a.

By writing cos⁡3θ \cos 3\theta\,cos3θ as cos⁡(2θ+θ)\cos(2\theta + \theta)cos(2θ+θ) show that cos⁡3θ=4cos⁡3θ−3cos⁡θ\cos 3\theta = 4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\thetacos3θ=4cos3θ−3cosθ

b.

Solve, for 0≤θ≤π0 \leq \theta \leq \pi0≤θ≤π, the equation,

4cos⁡3θ−3cos⁡θ=0.5 4\cos^3\theta - 3\cos\theta = 0.5 4cos3θ−3cosθ=0.5

Give your answers in terms of π\piπ.
