Question 17
a.

Show that the equation

10cos⁡θ=3cosec⁡θ 10 \cos \theta = 3 \operatorname{cosec} \theta 10cosθ=3cosecθ

can be written in the form

sin⁡2θ=k \sin 2\theta = k sin2θ=k

where kkk is a constant to be found.

b.

Hence find the smallest positive solution of the equation

10cos⁡θ=3cosec⁡θ 10 \cos \theta = 3 \operatorname{cosec} \theta 10cosθ=3cosecθ

giving your answer, in degrees, to one decimal place.
