  1. In this question you must show detailed reasoning.
Solutions relying entirely on calculator technology are not acceptable.
  1. Show that the equation $$( 3 \cos \theta - \tan \theta ) \cos \theta = 2$$ can be written as $$3 \sin ^ { 2 } \theta + \sin \theta - 1 = 0$$
  2. Hence solve for \(- \frac { \pi } { 2 } \leqslant x \leqslant \frac { \pi } { 2 }\) $$( 3 \cos 2 x - \tan 2 x ) \cos 2 x = 2$$
