Question 100

Given that θ \theta\,θ is small,

4cos⁡(θ)+cos⁡2(2θ)≈5−6θ2+4θ4 4 \cos (\theta) + \cos^2 (2\theta) \approx 5 - 6\theta^2 + 4\theta^4 4cos(θ)+cos2(2θ)≈5−6θ2+4θ4

Hence find an approximation of 4cos⁡(θ)+cos⁡2(2θ)4 \cos (\theta) + \cos^2 (2\theta)4cos(θ)+cos2(2θ) when θ=6∘\theta = 6^\circθ=6∘, giving your answer to 5 decimal places
