6. (a) Prove that $$1 - \cos 2 \theta \equiv \tan \theta \sin 2 \theta , \quad \theta \neq \frac { ( 2 n + 1 ) \pi } { 2 } , \quad n \in \mathbb { Z }$$ (b) Hence solve, for \(- \frac { \pi } { 2 } < x < \frac { \pi } { 2 }\), the equation $$\left( \sec ^ { 2 } x - 5 \right) ( 1 - \cos 2 x ) = 3 \tan ^ { 2 } x \sin 2 x$$ Give any non-exact answer to 3 decimal places where appropriate.
