5. (a) Show that the equation $$4 \cos \theta - 1 = 2 \sin \theta \tan \theta$$ can be written in the form $$6 \cos ^ { 2 } \theta - \cos \theta - 2 = 0$$ (b) Hence solve, for \(0 \leqslant x < 90 ^ { \circ }\) $$4 \cos 3 x - 1 = 2 \sin 3 x \tan 3 x$$ giving your answers, where appropriate, to one decimal place.
