Question 1
a.

Show that the equation

5cos⁡2x=3(1+sin⁡x) 5 \cos^2 x = 3(1 + \sin x) 5cos2x=3(1+sinx)

can be written as

5sin⁡2x+3sin⁡x−2=0. 5 \sin^2 x + 3 \sin x - 2 = 0. 5sin2x+3sinx−2=0.

b.

Hence solve, for 0≤x<360∘0 \leq x < 360^\circ0≤x<360∘, the equation

5cos⁡2x=3(1+sin⁡x), 5 \cos^2 x = 3(1 + \sin x), 5cos2x=3(1+sinx),

giving your answers to 1 decimal place where appropriate.
