5. (In this question, solutions based entirely on graphical or numerical methods are not acceptable.)
  1. Solve, for \(0 < \theta < \frac { \pi } { 2 }\) $$5 \sin 3 \theta - 7 \cos 3 \theta = 0$$ Give each solution, in radians, to 3 significant figures.
  2. Solve, for \(0 < x < 360 ^ { \circ }\) $$9 \cos ^ { 2 } x + 5 \cos x = 3 \sin ^ { 2 } x$$ Give each solution, in degrees, to one decimal place.
