2. (a) Use the identities for \(\cos ( A + B )\) and \(\cos ( A - B )\) to prove that
$$2 \cos A \cos B \equiv \cos ( A + B ) + \cos ( A - B ) .$$
(b) Hence, or otherwise, find in terms of \(\pi\) the solutions of the equation
$$2 \cos \left( x + \frac { \pi } { 2 } \right) = \sec \left( x + \frac { \pi } { 6 } \right) ,$$
for \(x\) in the interval \(0 \leq x \leq \pi\).

5. (a) Show that \(\sin \theta - \sin 3 \theta\) can be expressed in the form \(a \cos b \theta \sin \theta\), where \(a , b\) are integers whose values are to be determined.
(b) Find the mean value of \(y = 2 \cos 2 \theta \sin \theta + 7\) between \(\theta = 1\) and \(\theta = 3\), giving your answer correct to two decimal places.
