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