Okay, m, let's solve part (b) of question 1.

To find all solutions to the equation cos⁡(2θ)+3sin⁡θ=2\cos(2\theta) + 3\sin\theta = 2 in the interval 0∘≤θ≤360∘0^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ:

  1. Use the double angle identity for cos⁡(2θ)\cos(2\theta).

    We know that cos⁡(2θ)=1−2sin⁡2θ\cos(2\theta) = 1 - 2\sin^2\theta. Substitute this into the given equation.

    (1−2sin⁡2θ)+3sin⁡θ=2(1 - 2\sin^2\theta) + 3\sin\theta = 2
  2. Rearrange the equation into a quadratic form.

    1−2sin⁡2θ+3sin⁡θ−2=01 - 2\sin^2\theta + 3\sin\theta - 2 = 0 −2sin⁡2θ+3sin⁡θ−1=0-2\sin^2\theta + 3\sin\theta - 1 = 0

    Multiply by −1-1 to make the leading coefficient positive:

    2sin⁡2θ−3sin⁡θ+1=02\sin^2\theta - 3\sin\theta + 1 = 0
  3. Solve the quadratic equation for sin⁡θ\sin\theta.

    Let x=sin⁡θx = \sin\theta. The equation becomes 2x2−3x+1=02x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0.
    Factor the quadratic equation:

    (2x−1)(x−1)=0(2x - 1)(x - 1) = 0

    This gives two possible values for xx:

    2x−1=0  ⟹  x=122x - 1 = 0 \implies x = \frac{1}{2} x−1=0  ⟹  x=1x - 1 = 0 \implies x = 1

    So, we have sin⁡θ=12\sin\theta = \frac{1}{2} or sin⁡θ=1\sin\theta = 1.

  4. Find the values of θ\theta for sin⁡θ=1\sin\theta = 1 in the interval 0∘≤θ≤360∘0^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ.

    The only angle in this interval for which sin⁡θ=1\sin\theta = 1 is:

    θ=90∘\theta = 90^\circ
  5. Find the values of θ\theta for sin⁡θ=12\sin\theta = \frac{1}{2} in the interval 0∘≤θ≤360∘0^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ.

    The principal value (in the first quadrant) for which sin⁡θ=12\sin\theta = \frac{1}{2} is:

    θ1=30∘\theta_1 = 30^\circ

    Since sin⁡θ\sin\theta is also positive in the second quadrant, the other solution in the interval is:

    θ2=180∘−30∘=150∘\theta_2 = 180^\circ - 30^\circ = 150^\circ
  6. List all solutions.

    The solutions for θ\theta in the interval 0∘≤θ≤360∘0^\circ \le \theta \le 360^\circ are 30∘30^\circ, 90∘90^\circ, and 150∘150^\circ.

    The solutions are 30∘,90∘,150∘30^\circ, 90^\circ, 150^\circ.
