8. (i) Solve, for \(- 180 ^ { \circ } \leqslant x < 180 ^ { \circ }\),
$$\tan \left( x - 40 ^ { \circ } \right) = 1.5$$
giving your answers to 1 decimal place.
(ii) (a) Show that the equation
$$\sin \theta \tan \theta = 3 \cos \theta + 2$$
can be written in the form
$$4 \cos ^ { 2 } \theta + 2 \cos \theta - 1 = 0$$
(b) Hence solve, for \(0 \leqslant \theta < 360 ^ { \circ }\),
$$\sin \theta \tan \theta = 3 \cos \theta + 2$$
showing each stage of your working.
