Question 2
a.

Show that the equation

3sin⁡2θ−2cos⁡2θ=1 3 \sin^2 \theta - 2 \cos^2 \theta = 1 3sin2θ−2cos2θ=1

can be written as

5sin⁡2θ=3. 5 \sin^2 \theta = 3. 5sin2θ=3.

b.

Hence solve, for 0∘≤θ<360∘0^\circ \leq \theta < 360^\circ0∘≤θ<360∘, the equation

3sin⁡2θ−2cos⁡2θ=1, 3 \sin^2 \theta - 2 \cos^2 \theta = 1, 3sin2θ−2cos2θ=1,

giving your answer to 1 decimal place.
