pi = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \sqrt [ 4 ] { \mathrm { b } + \mathrm { c } \sqrt { 3 } }\), where \(b\) and \(c\) are integers to be determined.
