- (a) Given that \(\cos A = \frac { 3 } { 4 }\), where \(270 ^ { \circ } < A < 360 ^ { \circ }\), find the exact value of \(\sin 2 A\).
(b) (i) Show that \(\cos \left( 2 x + \frac { \pi } { 3 } \right) + \cos \left( 2 x - \frac { \pi } { 3 } \right) \equiv \cos 2 x\).
Given that
$$y = 3 \sin ^ { 2 } x + \cos \left( 2 x + \frac { \pi } { 3 } \right) + \cos \left( 2 x - \frac { \pi } { 3 } \right)$$
(ii) show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = \sin 2 x\).
