a.

Show that the equation 2sin⁡2x=7cos⁡x+52\sin^2 x = 7\cos x + 52sin2x=7cosx+5 can be written in the form 2cos⁡2x+7cos⁡x+3=02\cos^2 x + 7\cos x + 3 = 02cos2x+7cosx+3=0

b.

Hence solve, for 0°⩽x<360°0° \leqslant x < 360°0°⩽x<360°, the equation 2sin⁡2x=7cos⁡x+52\sin^2 x = 7\cos x + 52sin2x=7cosx+5.
