5. (a) Using the identity \(\cos ( A + B ) \equiv \cos A \cos B - \sin A \sin B\), prove that
$$\cos 2 A \equiv 1 - 2 \sin ^ { 2 } A$$
(b) Show that
$$2 \sin 2 \theta - 3 \cos 2 \theta - 3 \sin \theta + 3 \equiv \sin \theta ( 4 \cos \theta + 6 \sin \theta - 3 )$$
(c) Express \(4 \cos \theta + 6 \sin \theta\) in the form \(R \sin ( \theta + \alpha )\), where \(R > 0\) and \(0 < \alpha < \frac { 1 } { 2 } \pi\).
(d) Hence, for \(0 \leqslant \theta < \pi\), solve
$$2 \sin 2 \theta = 3 ( \cos 2 \theta + \sin \theta - 1 )$$
giving your answers in radians to 3 significant figures, where appropriate.

8. (i) Given that \(\cos ( x + 30 ) ^ { \circ } = 3 \cos ( x - 30 ) ^ { \circ }\), prove that tan \(x ^ { \circ } = - \frac { \sqrt { 3 } } { 2 }\).
(ii) (a) Prove that \(\frac { 1 - \cos 2 \theta } { \sin 2 \theta } \equiv \tan \theta\).
(b) Verify that \(\theta = 180 ^ { \circ }\) is a solution of the equation \(\sin 2 \theta = 2 - 2 \cos 2 \theta\).
(c) Using the result in part (a), or otherwise, find the other two solutions, \(0 < \theta < 360 ^ { \circ }\), of the equation using \(\sin 2 \theta = 2 - 2 \cos 2 \theta\).
