  1. Express \(3 \sin \theta + 2 \cos \theta\) in the form \(R \sin ( \theta + \alpha )\), where \(R > 0\) and \(0 ^ { \circ } < \alpha < 90 ^ { \circ }\).
  2. Hence solve the equation \(3 \sin \theta + 2 \cos \theta = \frac { 7 } { 2 }\), giving all solutions for which \(0 ^ { \circ } < \theta < 360 ^ { \circ }\). \section*{June 2005}
